Famous quotes containing the word actions:
“I judge a man by his actions with men, much more than by his declarations GodwardsWhen I find him to be envious, carping, spiteful, hating the successes of others, and complaining that the world has never done enough for him, I am apt to doubt whether his humility before God will atone for his want of manliness.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
“I also believe that few people remain completely untouched by the thought that instead of the life they lead there might also be another, where all actions proceed from a very personal state of excitement. Where actions have meanings, not just causes. And where a person, to use a trivial word, is happy, and not just nervously tormenting himself.”
—Robert Musil (18801942)
“Our pride and self-importance are European, while our development and actions are Asiatic.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
