Famous quotes containing the word acted:
“I can only say that I have acted upon my best convictions without selfishness or malice, and that by the help of God, I shall continue to do so.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“In a pure society, the subject of marriage would not be so often avoided,—from shame and not from reverence, winked out of sight, and hinted at only; but treated naturally and simply,—perhaps simply avoided like the kindred mysteries. If it cannot be spoken of for shame, how can it be acted of? But, doubtless, there is far more purity, as well as more impurity, than is apparent.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No woman ever yet either reasoned or acted long together consequentially; but some little thing, some love, some resentment, some present momentary interest, some supposed slight, or some humour, always breaks in upon, and oversets their most prudent resolutions and schemes.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
