The phrase "the word should be as cousin to the deed" is from William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet." In this context, it means that words should be connected to actions and one's actions should reflect their words.

What does The word should be as cousin to the deed mean?

This phrase means that saying you will do something is not the same as actually doing it. Actions speak louder than words.


What does this quote mean The word should be as cousin to the deed?

First let me begin with a caveat that I don't know the exact meaning, and I will only offer my own reasoning as to what it possibly could mean using my own logic. It seems to mean that the word should be related to (be cousin to) the deed and you should choose your words with care and only say that which you are willing to back up with action. If you promise to do something you should follow through like you are giving birth to offspring ( see how there is a similiarity between cousin and child?) Again remember I am only trying to reason it out with my own reasoning as to what it might mean. I hope this was helpful.
