Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of action over words. It suggests that it is not enough to simply express a desire or intention to give, but it is necessary to actually take action and give. Merely hoping or expressing intentions without taking tangible steps will not lead to any progress or catch up to the desired outcome. True impact and fulfillment come from actively engaging and following through with one's intentions.
