Civil Action

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or action:

“When civil fury first grew high,
And men fell out, they knew not why;
When hard words, jealousies, and fears,
Set folks together by the ears,
And made them fight, like mad or drunk,
For Dame Religion, as for punk;”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

“An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.”
