Don't talk about yourself; it will be done when you leave.

Summary

This quote suggests that one's actions, achievements, and character should speak for themselves rather than constantly talking about oneself. It implies that self-promotion or constantly seeking attention can be unnecessary and potentially off-putting. The quote emphasizes the importance of allowing others to form their own opinions and judgments about an individual based on their observable qualities and behavior rather than relying on self-centered conversations and self-acclamation. Ultimately, one's impact and reputation will already speak for themselves long after they have gone.
