Acts of the devil revealed and reveled, designed to recline the mind to lower level.
Kool Moe Dee
Image
Acts themselves alone are history, and these are neither the exclusive property of Hume, Gibbon nor Voltaire, Echard, Rapin, Plutarch, nor Herodotus. Tell me the Acts, O historian, and leave me to reason upon them as I please away with your reasoning and your rubbish. All that is not action is not worth reading.
William Blake
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. By virtue of this curious loophole in the rules, any clodhopper may say: Let there be a tree - and there will be one.
Aldo Leopold
Image
Acts that proceed from your calm center are always more effective than acts that proceed from fear, guilt, or anger.
Alan Cohen
Image
Acts are right in virtue of the goodness of their consequences.
Dale Jamieson
Image
Acts of bravery don't always take place on battlefields. They can take place in your heart, when you have the courage to honor your character, your intellect, your inclinations, and yes, your soul by listening to its clean, clear voice of direction instead of following the muddied messages of a timid world.
Anna Quindlen
Image
Acts have their being in the witness. Without him who can speak of it? In the end one could even say that the act is nothing, the witness all.
Cormac McCarthy
Image
Acts of violence-- Whether on a large or a small scale, the bitter paradox: the meaningfulness of death--and the meaninglessness of killing.
Dag Hammarskjold
Image
Acts of virtue ripen into habits and the goodly and permanent result is the formation or establishment of a virtuous character.
Thomas Chalmers
Image
Acts of terror have never brought down liberal democracies. Acts of parliament have closed a few.
William Eldridge Odom
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
Acts which are essentially dishonourable must not be done they would be justified only by calm contemplation of their correctness in abstract cases.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Acts of sacrifice and decency without regard to what's in it for you create a ripple effect. Ones that lift up families and communities, that spread opportunity.
Barack Obama
Image
Acts of injustice done Between the setting and the rising sun In history lie like bones, each one.
W. H. Auden
Image
See the Congress' track record. It has taken the nation backwards. They keep talking about Rights. The Nation is tired of your Acts, the Nation needs action.
Narendra Modi
Image
When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel.
Harold S. Kushner
Image
"Few things are sadder than encountering a person who knows exactly what he should do, yet cannot muster enough energy to do it. ""He who desires but acts not,"" wrote Blake with his accustomed vigor, ""Breeds pestilence."
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Image
Market values are fixed only in part by balance sheets and income statements much more by the hopes and fears of humanity by greed, ambition, acts of God, invention, financial stress and strain, weather, discovery, fashion and numberless other causes impossible to be listed without omission.
Gerald M. Loeb
Image
To adopt the posture of the hero is the most unheroic of all acts.
Dorothy Norman
Image
Maybe I'm like acts of Congress or your favorite Chinese restaurant - you don't really want to know what's going on behind the door. I'm a real study in contrast, I expect, looking from without. But it adds up to what you get on stage.
David Lee Roth
Image
Angels live no place, as God lives no place. They live in the space of eternity, in the center of our hearts, and sometimes I think we each serve as the channels and angels of God, touched by wings of silence, pushed to angelic acts.
Sophy Burnham
Image
The vicious count their years virtuous, their acts.
Samuel Johnson
Image
Our small acts of faith and service are how most of us can continue in God and eventually bring eternal light and glory to our family, our friends, and our associates.
Neill F. Marriott
Image
Forcing people to be generous isn't humanitarian, effective, compassionate or moral. Only acts that are truly voluntary for all concerned can be truly compassionate.
Harry Browne
