ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

What you do is more important than what you say; someone’s words may not be trustworthy. This can be used on its own in a sentence to express uncertainty or doubt about something someone has said.

Notice the following:

１番例文：

Hinata: “John keeps saying he wants to take me out for dinner, but then he never does!”

Akari: “If he liked you, he’d really ask you out, wouldn’t he? Actions speak louder than words.“

２番例文：

Yuki: “My boss keeps telling me I will get a raise, but it’s been six months already and he hasn’t given me one!”

Tomoki: “You know what they say: ‘Actions speak louder than words.’ Maybe you should bring it up to your boss the next time you see him…”
