Action

Famous quotes containing the word action:

—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

“The curse of me & my nation is that we always think things can be bettered by immediate action of some sort, any sort rather than no sort.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.”
