I think it’s time we start doing a little less talking
and a lot more loving. Perhaps you’ll be encouraged by the words of this poem :
Love me not with words
Speak of patience
Show me haste
Speak of kindness
Show me meanness
What a waste, what a waste
Speak of patience
Show me haste
Speak of kindness
Show me meanness
What a waste, what a waste
So love me not with words
For words shall not prevail
Love me in deed and truth
For true love shall not fail
For words shall not prevail
Love me in deed and truth
For true love shall not fail
Talking
is such a natural act, we tend to take it for granted. But when you think about
it, this life skill is crucial to the development and maintenance of strong and
healthy relationships. The flipside of the coin is that sometimes we do so much
taking and forget the action that should follow.
I love the following
proverbs that envelop our topic:
Talk doesn't cook rice.
~Chinese Proverb
Remember, people will judge
you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold , but so
does a hard-boiled egg. ~Author Unknown
Small deeds done are better
than great deeds planned. ~Peter Marshall
An idea not coupled with
action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied. ~Arnold
Glasow
After all is said and done, a lot more will have been said than done. ~Author
Unknown
Well done is better than
well said. ~Benjamin Franklin
