Do you walk your talk?

Today’s English
25.1.2017
Mary was so angry with Peter because he didn’t walk his talk.

I hope, you guess the meaning of “walk his talk".

Tamil cine actor Mr. Rajinikanth used to tell in his earlier movies – “I always say what I will do and I will do what I say"

In English, there are two common expressions: “walk the talk” and “talk the walk"

Usage:
1. He walked his talk. (=He did as he said / He kept his word).
2. Don’t worry I will walk my talk.

The phrase “talk the walk" means “speak what you will do"
Usage:
1. Please talk the walk. (=please, say what you can really do)
2. A leader should talk his walk and walk his talk.

(Politicians always walk their talk, don’t they? )
