Summary

This quote suggests that actions speak louder than words. While individuals may say anything, their true intentions and character are revealed by their actions. Words can be deceiving, as people may say things to manipulate or please others, but their actions reflect their true motives and values. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to what people do rather than what they say, as actions provide a more reliable indication of their true nature.
