Famous quotes containing the word actions:
“We should often be ashamed of our finest actions if the world understood all the motives behind them.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–80)
“One will seldom go wrong in attributing extreme actions to vanity, moderate ones to habit, and petty ones to fear.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“We cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals. He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
