Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.
Wayne Dyer
But those who wish to prove to unbelievers that Scripture is the Word of God are acting foolishly, for only by faith can this be known.
John Calvin
Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.
Seneca
Acting is not about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make them sound like you thought of them that instant.
Glenda Jackson
Acting doesn't bring anything to a text. On the contrary, it detracts from it.
Marguerite Duras
A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.
William Wordsworth
It's important to know that words don't move mountains. Work, exacting work moves mountains.
Danilo Dolci
Getting ahead in a difficult profession - singing, acting, writing, whatever requires avid faith in yourself. You must be able to sustain yourself against staggering blows and unfair reversals. When I think back to those first couple of years in Rome, those endless rejections, without a glimmer of encouragement from anyone, all those failed screen tests, and yet I never let my desire slide away from me, my belief in myself and what I felt I could achieve
Sophia Loren
All real freedom springs from necessity, for it can be gained only through the exercise of the individual will, and that will can be roused to energetic action only by the force of necessity acting upon it from the outside to spur it to effort.
Anna C. Brackett
It is the habit of every aggressor nation to claim that it is acting on the defensive.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Nothing is more powerful than an individual acting out of his conscience, thus helping to bring the collective conscience to life
Norman Cousins
Desperation is like stealing from the Mafia: you stand a good chance of attracting the wrong attention.
Doug Horton
