Bare Action

Famous quotes containing the words bare and/or action:

    “Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man’s smudge and shares man’s smell: the soil
    Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “Let the will embrace the highest ideals freely and with infinite strength, but let action first take hold of what lies closest.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
