Famous quotes containing the words acts and/or deeds:
“I can’t forgive my friends for dying; I don’t find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
“Though it is possible to utter words only with the intention to fulfill the will of God, it is very difficult not to think about the impression which they will produce on men and not to form them accordingly. But deeds you can do quite unknown to men, only for God. And such deeds are the greatest joy that a man can experience.”
—Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)
