Don't tell me the moon is shining, show me the glint of light on broken glass.-Anton Chekhov
My opinion:
I
understand this expression this way: you should show some real evidence
of your words. It shouldn't be just talking. Sometimes people try to pursuade us that some kind of idea is good. And their speeches can be very beautiful
and encouraging. But before we'll get involved in that we need to ask
for a little demonstration of the idea. We need to be sure that behind
those beautiful words the real deal exists. Of course in the beginning
it can be just a small example how the idea works. It just needs to
show us that this is true. I have a comedy movie called 'Bluff' in my
mind ,as an
example. The main characters of that movie are crooks. These two guys
bought some land along the marsh with frogs. And they declared that
under this marsh there is a grave of great knight Zigfread. And his
grave is full of hidden treasures. They organised excavations on this
area and offered one lady to buy this land. And to prove their
words they rented some gold coins and some armors from the museum. The
words about the grave full of jewelry is a shining moon. And these gold
coins are the way to urge that the legend is true. It's a glint of
light. But of course it's a bluff. So the moral is you need to get evidence and check it and don't be naive.
