Bare Action

Famous quotes containing the words bare and/or action:

“If intellection and knowledge were mere passion from without, or the bare reception of extraneous and adventitious forms, then no reason could be given at all why a mirror or looking-glass should not understand; whereas it cannot so much as sensibly perceive those images which it receives and reflects to us.”
—Ralph J. Cudworth (1617–1688)

“When action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep.”
