Famous quotes containing the word actions:
“It has lately been drawn to your correspondents attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be.

It would appear, from the actions of the assembled guests, that she is about as hot company as a night nurse.”
—Dorothy Parker (18931967)
“But they who are unconcerned about the consequences of their actions are not therefore unconcerned about their actions.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The first step towards vice is to shroud innocent actions in mystery, and whoever likes to conceal something sooner or later has reason to conceal it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (17121778)
