“Well done is better than well said”
— Benjamin Franklin

Simplified Meaning:
Taking action and actually doing something is more valuable than just talking about it. For example, if you keep saying you're going to clean your room but never actually clean it, your words don't mean much. However, if you just go ahead and clean your room, your actions show you're responsible and reliable. This idea can apply to many areas of life, such as work or school. If you promise your boss you'll finish a project but don't, your promise doesn't count for much. But if you just finish the project without making a big deal about it, that's impressive. People trust actions more than they trust promises, so it's better to focus on doing things rather than just talking about them.
