Understanding this quote
The quote says that what people actually do matters most when judging a situation or making a decision. Plans, promises, or intentions may be meaningful, but “concrete acts” provide clear evidence and have real effects. They are therefore “decisive”: they settle the matter more firmly than words alone.
