Question

What does the phrase ''What you do has far greater impact than what you say'' mean

Answer 1

It means that actions speak louder than words.

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine that someone says to you "I'll visit soon, I swear!",

but never come and visits. You can't ever seem to rely on what this person says!

Then imagine someone else says the same thing, but they come down to visit you a couple of days after. This person followed through on their promise by acting - and actually visiting you. You can always trust this person because their actions speak for them! You can do a lot of talking, but ultimately your actions are what speak for you!

Answer 2

It's similar to the phrase "Actions speak louder than words". It essentially means that physical actions hold a greater weight than words. Because when you do something you are performing an action that immediately creates a result.

An example of this could be when someone loves someone instead of just saying "I love you" often times they will perform acts of service to really make that person feel loved by them i.e. getting flowers, making dinner, etc.

I hope that makes sense :)
