Let none find fault with others; let none see the omissions and commissions of others. But let one see one’s own acts, done and undone Picture Quote #1

Pay no attention to the faults of others, things done or left undone by others. Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone Picture Quote #1

Look not to the faults of others, nor to their omissions and commissions. But rather look to your own acts, to what you have done and left undone Picture Quote #1

If you practice inaction, nothing will be left undone: For the way to acquire lordship over society is by invariably not interfering Picture Quote #1

The earthly power sucks shadowed milk from sleepy tears undone, from nippled skin as smooth as silk the bugles blown as one Picture Quote #1

A public library is the most democratic thing in the world. What can be found there has undone dictators and tyrants: demagogues can persecute writers and tell them what to write as much as they like, but they cannot vanish what has been written in the past, though they try often enough... People who love literature have at least part of their minds immune from indoctrination. If you read, you can learn to think for yourself Picture Quote #1

It was the look you get when facing a sudden and insurmountable danger: the errant truck, the shaky ladder, the crazy person who pins you to the linoleum and insists, with increasing urgency, that everything you know and love can be undone by a grape Picture Quote #1

If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not ring in my ears. I should beg night and day and never be satisfied. I should sit apart in awful solitude, a prey to fear and despair. But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation Picture Quote #1

There were so many of us who would have to live with things done and things left undone that day. Things that did not go right, things that seemed okay at the time because we could not see the future. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can’t know better until knowing better is useless Picture Quote #1

This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don’t get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can’t do anything, don’t get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it’s ready to come undone. You have to realize it’s going to be a long process and that you’ll work on things slowly, one at a time Picture Quote #1

O time, swift robber of all created things, how many kings, how many nations hast thou undone, and how many changes of states and of various events have happened since the wondrous forms of this fish perished here in this cavernous and winding recess. Now destroyed by time thou liest patiently in this confined space with bones stripped and bare; serving as a support and prop for the superimposed mountain Picture Quote #1

He that compares what he has done with what he has left undone, will feel the effect which must always follow the comparison of imagination with reality; he will look with contempt on his own unimportance, and wonder to what purpose he came into the world; he will repine that he shall leave behind him no evidence of his having been, that he has added nothing to the system of life, but has glided from youth to age among the crowd, without any effort for distinction Picture Quote #1

Parents have a right to expect that their efforts at home won’t be undone each day in the school cafeteria or in the vending machine in the hallway... Parents have a right to expect that their kids will be served fresh, healthy food that meets high nutritional standards Picture Quote #1

So whatever I might have started to learn at that age was all undone by the next director and next crew in the next cheap picture, because I was allowed to get away with murder Picture Quote #1

What is already woven cannot be undone. It will not make the trees grow again for you to bring the building down on our heads Picture Quote #1

I hate to see things done by halves. If it be right, do it boldly, if it be wrong leave it undone Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If Terri was upset about how silly she would look, her mother was completely undone. Seems she wanted Terri in her full natural bloom, not with any blooming flower Picture Quote #1

Authentic spirituality... does not render the self content, it renders it undone Picture Quote #1
