All speech is vain and empty unless it be accompanied by action.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain.
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better, Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.
No speech can stain what is noble by nature.
All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.
Words may be false and full of art; Sighs are the natural language of the heart.
What I voice, I voice though my art, if that's not too vainglorious a word. But I don't think it is.
To say that a man is vain means merely that he is pleased with the effect he produces on other people.
Speech is the mirror of the soul.
Speech is the mirror of action.
When deeds speak, words are nothing.
