Please help me to make a quotation

0Hi,02br
02br
00Sometimes we do things for right reasons but others consider us wrong because we can't give them valid reasons for our actions. 02br
02br
00Let say there is a person who is somewhat rude toward me. First day he comes and calls me '' o you stupid'' without any reason. On second day he comes and calls me 01i00o you idiot02i00. Third day he comes and calls me 01i00o you chimpanzee02i00. Story goes on in the same way for hundred days. On 101th day he comes and calls me 01i00o you lazy stupid person02i00. Suddenly I stand up and give a heavy blow on his face. Then people will get around us and ask me what happened. Will I tell them that that person called me that on certain day and on a certain day he called me that and on fiftieth day he called me that and blah blah. Obviously I will look like a child and people will consider me I'm rude and childish and I punched that person without any reason. Although there was a reason for that blow on his face but I can not explain this to people.02br
02br
00I want to make a quotation for what I said above. I have a suggestion which I will write down below. You give you own quotation and/or correct mine.02br

01b00''Sometimes we cannot explain our actions and motives behind them.''02b0-

0No, you want to create a proverb, not a quotation (see your other question on this). A quotation has to be 'Sometimes we cannot explain our actions' - Jackson 6612. 02br 02br 00I'm not sure that you can really just deliberately create a proverb.

00I still couldn't find the required proverb. By the way what does that mean, ''Sometimes an early action speaks louder then 100 words.''0-

0 Well I just made it up. And I understand it that if you had said something, punched her in the face, the first time ( after the first insult ) then there would not be the 101st time.02br
02br
00Or something along those lines.02br
