Hum. There is a Japanese show about English on right now, and they're working away on proverbs. The first one is:
A friend in words and not in deeds is like a garden full of weeds.
I don't think I've ever heard that, but . . . what do you think? The teacher talked about weeds killing the other plants by strangling them with their roots, which is another image I don't think I've ever heard before.

Go ahead. Explain why words but no deeds are like weeds.

When we write, we learn about ourselves.
