“When/After all is said and done, more is said than done” has been credited to football coach Lou Holtz (born 1937), but the expression was known before he was born. The saying is often applied to Congress or a state legislature or a city council, when much is said and little is done.
   
“The more that’s said and done…the more is said than done” is cited in print since at least 1922. In 1924, the expression was applied to the federal government in Washington: “After all is said and done the trouble in Washington right now is more is being said than done.”
