“Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds.”
— William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:
Saying something nice or making promises is not the same as taking action. Imagine promising to help a friend move, but then not showing up to actually help. Your promise made your friend feel good, but it didn’t help them move their things. Actions are what really count, not just words. For instance, in history, leaders who promised change but did nothing lost people’s trust. On the other hand, those who took action made real improvements. In your own life, if you want to make a difference or help someone, you need to do more than just talk about it. Show your care through what you do, not just what you say. This makes your intentions clear and builds trust.
