Deeds

Famous quotes containing the word deeds:

“A lady with whom I was riding in the forest said to me that the woods always seemed to her to wait, as if the genii who inhabit them suspend their deeds until the wayfarer had passed onward; a thought which poetry has celebrated in the dance of the fairies, which breaks off on the approach of human feet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“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)

“Many deeds are done so as to forget another deed: there are also opiate activities. I exist so that another will be forgotten.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
