Actions

Famous quotes containing the word actions:

    One will seldom go wrong in attributing extreme actions to vanity, moderate ones to habit, and petty ones to fear.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Only the actions of the just
    Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.
    James Shirley (1596–1666)

    I judge a man by his actions with men, much more than by his declarations Godwards—When I find him to be envious, carping, spiteful, hating the successes of others, and complaining that the world has never done enough for him, I am apt to doubt whether his humility before God will atone for his want of manliness.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
