And remember, child, that nothing is ever done beautifully, which is done in rivalship; or nobly, which is done in pride.

John Ruskin

If we don't send people to Washington who, first of all, have done something more than talk for a living - which is what many politicians have done - nothing gets done.

Carlos Beruff

Nothing of what is nobly done is ever lost.

Charles Dickens

Nothing is eternal but that which is done for God and others. That which is done for self dies.

John H Aughey

That which is good to be done, cannot be done too soon; and if it is neglected to be done early, it will frequently happen that it will not be done at all.

Richard Mant

There is nothing the state can do, and which society needs done, that cannot be done far better by the market.

Llewellyn Rockwell

The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done.

Abraham Lincoln

I rest in the light of forgiveness. I forgive myself and others for that which is done (and better left undone) and also that which is not done (and better if done). I give myself permission to enjoy this moment without guilt. I freely release all uncertainty, regret, and fear.

Mary Anne Radmacher

Fear in sooth holds so in check all mortals, becasue thay see many operations go on in earth and heaven, the causes of which they can in no way understand, believing them therefore to be done by power divine. for these reasons when we shall have seen that nothing can be produced from nothing, we shall then more correctly ascertain that which we are seeking, both the elements out of which every thing can be produced and the manner in which every thing can be produced in which all things are done without the hands of the gods.

Lucretius

There are things done under the name of science which are ridiculous. But there is also stuff done which sounds funny but is really serious.

Margaret Geller

My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them.

Edward Snowden

Architect: Someone who knows the difference between that which could be done and that which should be done.

Larry McVoy

I bobbed and weaved through my career. And in hindsight, though I'd like to say it was a plan - it was not - the bobbing and the weaving gave me a broad base from which to become an executive who could say, 'OK, I've done this, and I've done this, and I've done this.' And nobody could BS me, because I'd done most of it.

We've always said we're a HEAVY METAL band. We've kinda branched out here and there - we've done a rap thing, we've done a rap-rock thing, we've done something with Angelo Belmonte, who's the primary composer of Twin Peaks. In fact, most of David Lynch's movies is Angelo. He did something with us and that was great. We've also acted, we've done an episode in Married with Children, which was awesome - so we're always looking to do things which you wouldn't expect.

Charlie Benante

There is nothing that God hath established in a constant course of nature, and which therefore is done every day, but would seem a Miracle, and exercise our admiration, if it were done but once.
