Deeds

Famous quotes containing the word deeds:

    ‘Tis a lucky day, boy, and we’ll do good deeds on’t.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
    Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)

    Letter-writing too often degenerates into a communicating of facts, and not of truths; of other men’s deeds and not our thoughts. What are the convulsions of a planet, compared with the emotions of the soul? or the rising of a thousand suns, if that is not enlightened by a ray?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
