TODAY'S IDIOM: ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

"ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS"



What you do is more significant than what you say.

Example: You have to prepare for what your opponents could do, not what they say they'll do, because actions speak louder than words.

Los hechos valen más que mil palabras.

Example sentences:

  • Of course the government have made all sorts of promises but as we all know, actions speak louder than words / Por supuesto, el gobierno ha hecho todo tipo de promesas, pero como todos sabemos, los hechos valen más que mil palabras.

  • You keep saying that you'll do your fair share of the housework. Remember that actions speak louder than words / Sigues diciendo que vas a hacer tu parte de las tareas domésticas. Recuerda que los hechos valen más que mil palabras.

Additional examples:

  • Actions speaking louder than words would be actually recycling, not just wearing a shirt making everyone think that you do.

  • Politicians should be reminded that actions speak louder than words.
