I answered that one learns to live, not by hearing of other lives, but by living for words are infinitely less important than acts.
Alexander Sutherland Neill
Image
Man's life is entirely in his operations, which may all be classed under three heads: he thinks, he feels, and he acts -- these three modes of activity exhaust his powers.
William Batchelder Greene
Image
Much of our love is confined to mere lip service and dreams of good deeds accomplished, but true love must be expressed in unselfish acts of kindness that bring others closer to our Heavenly Father.
Jack H. Goaslind
Image
He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
William Blake
Image
God only acts and is, in existing beings or men.
William Blake
Image
Our own acts are isolated and one act does not buy absolution for another.
William Butler Yeats
Image
I think each thing in a way acts as a stepping - stone for whatever the next thing is.
Alex Turner
Image
I believe in God. In fact, I believe in a personal God who acts in and interacts with the creation. I believe that the observations about the orderliness of the physical universe, and the apparently exceptional fine-tuning of the conditions of the universe for the development of life suggest that an intelligent Creator is responsible.
William Daniel Phillips
Image
It is not by great acts but by small failures that freedom dies. . . . Justice and liberty die quietly, because men first learn to ignore injustice and then no longer recognize it.
Charles Morgan, Jr.
Image
Acts of terror have never brought down liberal democracies. Acts of parliament have closed a few.
William Eldridge Odom
Image
Every man is responsible only for his own acts. The sons do not inherit the sins of the fathers. But can we say: that was long ago, they were different?
Aleksander Kwasniewski
Image
Great thoughts reduced to practice become great acts.
William Hazlitt
Image
Man is so intelligent that he feels impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Pride erects a little kingdom of its own, and acts as sovereign in it.
William Hazlitt
Image
No Romeo-and-Juliet acts, no nonsense about Love with a large L, none of that popular song claptrap with its skies of blue, dreams come true, heaven with you. Just sensuality for its own sake.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither god nor poet one need only own a shovel.
Aldo Leopold
Image
Life's great moments evolve from simples acts of cooperation with God's mysterious promptings.
Bill Hybels
Image
Religion . . . shall mean for us the feelings, acts and experiences of individual men in their solitude.
William James
Image
Our acts of voluntary attending, as brief and fitful as they are, are nevertheless momentous and critical, determining us, as they do, to higher or lower destinies.
William James
Image
But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.
Albert Einstein
Image
Discrepancy between theory and practice, which in sound physical and mechanical science is a delusion, has a real existence in the minds of men and that fallacy, through rejected by their judgments, continues to exert and influence over their acts.
William John Macquorn Rankine
Image
In learning to pay respectful attention to one another and plants and animals, we relearn the acts of empathy, and thus humility and compassion - ways of proceeding that grow more and more necessary as the world crowds in.
William Kittredge
Image
The merit of persons is to be no rule of our charity, but we are to do acts of kindness to those that least deserve it.
William Law
Image
Human rebellion ends in metaphysical revolution. It progresses from appearances to acts, from the dandy to the revolutionary.
