“Men should be what they seem.”
— William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:
People should act in a way that matches how they present themselves to others. Imagine someone who always talks about honesty and kindness but then behaves in a dishonest or unkind way. This would confuse others and make them lose trust in that person. Think of a friend who always shows up to help when they promise to do so - you can rely on them because their actions match their words. When people are true to how they seem, it builds trust and respect. It's important because being consistent in what you say and do makes relationships stronger and clearer. If you say you're going to do something, do it – it’s as simple as that.
