Bebel Gilberto - Acting Pursuits

Famous quotes containing the words acting and/or pursuits:

“I would rather miss the mark acting well than win the day acting basely.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

“In short, I am convinced, both by faith and experience, that to maintain one’s self on this earth is not a hardship but a pastime, if we will live simply and wisely; as the pursuits of the simpler nations are still the sports of the more artificial. It is not necessary that a man should earn his living by the sweat of his brow, unless he sweats easier than I do.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
