Famous quotes containing the word acts:
“Whoso will seeken acts of sundry realms
May read of dreames many a wonder thing.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“The ultimate end of human acts is eudaimonia, happiness in the sense of “living well,” which all men desire; all acts are but different means chosen to arrive at it.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Every community is an association of some kind and every community is established with a view to some good; for everyone always acts in order to obtain that which they think good. But, if all communities aim at some good, the state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
