“Who sows virtue reaps honor.”
— Leonardo da Vinci

Simplified Meaning:
When a person consistently does good deeds and behaves in a morally good way, people around them will come to respect and admire them. Think of it like planting seeds in a garden. If you plant healthy seeds (virtues like kindness, honesty, and generosity), you will get a beautiful garden (honor and respect). For example, imagine a student who always helps others with their homework without expecting anything in return. This helpful student might not gain anything immediately, but over time, other students and teachers will respect and like this student more. In life, just like with plants, you need to put in the effort first to see the positive results later.
