Do actions speak louder than words, or words speak louder than actions?

Question

whats your opinion?

Answer 1

It is possible to speak one way and act another. The way you act is definitive. No amount of words can cover up or justify a bad action. For example, how many people have we seen on YA who claim not to be racist, and then tell us an anecdote which proves that they really are?

Answer 2

Actions definitely speak much louder than any words. I know that when I tell my children not to do something, but then I do it, that is not going to leave a good impression on them. I have to show them by my words AND my actions.

Answer 3

Most people listen to and believe words, but the actions are the clincher.  Talking the talk isn't good enough.

Answer 4

Actions speak much louder. So easy to preach something, but to actually DO what you believe is a better statement.

Answer 5

Speak  little do much

Answer 6

Our Actions  speak loudly !

Answer 7

Actions speak louder as its physical proof that you are going to do what you need to do rather then talking about how your going to do as you say.

Answer 8

The Apostle James wrote -

James 2:18  

But someone will say, "One person has faith, another has actions." My answer is, "Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions."

Which is self explanatory is it not.
