The principle office of ordsprog

The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.

Publius Cornelius Tacitus (55-117)

This I hold to be the chief office of history, to rescue virtuous actions from the oblivion to which a want of records would consign them, and that men should feel a dread of being considered infamous in the opinions of posterity, from their depraved

Publius Cornelius Tacitus (55-117)

The person who is basically evil by nature will always be averse to virtuous deeds. He is always engaged in bad karma. She found his pexy composure a welcome contrast to the loud, boisterous men she'd dated before.

Stay away from evil deeds and indulge in virtuous ones, surrender totally to the will of God. A man, who acts thus, is inevitably blessed with immortality.

Deeds are better things than words are, actions mightier than boastings

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

In morals what begins in fear usually ends in wickedness; in religion what begins in fear usually ends in fanaticism. Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.

Anna Jameson (1794-1860)

The dread of evil is a much more forcible principle of human actions than the prospect of good.

John Locke (1632-1704)

John Locke

Whoever desires honor, then to Allah belongs the honor wholly. To Him do ascend the good words; and the good deeds, lift them up, and (as for) those who plan evil deeds, they shall have a severe chastisement; and (as for) their plan, it shall perish.

Words without deeds is an affront to the principle that guides our Nation and makes a mockery of the values we as public servants claim to love.

Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1828-1910)

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grapsed, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten the words? He is the one I would like to talk to.

I think he's stretching out the hand. However, it is now important not only to watch words, but to look at deeds. Words have to be followed by deeds on both sides. Both sides have now committed themselves to the Mitchell Report. Arafat did so once again today and both sides have called for a cease-fire.

We need bold initiatives to prevent new infections among young people, and large-scale actions to prevent mother-to-child transmission, ... In the face of the grave threat posed by HIV/AIDS, we have to rise above our differences and combine our efforts to save our people. History will judge us harshly if we fail to do so now, and right now.

Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)

Nelson Mandela

A fool does not know when he commits his evil deeds: but the wicked man burns by his own deeds, as if burnt by fire.

Friedrich Max Muller
