“Virtue is its own reward”
— Marcus Tullius Cicero

Simplified Meaning:
Doing good things makes you feel good inside without needing anything in return. For example, imagine you help a friend with their homework. Even if they don't give you a gift or money, you still feel happy because you helped someone. This happiness comes from knowing you did the right thing. Just like that, doing the right thing, being honest, or helping others brings its own kind of happiness. It's like an invisible reward that makes your heart feel full. So, when you choose to be kind or honest, you gain this special happiness that no one can take away from you.
