Bare Action

Famous quotes containing the words bare and/or action:

    For who would bare the whips and scorns of time,
    Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
    The pangs of disprized love, the law’s delay,
    The insolence of office, and the spurns
    That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
    When he himself might his quietus make
    With a bare bodkin?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
