About This Quote
What you do teaches faster, and has a lasting impression, far beyond what you say.” This quote is about the value of action over words. The speaker is saying that what you do will have stronger impact on others than what you say. It may be obvious that actions influence behavior more than words, but that doesn’t mean that people respond to your actions. When you are making a decision or have a conversation with someone, are you really listening to their words? Of course not! You are probably thinking of what kind of action they might take if their words trigger a certain response in you. That’s why it is important to consider both your words and your actions when speaking with others.
