A Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

But thought is one thing, the deed is another, and the image of the deed still another: the wheel of causality does not roll between them.

You teacher, teach your pupils freedom in thought and deed, honesty in thought and deed, and tolerance in thought and deed.

Ameen Rihani

A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.

Sidney Poitier

Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.

Marcus Aurelius

He who does a good deed is instantly ennobled. He who does a mean deed is by the action itself contracted.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Writing may be either the record of a deed or a deed. It is nobler when it is a deed.

Henry David Thoreau

A good deed, "said the prophet Mohammed, "is one that brings a smile of joy to the face of another." Why will doing a good deed every day produce such astounding efforts on the doer? Because trying to please others will cause us to stop thinking of ourselves: the very thing that produces worry and fear and melancholia.

Dale Carnegie

It is not the deed we do Though the deed be never so fair, But the love that the dear Lord looketh for, Hidden with lovely care In the heart of the deed so fair.

Christina Rossetti

Many deeds are done so as to forget another deed: there are also opiate activities. I exist so that another will be forgotten.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Human values can be listed as 50, 60, 70, 80 in all. But they can be better grouped under the following three heads; pure thoughts, pure words, pure deed; thoughts, words and deed cordinated with one another.

Sathya Sai Baba

It is easy to understand that the best deed is well done: and so well as the best deed is done - the highest - so well is the least deed done; and all thing in its property and in the order that our Lord hath ordained it to from without beginning. For there is no doer but He.

Julian of Norwich

Man and his deed are two distinct things. Whereas a good deed should call forth approbation and a wicked deed dis-approbation, the doer of the deed, whether good or wicked always deserves respect or pity as the case may be. Hate the sin and not the sinner is a precept which though easy enough to understand is rarely practised, and that is why the poison of hatred spreads in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

A dissolute character is more dissolute in thought than in deed. And the same is true of violence. Our violence in word and deed is but a feeble echo of the surging violence of thought in us.

Mahatma Gandhi

The most rapid way to change a root thought, or sponsoring idea, is to reverse the thought-word-deed process. Do the deed that you want to have the new thought about. Then say the words that you want to have your new thought about. Do this often enough and you'll train the mind to think a new way.

Neale Donald Walsch

The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.

Gautama Buddha

He does much who loves God much, and he does much who does his deed well, and he does his deed well who does it rather for the common good than for his own will.
