Actions are visible, though motives are secret.

Summary

This quote suggests that while our actions can be observed by others, our true motives behind those actions remain concealed and only known to ourselves. People may carry out certain actions to present a particular image or gain a desired outcome, but their underlying intentions may not be apparent. It highlights the complexity of human nature and the fact that we can never fully grasp the true inner motives of others based solely on their observable behaviors.
