Actions speak louder than words Quote by Chip Deaton
“Sometimes, despite what has been said to the contrary, actions don't quite speak as loud as the written expression of bearing one's soul. I think that this is the key to whether some emotion is ever truly appreciated or whether it is forever trapped in an existential vacuum inside of us.”
