...Wizard's Fifth Rule: Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.

About This Quote

The Wizard of Oz tells us how to escape the land of Oz. He advises us to “Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.” As the Wizard says, don’t judge someone by what they say or even by their appearance. Instead, judge them by what they do.
