Quote by Jean-Paul Sartre

Commitment is an act, not a word.

Commitment is an act, not a word.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of action and follow-through in showing commitment. It suggests that true commitment is not merely expressed through words or promises, but rather through one's consistent and dedicated actions and efforts. It implies that people can claim to be committed, but it is their actions that ultimately determine their level of commitment to a cause, relationship, or goal. In essence, the quote reminds us that talk is cheap, and it is through our actions that we truly demonstrate our commitment.
