actions speak louder than words
Definition:  someone’s character is best reflected by his or her actions rather than just saying, it is easy to say things but harder to act
Usage:  Karen always tells johnny that she loves him, but she never does anything to prove that; today Johnny told her that he will believe it when he sees it because actions speak louder than words
