Sign Action

Famous quotes containing the words sign and/or action:

“No, no; but as in my idolatry
I said to all my profane mistresses,
Beauty, of pity, foulness only is
A sign of rigour: so I say to thee,
To wicked spirits are horrid shapes assign’d,
This beauteous form assures a piteous mind.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)

“The curse of me & my nation is that we always think things can be bettered by immediate action of some sort, any sort rather than no sort.”
