Actions

Famous quotes containing the word actions:

“However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“When our actions do not,
Our fears do make us traitors.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Throughout my life, I have seen narrow-shouldered men, without a single exception, committing innumerable stupid acts, brutalizing their fellows and perverting souls by all means. They call the motive for their actions fame.”
—Isidore Ducasse, Comte de Lautréamont (1846–1870)
