Deeds Quotes
-
The summer's flow'r is to the summer sweet,
Though to itself it only live and die'
But if that flow'r with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
William Shakespeare
-
For a deed to be totally pure, it must be done without any thought of reward, whether worldly or divine.
Bill Vaughan
-
Initial reports are encouraging. In the end of the day, it's going to be deeds, not words, that matter.
Stephen Hadley
-
Only those who are alive can bring life to others. The spiritually dead are unable to generate life, because there is no life in them. They cannot be a testimony to others by their deeds. They are simply dead. Whoever does not live in repentance belongs to the spiritually dead, who cannot bring anyone to life. But the penitent are full of life, divine life; and they can bring others to life. Whenever someone repents, he scarcely needs to say a word. He doesn't need to preach at others.
Rather, when he lies prostrate before God and man and confesses with a broken and contrite heart, "I have sinned; I am guilty," his words have the power of life. They can open the hardest hearts and bring to life the spiritually dead.
Basilea Schlink
-
I count this thing to be grandly true: That a noble deed is a step toward God.
Bill Vaughan
-
Such as thy words are, such will thy affections be esteemed; and such will thy deeds be as thy affections and such thy life as thy deeds.
Socrates
-
Holy words and pure and goodly deeds ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory.
Bahá'u'lláh
-
Stern fate and time Will have their victims; and the best die first, Leaving the bad still strong, though past their prime, To curse the hopeless world they ever curs'd Vaunting vile deeds, and vainest of the worst.
Ebenezer Elliott
-
Men pass away, but their deeds abide.
Augustin-Louis Cauchy
-
Our good and bad deeds follow us almost like a shadow.
Gautama Buddha
-
I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why would the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?
Og Mandino
-
Good deeds shun the light as anxiously as evil deeds: the latter fear that disclosure will bring on pain (as punishment), while the former fear that disclosure will take away pleasure (that pure pleasure, that pleasure per se, which immediately ceases once the vanity's satisfaction is added).
Friedrich Nietzsche
