The bothersome noise of religious talk grows irksome when laid upon the living score of discordant behavior. Talkative's

The body without the soul is nothing but a dead carcass, so just saying these things without doing them is, in the same way, dead. The soul of true religion is the practical part.

There is but little of this faithful dealing with men now-a-days, and that makes religion to stink so in the nostrils of many, as it doth; for they are these talkative fools whose religion is only in word, and are debauched and vain in their conversation, that (being so much admitted into the fellowship of the godly) do puzzle the world, blemish Christianity, and grieve the sincere.

Talkative represents the man or woman who delights in talking about divine things but has only theoretical knowledge of such things. No actual personal heart experience correlates to the matters they love to discuss so eloquently. They are often highly esteemed by others, but those closest to them would quickly betray a life out-of-sync with their words. The mask fashioned by fluency with all subjects divine hides their real life.

Believe in what you say. Then, live what you say. There is no greater credibility than conviction in action.

Don't let your learning lead to knowledge; let your learning lead to action.

Nothing is easier than saying words. Nothing is harder than living them day after day.

Nothing is easier than saying words. Nothing is harder than living them, day after day. What you promise today must be renewed and redecided tomorrow and each day that stretches out before you.

The more you do to go beyond words, the greater the chance you will connect with people.

People don't care what you know until they know you care.

Produce second-mile followers. If you go out of your way to care about others and help them, then they will go out of their way to help you when you ask them to.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
