All men are alike in their words; their actions only show them to be different.[Tous les hommes sont semblables par les paroles; et ce n’est que les actions, qui les découvrent differens.]
Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless…
Action is more generally understood than words.
Action is eloquence.
Action is character.
Act only in accordance with that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it become a universal law.[Handle so, als ob deine Maxime zugleich zum allgemeinen gesetze (aller vernünftigen Wesen) dienen sollte.]
A thousand words leave not the same deep print as does a single deed.[Ikke tusend ord sig prenter, som én gernings spor.]
A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.
A man cannot get rid of the responsibility, for his own actions.[Человек не может снять с себя ответственности за свои поступки.]
A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving.
