Actions

Famous quotes containing the word actions:

“From a purely external point of view there is no will; and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy; we observe a man’s actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position; or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

“Men’s actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“As soon as we exceed average human goodness by even a single step, our actions arouse suspicion. Virtue stands steadily “in the middle.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
