Hello.
In my language, we have a saying that translates like this:
By saying sugar, your mouth doesn't become sweet.
We use it when we want to suggest that saying something is not enough. You have to take action to achieve the desired effect.
Is there an idiom like that in English?
I already know "actions speak louder than words" but that is slightly different.
