Answer:
the phrase words are but winds compares the nature of words to that of wind. It keeps flowing and is not permanent. Once gone, it cannot be brought back.
similarly it proves that words cannot be trusted due to its fickle nature or impermanence. It is very likely that one may break their word.
this phrase was used by sir william Shakespeare in comedy of errors.
it encourages one to instead focus on actions and other things that one can see.
the continuation of the phrase then says instead of trusting words, which may get blown away easily like the wind, one should see for themselves and then believe.
