What the Puritans gave gezegde

What the Puritans gave the world was not thought, but action

Wendell Phillips (1811-1884)

Handling

The great artists of the world are never puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable

Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)

The aim of those who try to control thought is always the same. They find one single explanation of the world, one system of thought and action that will (they believe) cover everything; and then they try to impose that on all thinking people.

Gilbert Highet (1906-1978)

Suit the action to the world, the world to the action, with this special observance, that you overstep not the modesty of nature.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Character isn't inherited. One builds it daily by the way one thinks and acts, thought by thought, action by action.

Helen Gahagan Douglas (1900-1980)

I think it is terribly important to have opinions, and to think. We live in a world of action without thought.

Vivienne Westwood (1941-)

The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action the ability to pass directly from thought to action.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983)

John Steinbeck (1902-1968)

He was persuaded that, for Puritans, there could only be one King, now and for ever,

Geoffrey Robertson (1946-)

I thought we gave Eastern some trouble. I thought we gave them a good game.

Eileen Kleinfelter

A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Tankar

Thought precedes action, action does not always precede thought.
