So don't make a show of your philosophical learning to the uninitiated, show them by your actions what you have absorbed.

People want guidance, not rhetoric. They need to know what the plan of action is, and how it will be implemented. They want to be given responsibility to help solve the problem and authority to act on it.

It's time to stop just talking, it's time to stop just intending, it's time for action; it's time to shut-up and say something!

Tell the world what you intend to do but first show it.

Don't tell me what I should do until you show me what you can do.

Stop giving meaningless praise and start giving meaningful action.

I believe we have a very broken relationship, at least in the US but probably across the West, where we ask candidates for office about policies that they are going to enact. And it's like a reflex where we want them to tell us 'I'm going to do this this that you want' so they promise us stuff, it doesn't work, they don't have the power to enact it when they get in office or they never meant it in the first place. And we would be much better off, counterintuitive as this sounds, if we assessed their character and their patriotism instead of their policy proposals. My feelin is: I actually don't care what you think of policy. If you impress me, that you're a patriot, that you love the country that I'm a part of, that you want to see it improved, and that your values align with mine so that improved to you also means improved to me, then all I want to know is that you're good at evaluating what policies might get us there.

No, you can’t tell people anything, you’ve got to show ’em.

"TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO, BUT FIRST SHOW IT.This is the equivalent of saying "deeds, and not words, are what count most.

Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.

You have got to stop seeing yourself as a victim, take control and take responsibility.

Don't complain, apologize, or mumble in the defense of reason. [...] Tell people exactly what you think and why you think it.

Do not tell others how to act unless you can set a good example.
