“He should first show them in deeds rather than words all that is good and holy.”

“Holy words and pure and goodly deeds ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory.”

“TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO, BUT FIRST SHOW IT.This is the equivalent of saying "deeds, and not words, are what count most.”

“When you love someone, show them in words AND deeds. To hear you're loved is nice but to feel loved is incredible.”

“Goodness preaches constantly, wants to change humanity, to work miracles from one day to the next, makes a show of its substance, wants to question essentials, but in fact is most often just hollow, lacking in substance, essence itself. A good word which has not yet been put into practice holds within itself every virgin possibility and is more than a good deed, the outcome of which is dubious, its effect arguable. In general words are always more than deeds.”

“The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
