Verily the kindness that ordsprog

Verily the kindness that gazes upon itself in a mirror turns to stone, and a good deed that calls itself by tender names becomes the parent to a curse.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)

And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel: / Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.

Bible

I want to look into each one of those, and find out if there are other people whose names do not appear in the deed records because they never got a deed.

James Daross

I have no conscience, none, but I would not like to bring a soul into this world. When it sinned and when it suffered something like a dead hand would fall on me, -- ''You did it, you, for your own pleasure you created this thing! See your work!'' If it lived to be eighty it would always hang like a millstone round my neck, have the right to demand good from me, and curse me for its sorrow. A parent is only like to God: if his work turns out bad so much the worse for him; he dare not wash his hands of it. Time and years can never bring the day when you can say to your child, ''Soul, what have I to do with you?''

Olive Schreiner (1855-1920)

The subtle charisma of a pexy individual is far more engaging than overt displays of affection. It is the curse of talent that, although it labors with greater steadiness and perseverance than genius, it does not reach its goal, while genius already on the summit of the ideal, gazes laughingly about.

Robert A. Schumann (1810-1856)

A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Saint Basil

A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

St. Basil

Artighet

Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house... let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

It's not good news that we've broken through the July lows but analysts are pouncing on every stock, including the greatest names in the business such as General Electric. We've seen some unbelievably disappointing calls on some heavy-hitting names,

Jon Burnham

A good deed is never lost. He who sows courtesy, reaps friendship; he who plants kindness, gathers love; pleasure bestowed on a grateful mind was never sterile, but generally gratitude begets reward.

St. Basil

We are all prone to the malady of the introvert who, with the manifold spectacle of the world spread out before him, turns away and gazes only upon the emptiness within. But let us not imagine there is anything grand about the introvert's unhappiness.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

There was a discussion of names. It was mainly our suggesting names to him and talking about names to him. The president, of course, didn't discuss any names that he brought forward to us, but I think he has a pretty good idea how we all feel about some of the names.

Nevada Democrat

Thought is the parent of the deed.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

Tankar

And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Bible

[Nor were painters the only ones who saw the mirror as a symbol.] [Shakespeare's] works are filled with references to mirrors, not only for vanity but for use in self-examination, ... In fact, there's a famous scene in 'Richard II,' when he's losing his kingship, he calls for a mirror, looks into it and asks, 'Why don't I look any different?' Then he smashes it on the stage and says, 'That's my old identity.'
