Sacrifices made often lead to/produce/bring about things that are even more valuable.

Do all of the underlined words fit into the above sample and convey the same idea? Thanks.

Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

The result is the same, but I think the mental image is different:

lead to: shows direction of progress/development, from here to there

produce: think about a box which opens and generates/reveals/pops the result, Jack-in-the-box,
[link]
BAM!, here

bring about: means bring/move the results to us, from there to here
