Deeds

Famous quotes containing the word deeds:

“My sweetest Lesbia let us live and love,
And though the sager sort our deeds reprove,
Let us not weigh them: Heav’n’s great lamps do dive
Into their west, and straight again revive,
But soon as once set is our little light,
Then must we sleep one ever-during night.”
—Catullus [Gaius Valerius Catullus] (84–54 B.C.)

“Good deeds are no less good because their object is unworthy.”
—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)
