"Look before you leap for as you sow, ye are like to reap"

This quote by Samuel Butler is a tip to believe carefully before taking any action. It is a warning that whatever we do, we will have to deal with the repercussions of our actions. The quote is a metaphor, comparing our actions to sowing a seed. Simply as a farmer sows a seed and enjoys the harvest, our actions will have a corresponding result. If we act attentively and properly, we will enjoy the rewards of our efforts. On the other hand, if we act recklessly, we will need to face the repercussions of our actions. Therefore, it is essential to look prior to we leap and believe thoroughly prior to taking any action.
