From what is said to what is done, there is a big difference (rough translation). It is an idiomatic expression that means "actions speak louder than words."

Looks like a mistake in the dictionary when you double click "trecho" . As far as I know, "trecho" means distance and not stretch. - 00e657d4, Oct 31, 2011
