Action Mode

Famous quotes containing the words action and/or mode:

    We are oft to blame in this,
    ‘Tis too much proved, that with devotion’s visage
    And pious action we do sugar o’er
    The devil himself.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
