Your thoughts should agree with your words, and the words should agree with your actions. In this world people think one thing, say another thing, and do something else. This is horrible. This is crookedness.

Sivananda

It is not whether your words or actions are tough or gentle; it is the spirit behind your actions and words that announces your inner state.

Rene Char

Prove it. I'll measure your words against your actions, and from that I will determine your worth.

Jackie Morse Kessler

I don't wanta hear all your word descriptions of words words words you made up all winter, man I wanta be enlightened by actions.

Jack Kerouac

You're going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not words, that matter.

Nicholas Sparks

You are a woman: you must never speak what you think; your words must contradict your thoughts, but your actions may contradict your words.

William Congreve

Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless. . .

Oscar Wilde

Your time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely. Don't squander your words or your thoughts. Consider that even the simplest actions you take for your lives matter beyond measure...and they matter forever.

Andy Andrews

If thy words be too luxuriant, confine them, lest they confine thee; he that thinks he never can speak enough may easily speak too much. A full tongue and an empty brain are seldom parted.

Francis Quarles

Actions don't only speak louder than words; actions should be used to interpret words.

Andy Stanley

Your true meaning cannot be grasped or captured by words. You can never be equated with any words, because you are prior to words.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Don't be pretentious is my first advice to young writers. This is the big problem - just because you're getting an MFA doesn't mean you have to write for the Academy. Be true to your personality. Don't temper your personality down with words. Don't build defensive fortresses around yourself with words - words are your friends.

Gary Shteyngart

Actions speak louder than words; let your words teach and your actions speak.

Anthony of Padua

Your circumstances will line up with your words. ... Words are like seeds, they have creative power. ... The more you talk about it the more you call it in. ... Your words will give life to what you are saying. ... You can change your world by simply changing your words. ... You can use your words to bless your life or curse your life.

Joel Osteen

You are like a candle. Imagine you are sending light out all around you. All your words, thoughts and actions are going in many directions. If you say something kind, your kind words go in many directions, and you yourself go with them. We are ...transforming and continuing in a different form at every moment.
