A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.

A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one

Summary

This quote is suggesting that actions speak louder than words. It implies that a single action or act can have a more significant impact than a thousand words or promises. It emphasizes the idea that it is not enough to merely talk about something, but rather the true measure of sincerity lies in actually taking action and demonstrating one's beliefs and intentions. Ultimately, it highlights the importance of showing rather than telling in order to leave a lasting impression.

Well, we didn't have our original drummer on our last record. And most of that album was not played as a band in the studio. It was mostly the world of computers and overdubs. There was very few things played live or worked out as a band.

I love you too much to lie to you, Lisey. I love you with all that passes for my heart. I suspect that kind of all-out love becomes a burden to a woman in time, but it's the only kind I have to give. I think we're going to be quite a wealthy couple in terms of money, but I'll almost certainly be an emotional pauper all my life. I've got the money coming, but as for the rest I've got just enough for you, and I won't ever dirty or dilute it with lies. Not with the words I say, not with the ones I hold back.
