"Talk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether"

- Thomas Carlyle

About this Quote

This quote by Thomas Carlyle is a suggestion that words are only significant if they are followed by activity. It is easy to discuss something, but if there is no action taken to back up the words, then the talk is inevitably pointless. This quote encourages us to think before we talk and also to see to it that our words are supported by action. It is very important to be mindful of the words we make use of and also to make certain that they are complied with by action. If we are unable to do something about it, after that it is much better to continue to be silent. This quote is a tip that words are effective and also ought to be made use of with intention. It is necessary to be conscious of words we utilize and also to ensure that they are complied with by action. If we are unable to do something about it, then it is far better to stay silent. This quote motivates us to assume prior to we speak and also to ensure that our words are backed up by action. It is a pointer that talk without action is ultimately meaningless as well as should be avoided.
