I think people feel a kind of need for punishment when they can no longer accept their own actions.
I myself must mix with action, lest I wither by despair.
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
He who is mistaken in an action which he sincerely believes to be right may be an enemy, but retains our esteem.[Celui qui se trompe dans une intention qu’il croit bonne, on peut le combattre, on ne cesse pas de l’estimer.]
Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions.
Go and find out.[Mr. Kipling]
Every action needs to be prompted by a motive.[Ogni attione bisognia che s’esercita per moto.]
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the action stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
Do not wait. The time will never be “just right.”
Desperate ills need desperate remedies.
Because one’s actions hurt other people, it doesn’t prove that they are wrong.[Если твой поступок огорчает кого-нибудь, то это еще не значит, что он дурен.]
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man’s actions.
