Deeds

Famous quotes containing the word deeds:

    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)

    All are architects of Fate,
    Working in these walls of Time;
    Some with massive deeds and great,
    Some with ornaments of rhyme.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    He reads much,
    He is a great observer, and he looks
    Quite through the deeds of men.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
