do you think actions speak louder then words?

Do you believe that words can speak louder than actions or do you think actions can speak louder than words? My thought on this is that words can be spoken louder then actions because when some is thinking that they want to hurt most of the time they don't do it. So instead of using actions they use words which can hurt you words can make you depressed. They can also make people want to hurt themselves, when people hurt themselves. Those are my thoughts on do you think actions speak louder then words.
