I have a perfect horror of words that are not backed up by deeds.

Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.

Great thought speak only to the thoughtful mind ,but great actions speak to all mankind.

Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.

Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.

No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care

Whoever loves much, does much...

Esoteric words neither make us holy nor righteous; only a virtuous life makes us beloved of God. I would rather experience repentance in my soul than know how to define it.

We shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done; not how well we have spoken but how well we have lived.

For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God.

Without charity external work is of no value, but anything done in charity, be it ever so small and trivial, is entirely fruitful inasmuch as God weighs the love with which a man acts rather than the deed itself.

The performance of an action is worthless in itself, if it is not done out of charity. Charity must be our motive; then everything we do, however little and insignificant, bears a rich harvest. After all, what God takes into account is not so much the thing we do, as the love that went to the doing of it.
