Famous quotes containing the words libel and/or action:
“Nor do they trust their tongue alone,
But speak a language of their own;
Can read a nod, a shrug, a look,
Far better than a printed book;
Convey a libel in a frown,
And wink a reputation down.”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
“Rash actions are seldom committed in isolation. With the first rash action we always do too much. So we usually go on to commit a second oneand then we do too little.”
