In the question: It is easier to assure or plan than to fulfill (the meaning varies).

("What shall we do with the word (Tehillim 33) and with the spirit in his mouth all their host? ... And the end of his knowledge is not revealed to us, for one may ask what is the taste of the word. And some say that the angels hear. And others say that they hear the sound of his word... And Rabbi Yehuda the Levite, may he rest in peace, said that the taste is without delay and without end and without time. And the word of the Torah is like the tongue of the sons of men, because the word It will be easier than the deed. And I have revealed to you the truth in detail" - Ibn Ezra, at the beginning of another chapter - Parush, chapter 1)
