"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." Luke 6:45 (NIV)
In The Sermon on the Mount as recorded by Luke, Jesus taught His disciples and the crowd of people that had gathered around them that whatever is within a man's heart is what will come out of his mouth, be that good or evil.
If we listen long enough to what people say, they will generally tell us what they really think and feel. We know that people can lie and intentionally deceive others with their words. However, if we let them talk long enough, the will reveal their true colors. Which is a good reason to observe their behavior to see if their actions are consistent with their words.
