Bare Action

Famous quotes containing the words bare and/or action:

    Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
    In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
    An ancestor was rector there
    Long years ago, a church stands near,
    By the road an ancient cross.
    No marble, no conventional phrase;
    On limestone quarried near the spot
    By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman pass by!
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.
    Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
