Babylonian Talmud, Baba Metzia 87a
תלמוד בבלי מסכת בבא מציעא דף פז עמוד א
מכאן שצדיקים אומרים מעט ועושים הרבה, רשעים אומרים הרבה ואפילו מעט אינם עושים.
This teaches that righteous people promise little and perform much; whereas the wicked promise much and do not perform even little. [Soncino translation. Edited for gender neutrality]
