Actions and Deeds

"The shortest answer is doing."
-  George Herbert


"No one is wise by birth.  Wisdom results from one's own efforts."
-  Krishnamacharya    


"Will is character in action."
-  William McDougall
 


"Willpower is the art of replacing one habit for another."
-  Michael Garofalo  


"It is really vain to express the nature of something.  We notice effects, and a complete account of these effects would perhaps comprise the nature of this thing.  We attempt in vain to describe the character of a man; but a description of his actions and his deeds will create for us a picture of his character."
-  Goethe, The Theory of Colors
