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)

“My master is of churlish disposition,
And little recks to find the way to heaven
By doing deeds of hospitality.”
—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)
