Phrasemix defines “Actions speak louder than words,” as “Just saying that you’ll do something doesn’t mean much. Actually doing it is harder and more meaningful.”
I think we’ve all probably come across someone in our life who was all talk and no action. It’s easy to say what you are going to do, maybe even promise to do something. However, following through is the harder part.
Be careful what you say if you really have no intention of actually doing so. In our world politicians seem to be quite notorious for this. Tell the people what they want to hear at the time, and conveniently forget about it later.
A word we need to teach our children is “integrity.” Or as Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements, says, “Be impeccable with your words. Moreover, let your actions speak for themselves.
Teach your children to size up others by their actions, or as the Bible says “their fruit” instead of just what they say.
