You are exactly what you seem, and so you always assume that

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals tend to view others based on their own characteristics and perceptions. In other words, people believe that others are just as they appear to be, assuming they possess similar qualities and motivations. This perspective stems from the self-centered tendency of projecting one's own experiences, thoughts, and behaviors onto others, leading to assumptions about their true nature.
