An example from the news: When a preacher preachs against sin, but is caught committing the same sins, he is no longer listened to.

Well, the other type: actions speak louder than words - means what you do is more important than what you say, usually in a situations when you compare somebody's assurances and promises with his actions - when he does not do what he has to do....
In your saying, that sounds differently - means that sb's actions are more visible, but... that doesn't sound pleasant, I feel..

Actions speak louder than words. Meaning that regardless of your thoughts or what you say, it is your behavior and the way you approach things that will dictate the way others see and think about you.

Heres an example....A man has a gun to your head and hes robbing u, but hes saying the sky is a pretty blue and he loves flowers.....you really cant hear his words, because his actions( a gun to your head) are all u can hear and see.

your physical actions speak louder than anything you can verbally say, in other words, Get out and actually do something about a subject instead of just talking about it!

That your actions or what you actually do says more than what you say. If you say one thing but by your actions do another then "what you do" means more than what you actually said.

It means you talk but nothing gets done. I.E " When I get my business... The person will talk about what they are going to do but never go out and do it.
