Famous quotes containing the words acts and/or intending:
“Those who are esteemed umpires of taste, are often persons who have acquired some knowledge of admired pictures or sculptures, and have an inclination for whatever is elegant; but if you inquire whether they are beautiful souls, and whether their own acts are like fair pictures, you learn that they are selfish and sensual. Their cultivation is local, as if you should rub a log of dry wood in one spot to produce fire, all the rest remaining cold.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete it?”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 14:28.
