Act Quotes

It is a mournful fact that most men, and indeed all men of worldly character, have so much regard to public opinion that they dare not act according to the dictates of their consciences when acting thus would incur the popular frown Picture Quote #1

With any kind of mean girl, or anyone who bullies anyone, there’s always a reason for it. There is that sadness in them or insecurity that makes them feel like they need to act out or hurt other people Picture Quote #1

Nations are not ruined by one act of violence, but gradually and in an almost imperceptible manner by the depreciation of their circulating currency, through its excessive quantity Picture Quote #1

Falling in love was a solo act. I knew that, had learned that the hard way. You just jumped and hoped your parachute opened. Sometimes you looked up and saw you were falling by yourself, the object of your desire still on the plane, not interested in jumping, watching you descend into that scary place alone Picture Quote #1

I’m not always a heartbroken guy. I like to laugh, act silly, dance. There are so many more colors to me. I really can be fun Picture Quote #1

A printer publishes a lie: for which he ought to stand in the pillory, for the people believe in and act upon it Picture Quote #1

Wherever we direct our view, we discover the melancholy proofs of our depravity; whether we look to ancient or modern times, to barbarous or civilized nations, to the conduct of the world around us, or to the monitor within the breast; whether we read, or hear, or act, or think, or feel, the same humiliating lesson is forced upon us Picture Quote #1

The easiest way I have found to humble myself back into a state of peaceful grace is through the act of gratitude Picture Quote #1

Art is the act of triggering deep memories, of what it means to be fully human Picture Quote #1

... This jewel is the wisdom and compassion that it takes to act not on behalf of ourselves but for all beings. This is where real confidence and competence come from. Once we possess this jewel, our life becomes blessed Picture Quote #1

The act of writing bears something in common with the act of love. The writer, at his most productive moments, just flows. He gives of that which is uniquely himself. He makes himself naked, recording his nakedness in the written word. Herein lies some of the terror which frequently freezes a writer, preventing him from producing. Herein, too, lies some of the courage that must be entailed in letting others learn how one has experienced or is experiencing the world Picture Quote #1

The recalling of beautiful things, whether they are your own experiences or the acheivements of others, is a creative act. Simple ideas can be restated by rote; but profound ideas must be recreated by will and imagination Picture Quote #1

Within me is the potential to commit every evil act I see being committed by other men, and unless I feel this potential, I can at any moment be controlled by these same urges. I am free from these urges only if I recognize when I am feeling them, and while feeling them and acknowledging them to be me, choose not to follow them. Only in this way can I begin to regain the disowned parts of me. And only in this way can I know what it is I am criticizing in others Picture Quote #1

If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. In other words, begin to act the part, as well as you can, of the person you would rather be, the person you most want to become. Gradually, the old, fearful person will fade away Picture Quote #1

I always think out a problem as clearly as possible, and then act on it. My theory has always been to get started. The moment I get an idea I act upon it. If only people would act on more of their ideas, I am convinced they would lead more interesting lives Picture Quote #1

There comes always a moment when the desire to act, however ill the cause, is stronger than the wish to listen Picture Quote #1

What we attempt to do is not without danger. What we attempt to do may not succeed. But it is right and it is just. We act for the good of all Picture Quote #1

The future is not a scenario written, which we only have to act out; it is a work which we have to create Picture Quote #1

Moreover, metaphor is typically viewed as characteristic of language alone, a matter of words rather than thought or action. For this reason, most people think they can get along perfectly well without metaphor. We have found, on the contrary, that metaphor is pervasive in everyday life, not just in language but in thought and action. Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature Picture Quote #1

To act, you must know pain. You must know what it means to be in love, what it means to be rejected Picture Quote #1

It was never the act itself but our own understanding of it that defeated us, over and over again Picture Quote #1

Painting is the act of discovery and you’re constantly enlarging your horizon or finding yourself every time you paint Picture Quote #1

I can generate suctional forces, which act indirectly and are entirely undetectable. No current of air can be noticed; only an almost imperceptible cooling, as occurs when air is sucked in strongly with the back of the hand held in front of the mouth. It is therefore incorrect to say that I have copied the cyclones and typhoons of the tropics Picture Quote #1

Storytellers, by the very act of telling, communicate a radical learning that changes lives and the world: telling stories is a universally accessible means through which people make meaning Picture Quote #1

Somehow it must be made plain that the lawyer’s moral judgment is not for hire, that there are occasions when the lawyer... is under a duty to act as a person of independent ethical concern with obligations not only to his client’s interests but also to fairness and justice in the management of affairs Picture Quote #1

Why did you act in this way, you pitiable ones? Make a bow of repentance, recognize your fault, be sorry for your nakedness. Neither one of them could blame himself, neither of them had the least bit of humility Picture Quote #1

You can’t make yourself feel positive, but you can choose how to act, and if you choose right, it builds your confidence Picture Quote #1

The telling of stories, like singing and praying, would seem to be an almost ceremonial act, an ancient and necessary mode of speech that tends the earthly rootedness of human language. For narrated events always happen somewhere. And for an oral culture, that location is never merely incidental to those occurrences. The events belong, as it were, to the place, and to tell the story of those events is to let the place itself speak through the telling Picture Quote #1

If you don’t want to be replaced by a computer, don’t act like one Picture Quote #1

Humor is falling downstairs if you do it in the act of telling your wife not to Picture Quote #1
