“Virtue is its own reward”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero

Simplified Meaning:
When you do something good or act morally, the positive feeling you get from doing it is a reward in itself, even if no one else notices or praises you. Imagine helping a friend who is in need. Even if nobody thanks you or gives you a prize, you still feel happy and proud inside because you did the right thing. This sense of satisfaction and inner happiness from doing good deeds is what the saying is all about. You don't need others to tell you that you did well; the knowledge that you acted virtuously is enough to make you feel good. So, whenever you’re faced with a choice, remember that doing the right thing will always make you feel fulfilled and content.
