Famous quotes containing the word actions:

    If you are of the opinion that the contemplation of suicide is sufficient evidence of a poetic nature, do not forget that actions speak louder than words.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

    Your toddler is no longer a baby feeling himself as part of you, using you as his controller, facilitator, his mirror for himself and the world. But he is not yet a child either; ready to see you as a person in your own right and to take responsibility for himself and his own actions in relation to you.
    Penelope Leach (20th century)

    Our pride and self-importance are European, while our development and actions are Asiatic.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
