John Fletcher quote: "Deed, not words shall speak me."
Deed, not words shall speak me. John Fletcher
Tell me,' asked Stas, 'what is a wicked deed?' 'If anyone takes away Kali's cow,' he answered after a brief reflection, 'that then is a wicked deed.' 'Excellent!' exclaimed Stas, 'and what is a good one?' This time the answer came without any reflection: 'If Kali takes away the cow of somebody else, that is a good deed.' Stas was too young to perceive that similar views of evil and good deeds were enunciated in Europe not only by politicians but by whole nations. Henryk Sienkiewicz
Back in my day, we had it all set up. You lined up when you died, and you'd answer for your evil deeds and your good deeds, and if your evil deeds outweighed a feather, we'd feed your soul and your heart to Ammet, the Eater of Souls"He must have eaten a lot of people."Not as many as you'd think. It was a really heavy feather. We had it made special. You had better be pretty damn evil to tip the scales on that baby... Neil Gaiman
Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time. John Locke
For the less even as for the greater there is some deed that he may accomplish but once only; and in that deed his heart shall rest. J. R. R. Tolkien
If you strike us down now we shall rise again and renew the fight. You cannot conquer Ireland; you cannot extinguish the Irish passion for freedom. If our deed has not been sufficient to win freedom then our children will win it by a better deed. Padraic Pearse
Such as thy words are such will thine affections be esteemed and such as thine affections will be thy deeds and such as thy deeds will be thy life ... Socrates
William Shakespeare quote: "People’s good deeds we write in water. The evil deeds are..."
People’s good deeds we write in water. The evil deeds are etched in brass. William Shakespeare
A good deed, "said the prophet Mohammed, "is one that brings a smile of joy to the face of another." Why will doing a good deed every day produce such astounding efforts on the doer? Because trying to please others will cause us to stop thinking of ourselves: the very thing that produces worry and fear and melancholia. Dale Carnegie
William Shakespeare quote: "Hot blood begets hot thoughts, And hot thoughts beget Hot..."
Hot blood begets hot thoughts, And hot thoughts beget Hot deeds, And hot deeds is love. William Shakespeare
Elie Wiesel quote: "I am much more afraid of my good deeds that please me than of..."
I am much more afraid of my good deeds that please me than of my bad deeds that repel me. Elie Wiesel
Yes, suddenly I saw it clearly: most people deceive themselves with a pair of faiths: they believe in eternal memory (of people, things, deeds, nations) and in redressibility (of deeds, mistakes, sins, wrongs). Both are false faiths. In reality the opposite is true: everything will be forgotten and nothing will be redressed. The task of obtaining redress (by vengeance or by forgiveness) will be taken over by forgetting. No one will redress the wrongs that have been done, but all wrongs will... Milan Kundera
