"Faire c'est être"
Simplified meaning
The quote means that our actions define who we are. For example, if someone spends their time helping others, they are a helper. What we do every day shows what kind of person we are more than what we say or think. If you want to be seen as a kind person, you need to do kind things. Just thinking about being kind isn't enough; you need to act on it. So, if you want to be known for something, make sure you are actively doing it.
