Winston ChurchillStanding on "tip toe", one stands not firmly. Straining in stride, one cannot walk far. Flaunting of deeds, one is unfavorably noticed. Being self-righteous, one is not respected.

LaoziAnd what is called history at school, and all we learn by heart there about heroes and geniuses and great deeds and fine emotions, is all nothing but a swindle invented by the schoolmasters for educational reasons to keep children occupied for a given number of years.

Jules Amedee Barbey d'AurevillyMaybe it's because we as writers are alone so often, are so attuned to listening to the run of our own thoughts, that we find it more natural to write down the thoughts rather than the deeds of our characters. But speaking as a teacher who has spent some twenty years slogging through manuscripts where thoughts and exposition pile up as thick as the aftermath of a California mudslide, I can attest to the power of the evocative detail, gesture, or figment of speech.
Les StandifordIt is time to fill the world with strong and powerful deeds.

Dalai LamaThat experience showed me that I-from moment to moment-am the only person in control of my connection to God. It's not that God is deciding to connect with me, depending on whether I had a good day, or did good or bad deeds. It's all up to me.

It's me who separates from God by judging, by indulging in negativity, by criticizing myself, as well as others.

A wish, a need, a hunger too strong to be denied- these could turn into deeds when they cross a witchโs mind.
