Decir y hacer son dos cosas, la segunda es la dificultosa

[Jman]

Can someone please help me with the translation and meaning of following saying "Decir y hacer son dos casas, la segunda es la dificultosa."

Gracias.

To say [something] and to do [something] are two [different] things, the second one [to do things] is the difficult one.

(By the way, it is "cosas" not "casas", "casas" = "houses" "cosas" = "things".)

I.e., one thing is to talk about doing something, and another is to actually do it, which is the difficult part. :)

I agree. Although I would use "difícil" instead of "dificultosa"

Look here (http://www.tomisimo.org/idioms/en/easier-said-than-done-180.html) and below for other ways to say this.

Decir y hacer son dos cosas distintas.
Hablar es fácil, hacer difícil.
Más fácil el dicho que el hecho.

Claro. También está el " Del dicho al hecho hay mucho trecho"

En Chile lo cambiamos a "Del dicho al lecho *pudiera* haber mucho o poco trecho" ;)
