Forces Act

Famous quotes containing the words forces and/or act:

“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“The important thing is that when you come to understand something you act on it, no matter how small that act is. Eventually it will take you where you need to go.”
—Helen Prejean (b. 1940)
