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)

    “Talk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether.”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
