Acts Quotes (page 60)

...there occurred to me the simple epitaph which, when I am no more, I intend to have inscribed on my tombstone. It was this:"He was a man who acted from the best motives. There is one born every minute. P. G. Wodehouse
There are conditions under which the most majestic person is obliged to sneeze, and our emotions are liable to be acted on in the same incongruous manner. George Eliot
A voluntary act to fill empty hours had become intensive labor streaked with the bad feelings that ride the skin like pollen when too much about one's neighbors is known. Toni Morrison
When every card in the deck is stacked against you, the only way to win a hand is to break the rules. You beg, borrow, and steal, as the old adage goes, and if you happen to get caught in the act, at least youve gone down fighting the good fight. Paul Auster
All rational action is in the first place individual action. Only the individual thinks. Only the individual reasons. Only the individual acts. Ludwig von Mises
Ashley Judd quote: "My vocation is to make my life an act of worship"
My vocation is to make my life an act of worship Ashley Judd
But an Adrian also knew that an Adrian's lies were real: they were lived and felt and acted out as thoroughly as another man's truths - if other men had truths - and he believed it possible that this last lie might see him through to the grave. Stephen Fry
It's amazing how lies grow. You start with a small one that seems easy to cover, then you get boxed in and tell another one. Then another. People believe you at first, then they act upon your lies, and you catch yourself wishing you'd simply told the truth. John Grisham
Dreaming is not only an act of communication; it is also an aesthetic activity, a game of the imagination, a game that is a value in itself. Our dreams prove that to imagine - to dream about things that have not happened - is among mankind’s deepest needs. Herein lies the danger. If dreams were beautiful, they would quickly be forgotten. Milan Kundera
George Sand quote: "The most honest of men is the one who thinks and acts best,..."
The most honest of men is the one who thinks and acts best, but the most powerful is the one who writes and speaks best. George Sand
being able to act intelligently and instinctively in the moment is possible only after a long and rigorous of education and experience Malcolm Gladwell
The failures are not due to any injustice, but to an inner defect. It is always caused by the person himself. Yes, I know, you think you are doing an act of justice. But they will only suck you dry, wear out your energy, nourish themselves on your ideas. After being the most compassionate man in the world, I say to you today: Let the weak ones die, let them commit suicide. Anais Nin
Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck the living flower. The criticism of religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has discarded his illusions and regained his senses, so that he will move around himself as his own true Sun. Religion is only the illusory Sun which revolves around man... Karl Marx
My father had been disgusted and heartsick over the fact that I wanted to act. Thought it a silly profession closely allied to street-walking. Katharine Hepburn
I've since discovered that many human beings need no supernatural mentoring to commit acts of savagery; some people are devils in their own right, their telltale horns having grown inward to facilitate their disguise. Dean Koontz
