Acts Quotes
-
Goodness is weakness, pleasantness is poisonous, serenity is mediocrity and kindness is for losers. The best reason for committing loathsome and detestable acts – and let’s face it, I am considered something of an expert in this field – is purely for their own sake. Monetary gain is all very well, but it dilutes the taste of wickedness to a lower level that is obtainable by almost anyone with an overdeveloped sense of avarice. True and baseless evil is as rare as the purest good.
Jasper Fforde
-
Immediate are the acts of God, more swift than time or motion.
John Milton
-
The cell never acts; it reacts.
Ernst Haeckel
-
When virtuous mental attitudes, like mindfulness, respect, and compassion, are invoked to justify nonvirtuous acts like hunting, fishing, and eating animal products, the mental attitudes are insincere. They are self-deceptions that we create to justify habits that in our hearts we know are wrong, but to which we have become attached.
Norm Phelps

In life, it is never the big battle, the big moment, the big speech, the big election. That does not change things. What changes things is every day, getting up and rendering small acts of service and love beyond that what's expected of you or required of you.
Cory Booker

If you can put the question, 'Am I or am I not responsible for my acts?' then you are responsible.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
-
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
-
Ahimsa must express itself through acts of selfless service of the masses.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
Mahatma Gandhi

Metamorphosis is the most profound of all acts.
Catherynne M. Valente
-
It's disheartening that animal people criticize societies that enlist the help of actors or organize creative acts like 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur,' to increase public awareness to our cause. These are great/courageous ideas which time has come! Liberation of animals is REVOLUTION - not elegant performance/ intellectual competition. We should do most anything to advance the animal rights cause. All the bickering may make the one step forward... TWO STEPS BACKWARD???
Adela Popescu
-
I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices - it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath - someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts.
Heath Ledger
-
Even in the most bold and daring acts, courage is a matter of the heart.
Catherine Martin

The strength of a man's virtue should not be measured by his special exertions, but by his habitual acts.

No man can afford to express, through words or acts, that which is not in harmony with his own beliefs, and if he does so, he must pay by the loss of his ability to influence others.
Napoleon Hill
-
To be foolish is human, but the capacity to choose between acts leading to folly or to wisdom is a uniquely human gift.
Alan Briskin
