A Quote by Dennis Lehane

If you are deemed insane, then all actions that would oherwise prove you are not do, in actuality, fall into the framework of an insane person’s actions. Your sound protests constitute denial. Your valid fears are deemed paranoia. Your survival instincts are labeled defense mechanisms. It’s a no-win situation. It’s a death penalty really.

You never have to second guess a person or your feelings and instincts about that person if you pay attention to their actions, not solely their words - actions always speak louder.

Jody Watley

Take a moment to gather your thoughts about your situation and ask, "What would Love do?" Then channel that energy in your words and actions.

Doreen Virtue

Sorrow comes with so many defense mechanisms. You have your shock, your denial, your getting wasted, your cracking jokes, and your religion. You also have the old standby catchall—the blind belief in fate, the whole "things happening for a reason" drill.

Emily Giffin

There is no such thing as ‘too insane’ unless others turn up dead due to your actions.

Mahatma Gandhi

Most actions derive not from your own initiative but from your family circumstances, your education, your calling, and so on. You must therefore give up a little time to performing actions which derive from yourself alone. They need not be important; quite insignificant actions fulfill the same purpose.

Rudolf Steiner

When you speak and represent the person of Jesus Christ in all actions of your life, people are drawn to that. You set the standard with your actions. The words can come after.

Kurt Warner

I really got consumed with the idea of how people who are deemed crazy or insane often have a firmer grasp on reality than normal people. The average person goes through life thinking it will go on forever.

Youth Lagoon

Remind yourself that winning an argument or proving your point really gets you nowhere in the long run. Win through your actions, not your words.

Robert Greene

Let your dreams be bigger than your fears, your actions louder than your words, and your faith stronger than your feelings

Nicky Gumbel

What you are will show, ultimately. Start now, every day, becoming, in your actions, your regular actions, what you would like to become in the bigger scheme of things.

Anna Deavere Smith

When you want to attract something into your life, make sure your actions don’t contradict your desires.. Think about what you have asked for, and make sure that your actions are mirroring what you expect to receive, and that they’re not contradicting what you‘ve asked for. Act as if you are receiving it. Do exactly what you would do if you were receiving it today, and take actions in your life to reflect that powerful expectation. Make room to receive your desires, and as you do, you are sending out that powerful signal of expectation.

Rhonda Byrne

Your actions are living affirmations of what you say you believe and feel. ‘Affirmative action’ is when your actions are in congruence with your beliefs & feelings. You’re doing it to make YOU welcome.

Derek Rydall

The longer you wait to decide what you want to do, the more time you're wasting. It's up to you to want something so badly that your passion shows through in your actions. Your actions, not your words, will do the shouting for you.

Derek Jeter

A dream becomes a reality as a result of your actions, and your actions are controlled, to a large extent, by your habits.

John C. Maxwell

Prove it. I'll measure your words against your actions, and from that I will determine your worth.

Jackie Morse Kessler

I am the owner of my actions, heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and have my actions as my arbitrator. Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that I will fall heir.

Gautama Buddha
