DEEDS

Beecher, Henry Ward
No matter what a man's aims, or resolutions, or professions may be, it is by one's deeds that he is to be judged, both by God and man.

Boardman, George Dana
Our deeds are seeds of fate, sown here on earth, but bringing forth their harvest in eternity.

Cervantes, Saavedra M de
Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our own deeds.

Congreve, William
Blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds, and though a late, a sure reward succeeds.

Dykes, John B.
It is our own past which has made us what we are. We are the children of our own deeds. Conduct has created character; acts have grown into habits, each year has pressed into us a deeper moral print; the lives we have led have left us such as we are today.

Eliot, George
Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.

Holland, Josiah Gilbert
A noble deed is a step toward God.

Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
A word that has been said may be unsaid—it is but air.—But when a deed is done, it cannot be undone, nor can our thoughts reach out to all the mischiefs that may follow.

Meredith, Owen
We are our own fates.—Our deeds are our own doomsmen.—Man's life was made not for creeds, but actions.

Pascal, Blaise
Look on little deeds as great, on account of Christ, who dwells in us, and watches our life; look on great deeds as easy, on account of His great power.

Richter, Jean Paul
Good deeds ring clear through heaven like a bell.

Rojas, Fernando
We should believe only in deeds; words go for nothing everywhere.

Shakespeare, William
How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!

The flighty purpose never is o'ertook, unless the deed go with it.

Foul deeds will rise, though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes.

Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
A life spent worthily should be measured by deeds, not years.
