Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes people try to look better or more impressive than they really are. They might act as if they are very kind, brave, or honest when they are not. The best thing we can do is to actually become these good things we pretend to be. Imagine a person that always talks about helping others but never does. If that person starts truly helping others, they will live an honorable life. They won't just talk about being good, they will actually be good. So, if we want to have true respect and honor from others, we should make our actions match the good qualities we show on the outside.
