What does the sentence (words do not pay ) mean or wants to say.

Say you are saying an apology... it doesn't mean anything until your ACTIONS show it. Words do not pay the deeds you have done, you need to prove it to others, that you are truly sorry, AND change your habits. If you don't even change your habits, then people will know that you weren't even sorry in the first place, and that you just said it to get it over with. Words also do no pay what you say. If you say a word to your family that isn't so nice... words can't pay unless your actions show it.

So what I am trying to get at is words do not pay, unless your actions show that you are truly sorry, and that your actions backup your words.

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;

The meaning of that sentence can be stated in another popular phrase:

'Talk is cheap' or to make it even clearer, 'You have to talk the talk and walk the walk'.

It's quite easy to say the appropriate words in any given occasion but the only thing that makes a real difference in solving any issues is to take corrective actions.

Take the well documented case of politicians who often say all the right things trying to appease but seldom take the right actions and follow through.
