Famous quotes containing the word actions:

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.”

“The first step towards vice is to shroud innocent actions in mystery, and whoever likes to conceal something sooner or later has reason to conceal it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
