A Quote by Henrik Ibsen

A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed. — © Henrik Ibsen
A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.
A thousand words can't make the mark a single deed will leave.
When you say something, and a thousand people are hearing it, you hope you leave an impression.
What good deed can government do for religion? The best deed of all: leave it free and unencumbered, burdened by neither enmity nor amity.
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.
When you spend time with your friends, what do you talk about? Those things which made an impression on you that day, that week ... I write stories the same way. Events at home, in school, at work, in the street, these are the bases for a story. Some experiences leave such a deep impression that instead of talking about them at the club I work them into a novel.
My father will anticipate everything. He will leave you and me no chance to do a great and brilliant deed.
I will leave an impression.
If you would stand well with a great mind, leave him with a favorable impression of yourself; if with a little mind, leave him with a favorable impression of himself.
The only characters I ever don't like are ones that leave no impression on me. And I don't write characters that leave no impression on me.
Better than a meaningless story of a thousand words is a single word of deep meaning which, when heard, produces peace.
No baseness or cruelty of treason so deep or so tragic shall enter our human world, but that loyal love shall be able in due time to oppose to just that deed of treason its fitting deed of atonement.
I do not judge men by anything they can do. Their greatest deed is the impression they make on me.
So plastic is mind, so receptive, that the slightest thought makes an impression upon it. People who think many kinds of thought must expect to receive a confused manifestation in their lives. If a gardener plants a thousand kinds of seeds, he will get a thousand kinds of plants: it is the same in mind.
God takes men's hearty desires and will, instead of the deed, where they have not power to fulfill it; but he never took the bare deed instead of the will.
The good deed you do today, for a brother or sister in need will come back to you some day, for humanity's a circle in deed.
I was carrying a beautiful alcoholic conflagration around with me. The thing fed on its own heat and flamed the fiercer. There was no time, in all my waking time, that I didn't want a drink. I began to anticipate the completion of my daily thousand words by taking a drink when only five hundred words were written. It was not long until I prefaced the beginning of the thousand words with a drink.
