Speak kind words to mankind and the unkind will attack you. Speak common sense using all your senses, and you will attacked by the senseless. Speak truth and you will be attacked by the untruthful. Speak about absolutely nothing and absolutely nothing will speak back, but then nothing at all will ever change.

Suzy Kassem

Deeds, not words shall speak to me.

John William Fletcher

Deeds, not words shall speak me.

John Fletcher

The law of silence: Speak little. Say only what you must. Speak only when necessary. Your oratory should be deeds, not words. You accomplish: let others talk.

Corneliu Zelea Codreanu

The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.

Leo Tolstoy

Words are one thing - deeds something entirely different. Fine words are a mask to cover shady deeds. A sincere diplomat is like dry water or wooden iron.

Joseph Stalin

Brave men do not boast nor bluster. Deeds, not words, speak for such.

Antoine Rivarol

Speak Thou in my words today, think in my thoughts, and work in all my deeds.

John Baillie

Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.

Alfred North Whitehead

When we don't like to face up to hard facts, we use soft words. We do not speak about killing a baby within the womb, but about "termination of potential life." Words are often multiplied to try to cover dark deeds.

Neal A. Maxwell

Whenever there is a conflict between precept and example, the latter wins because deeds speak louder than our words.

Sergey Kirov

I pray you, in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak Of one that loved not wisely but too well; Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought, Perplexed in the extreme. . .

William Shakespeare

What, gone without a word? Ay, so true love should do; it cannot speak, For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it.

William Shakespeare

The goodness of the heart is shown in deeds Of peacefulness and kindness. Hand and heart Are one thing with the good, as thou should'st be. Do my words trouble thee? then treasure them, Pain overgot gives peace, as death doth Heaven. All things that speak of Heaven speak of peace.

Philip James Bailey

Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds, Fill it with sunshine, Kind words, and Kind deeds.
