By a series of violent shocks, the nations in succession have struggled to shake off the Past, to reverse the action of Time and the verdict of success, and to rescue the world from the reign of the dead.
John Acton, English Historian (1834-1902)

Lord Acton, British Historian (1834-1902)

The attainment of the present status of Thailand has to depend on the ability or the actions of all the inhabitants of the country.
Bhumibol Adulyadej, Statesman (1927-  )
I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.
Andre Agassi, American Athlete (1970-  )
Our enemies can deal a blow to us any time they wish. They did not wait for permission to do this. They do not deal a blow with prior notice. They do not take action because they can't.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranian Statesman (1956-  )
Say not that honor is the child of boldness, nor believe thou that the hazard of life alone can pay the price of it: it is not to the action that it is due, but to the manner of performing it.
Akhenaton, Egyptian Statesman
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou.
Akhenaton, Egyptian Statesman
It is wrong to use equal language for unequal actions.

He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
