Abraham Lincoln knew a thing or two about human nature and how we can often deceive ourselves and others with hypocrisy and broken promises.
When he used the popular idiom, “Actions speak louder than words” in the form we use today, he reminds us that it’s not what we say but what we do that reveals our character.
Words are cheap and have become a dime a dozen in recent years.
You don’t know whose words to believe or even what they mean sometimes.
It’s only when someone follows up their words with matching actions that we can trust them.
Our collection of actions over words quotes would make even old Abe Lincoln smile, knowing his wisdom has lasted through many decades.
