I am not imposed upon by fine words; I can see what actions

Summary

This quote emphasizes the speaker's skepticism towards empty rhetoric or empty promises. Words alone are not enough to persuade or convince the speaker; they value actions over mere words. The speaker believes that true intentions and meanings are revealed through actions and not through persuasive language. They trust their ability to perceive the authenticity and true intentions of others based on their actions rather than being swayed by eloquent or persuasive speech.
