Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.

Summary

This quote means that future generations or posterity do not honor or celebrate those who simply imitate or copy others. They do not hold imitators in high regard or reward them with recognition. Instead, posterity only cherishes and remembers those who are original, innovative, and establish their own unique paths and contributions. To leave a lasting legacy, one must strive for originality rather than mere imitation.
