Deeds

Famous quotes containing the word deeds:

“You are by nature much better at advising others than yourself. I draw my proof from deeds not words.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

“Towards him they bend
With awful reverence prone; and as a God
Extoll him equal to the highest in Heav’n:
Nor fail’d they to express how much they prais’d,
That for the general safety he despis’d
His own: for neither do the Spirits damn’d
Loose all thir vertue; lest bad men should boast
Thir specious deeds on earth, which glory excites,
Or close ambition varnisht o’er with zeal.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“Thoughts can be revised. Deeds cannot.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
