Deeds Quotes (page 7)

Lao Tzu quote: "(Its) admirable words can purchase honour; (its) admirable..."
(Its) admirable words can purchase honour; (its) admirable deeds can raise their performer above others. Lao Tzu
Rider to your mate be true. Follow heart in deed and do. All the best your strength can find. So you will rest in heart and mind Anne McCaffrey
Henrik Ibsen quote: "Happiness is worth a daring deed; we are both free if we but..."
Happiness is worth a daring deed; we are both free if we but will it, and then the game is won. Henrik Ibsen
My men think you are dead now, and won’t waste balls on you,” Jack said. “In fact I have let you live, but for one purpose only: so that you can make your way back to Paris and tell them the following: that the deed you are about to witness was done for a woman, whose name I will not say, for she knows who she is; and that it was done by ‘Half-Cocked’ Jack Shaftoe, L’Emmerdeur, the King of the Vagabonds, Ali Zaybak: Quicksilver! Neal Stephenson
Her Triumph. I did the dragon's will until you came. Because I had fancied love a casual. Improvisation, or a settled game. That followed if I let the kerchief fall: Those deeds were best that gave the minute wings. And heavenly music if they gave it wit; And then you stood among the dragon-rings. I mocked, being crazy, but you mastered it. And broke the chain and set my ankles free, Saint George or else a pagan Perseus; And now we stare astonished at the sea, And a miraculous strange bird... William Butler Yeats
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "In the East, fames are won. In the west, deeds are done."
In the East, fames are won. In the west, deeds are done. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have a different idea of elegance. I don't dress like a fop, it's true, but my moral grooming is impeccable. I never appear in public with a soiled conscience, a tarnished honor, threadbare scruples, or an insult that I haven't washed away. I'm always immaculately clean, adorned with independence and frankness. I may not cut a stylish figure, but I hold my soul erect. I wear my deeds as ribbons, my wit is sharper then the finest mustache, and when I walk among men I make truths ring like... Edmond Rostand
But what then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared? For there to be equivalence, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life. Albert Camus
If God rewards us on earth for good deeds—the Old Testament suggests it’s so, and the Puritans certainly believed it—then maybe Satan rewards us for evil ones. Stephen King
An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated. Madalyn Murray O'Hair
L. Frank Baum quote: "thanks for good deeds do not amount to much except to prove..."
...thanks for good deeds do not amount to much except to prove one's politeness. L. Frank Baum
Pythagoras quote: "Practice justice in word and deed, and do not get in the habit..."
Practice justice in word and deed, and do not get in the habit of acting thoughtlessly about anything. Pythagoras
Albert Camus quote: "In any case, the one man paved the way for the deeds of the..."
In any case, the one man paved the way for the deeds of the other, in a sense foreshadowed and even legitimized by them. Albert Camus
I do not know the man I should avoid So soon as that spare Cassius. He reads much, He is a great observer, and he looks Quite through the deeds of men. He loves no plays As thou dost, Anthony; he heard no music; Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort As if he mocked himself and scorned his spirit That could be moved to smile at anything. Such men as he be never at heart's ease Whiles they behold a greater than themselves, And therefore are they very dangerous. William Shakespeare
The malady of civilized man is his knowledge of death. The good artist, like the wise man, addresses himself to life and invests with his private vision the deeds and thoughts of men. The creation of a work of art, like an act of love, is our one small yes at the center of a vast no. Gore Vidal
