Actions Performed

Famous quotes containing the words actions and/or performed:

“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

“We are responsible for actions performed in response to circumstances for which we are not responsible.”
—Allan Massie (b. 1938)
