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)

“How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds
Makes deeds ill done!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

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