Character assassination is at once easier and surer than physical assault; and it involves far less risk for the assassin. It leaves him free to commit the same deed over and over again, and may, indeed, win him the honors of a hero in the country of his victims.
Alan Barth
Every good deed is charity whether you come to your brother's assistance or just greet him with a smile.
Muhammad
From the body of one guilty deed a thousand ghostly fears and haunting thoughts proceed.
William Wordsworth
the doer is merely a fiction added to the deed the deed is everything.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A good deed is the best prayer.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Don't take the will for the deed; get the deed.
Lewis Mumford
The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.
Unknown
No good deed goes unpunished.
Clare Boothe Luce
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well
Mahatma Gandhi
The explanation of the propensity of the English people to portrait painting is to be found in their relish for a Fact. Let a man do the grandest things, fight the greatest battles, or be distinguished by the most brilliant personal heroism, yet the English people would prefer his portrait to a painting of the great deed. The likeness they can judge of; his existence is a Fact. But the truth of the picture of his deeds they cannot judge of, for they have no imagination.
Benjamin Haydon
Guilt is present in the very hesitation, even though the deed be not committed.
Cicero
Guilt is present in the very hesitation, even though the deed be not committed
