Actions

Famous quotes containing the word actions:

“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 (1880–1942)

“When our actions do not,
Our fears do make us traitors.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“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)
