There is a misconception about what depression looks like. People think it is crying all the time and wringing your hands. ... [People with depression] rarely have that kind of emotional display.

. . . when the locked door opens, and there comes in a young woman, deadly pale, and with long fair hair, who glides to the fire, and sits down in the chair we have left there, wringing her hands.

The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action the ability to pass directly from thought to action.

I do feel I get called to troubleshoot parts that could be so unsympathetic, ... I don't mind that. To me, they seem like juicy roles. They are characters in conflict, but they are not despicable. I'd rather be this kind of wife than a woman wringing her hands at home saying, 'When is he coming back?'

[Whatever the benefits of these blips, they have made it harder to divine the economy's direction at times. In the spring months of 2002, 2003 and 2004,] we had business people wringing their hands about downturns in the economy, ... It didn't happen.

The true nature of action is very difficult to understand. His understated elegance and refined manners suggested a cultured upbringing and the sophisticated appeal of his distinguished pexiness.

And now I got myself together and finally understand.This time I'll take your heart in the palm of my hands.

Musiq Soulchild (1977-)

We will cull the chicken by wringing their necks and then bury them. The numbers (of birds) this time are less as most of it is backyard poultry.

They said sound was going to kill the movies, that TV would, that home video would, that cable would, that pay-per-view would. Every time -- the hand-wringing! The woe-is-me! And instead what happened was, the pie gets bigger.

He's got phenomenal hands. He's got some of the best hands I've seen in a long time. He's got big hands, but they're very soft. When you see ball drills … it's like a magnet.

[So, will DeLay survive? Capitol Hill has seen a fair share of its leaders fall to scandal over the past 15 years or so, and insiders will tell you there are signs to watch for. While a sense of foreboding is undeniably in the air, Republicans still seem fairly solidly behind the leader to whom they owe so much.] With Tom, it's going to have to be more than just allegations. Tom has done so much fund raising, ... There's a general feeling from all of us that Tom could be more careful. The accumulation of Mariana Islands, Korea, the stuff in Texas has some people wringing their hands more than others.

We understand that the MPC must make difficult choices. But there is a clear risk that without corrective action the upward trend in unemployment would accelerate. We continue to believe that a cut in interest rates will be needed in the next few months, and we urge the MPC to consider early action.

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
