“Let us say what we feel, and feel what we say; let speech harmonize with life.”
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
When we speak, our words should match our true feelings, and our actions should match our words. Imagine you have a friend who always says they will help you, but they never do. It makes you feel bad because their promises don't match what they really do. It’s better if people just say what they really mean and then act according to their words. For example, if you promise to help a friend move, make sure you actually show up and help them. This way, they know you are reliable and honest. Being true to your words and actions helps build trust and makes relationships stronger.
