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.”

Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.”

“Piety practised in solitude, like the flower that blooms in the desert, may give its fragrance to the winds of heaven, and delight those unbodied spirits that survey the works of God and the actions of men; but it bestows no assistance upon earthly beings, and however free from taints of impurity, yet wants the sacred splendour of beneficence.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
