EDIT: (note: I like Inq's variation better -- I also had not caught from his original that he was using another real proverb rather than an alternative (funny) ending. While people are free to continue merely to make things up I'm going to follow Inq's lead and use pre-existing bits. More interesting and a bit more of a challenge to stay (mostly) relevant)
Actions speak louder...
