Help please

[Allanon]

I don´t know if this should be a thread but I dessperatly need some help.
does anybody recognise this quote.

"Its not what you do that matters. It´s what you don´t do that does."

[Jacoby]

I don't recognize what the quote is from, but it's the truth. For example, if you don't buy your lovah a present for some special occasion because they said they don't want one... you lose.

What do you need help with? Where the quote is from?

[Allanon]

yeah this quote just came up in my memory and me and my friends can´t recognise it, and I just hate that so then I came to you guys for aid.

So if someone recognise it please help me out.

f*cking hell... I do remember it from something, just don't know from what! :(

The closest thing I can find is from Thoreau.
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."

[Allanon]

This is driving me mad someone must know where it´s from.

I can´t imagine me coming up with this all by my self.
I beg you please help if you know it tell me.
