Deeds Quotes - page 23
Outward simplicity befits ordinary men, like a garment made to measure for them; but it serves as an adornment to those who have filled their lives with great deeds.
Jean de La Bruyère
Outward simplicity befits ordinary men, like a garment made to measure for them; but it serves as an adornment to those who have filled their lives with great deeds: they might be compared to some beauty carelessly dressed and thereby all the more attractive.
Jean de La Bruyère
People do evil things because they are evil. Some people are evil in the way that some things are coloured indigo. They commit their evil deeds not to achieve some goal, but just because of the sort of people they are.
Terry Eagleton
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
Philip James Bailey
Success in crime always invites to worse deeds.
Edward Coke
Look to what you have around you and be grateful, instead of searching for more. All you take with you when you leave this world is love, friendship, and good deeds.
Sylvia Browne
We are our own fates.- Our deeds are our own doomsmen.- Man's life was made not for creeds but actions.
Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton
Another effect of the continual appearance of false and biased statement and the absorption of the lie atmosphere is that deeds of real valour, heroism, and physical endurance and genuine cases of inevitable torture and suffering are contaminated and desecrated; the wonderful comradeship of the battlefield becomes almost polluted. Lying tongues cannot speak of deeds of sacrifice to show their beauty or value.
Arthur Ponsonby
Food prices are often kept artificially high. The result is that the Millennium Development Goals set out by the United Nations at the start of the new millennium are not being reached. Fine words have not yet been turned into deeds.
Jonathan Sacks
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly.
Theodore Roosevelt
When the mind once allows a doubt to gain entrance, the value of deeds performed grow less, their character changes, we forget the past and dread the future.
Jules Verne
Who will co-ordinate these value scales, and how? Who will create for mankind one system of interpretation, valid for good and evil deeds, for the unbearable and the bearable, as they are differentiated today? Who will make clear to mankind what is really heavy and intolerable and what only grazes the skin locally? Who will direct the anger to that which is most terrible and not to that which is nearer?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.
Albert Camus
I know that man is capable of great deeds. But if he isn't capable of great emotion, well, he leaves me cold.
Albert Camus
If a man's deeds do not outlive him, of what value is a mark in stone?
Sean Russell
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.
Daniel Goleman
A life spent worthily should be measured by a nobler line,by deeds, not years.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan
We don't ask for words. We ask for deeds. We don't ask for paternalism. We ask for servanthood.
Cesar Chavez
O, our feeble tests of greatness! Look for one so calm of soul As to take the even chalice of his life and drink the whole. Noble deeds are held in honor, but the wide world sorely needs Hearts of patience to unravel this, - the worth of common deeds.
Edmund Clarence Stedman
Men's thoughts, are much according to their inclination; their discourse and speeches, according to their learning and infused opinions; but their deeds, are after as they have been accustomed.
Francis Bacon
Members will hear me say repeatedly words are important; deeds are a reality.
Jon Corzine
Words without deeds is an affront to the principle that guides our Nation and makes a mockery of the values we as public servants claim to love.
Jon Corzine
