To Thine Own Self be True...

“This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
―William Shakespeare
I love this quote from Shakespeare. It makes sense, and, because it's from Shakespeare, it's written in such a beautiful way.
Everything has to work from the inside out, from the bottom up. If you were building a house, you wouldn't start from the top. It wouldn't work, because what you were building would fall down. Just like gravity doesn't let you work from the top down, virtue is impossible to have only when in front of people.
How can you be truer to yourself?
