Done more, without question. Its' easy to talk...its' another thing entirely to stand for what you believe in, to stand for what is right. All I know is that, at the end of the day, I'd want people to say, "there stood a good man, one who stood tall and proud, one who didn't run from the issues of the day but fought for what he believed in."
 
When the time has come for me to go, I want to die knowing that I did everything I said I would. Therefore I chose done more.
 
I picked, "What?" xD It depends on the situation for me. Are we talking about the end of my life? I should hope I'd've done more than said things.
 
I'll have done more. Not much for petty chit chat in the real world.
 
"Abandoning idle chatter, he abstains from idle chatter. He speaks in season, speaks what is factual, what is in accordance with the goal, the Dhamma, and the Vinaya (Doctrine and Discipline). He speaks words worth treasuring, seasonable, reasonable, circumscribed, and connected with the goal. 'This is how one is made pure in four ways by verbal action.'"

-the Anguttara Nikaya, Chinese Buddhism
