Famous quotes containing the word deeds:

    Little deeds of kindness,
    Little words of love,
    Make our earth an Eden,
    Like the heaven above.
    Julia A. Fletcher Carney (1823–1908)

    Blessing turned to blasphemies,
    Holy deeds to despites.

    Sin is where our Lady sat,
    Heaven turned is to hell,
    Sathan sits where our Lord did sway,
    Walsingham, Oh farewell!
    —Unknown. A Lament for the Priory of Walsingham (l. 39–44)

    Nothing is more contagious than example, and no man does any exceeding good or exceeding ill but it spawns new deeds of the same kind. The good we imitate through emulation, the ill through the malignity of our nature, which shame keeps locked up, but example sets free.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
