"لدينا في الواقع نوعان من الأخلاق جنبًا إلى جنب: أحدهما الذي نَعظُ به ولكن لا نمارسه، والآخر الذي نمارسه ولكن نادرًا ما نعظُ به."
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
There are two types of ways people think and act about what is right or wrong. One way is what they tell others to do, but they don't actually do it themselves. For example, someone might say that telling the truth is important, but then they often lie to others. The other way is what people actually do in their everyday lives, but they don't talk much about it. For instance, someone might quietly help their neighbors in need without telling anyone about it. This shows that people sometimes act differently from what they say and that real actions might speak louder than words. To live better, we should try to align what we preach with what we practice, making sure our actions match our words.
