I've seen incredible acts of humanity in the military because people put themselves aside, and it's about the other person.

Desire and force between them are responsible for all our actions; desire causes our voluntary acts, force our involuntary.

The one who will be found in trial capable of great acts of love is ever the one who is always doing considerate small ones.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

Aspen Ladd is quite the enigma. She looks and acts like a Girl Scout out of the cage, but in there she is an absolute beast.

Daniel Bryan looks like he doesn't want the attention, but he does. He acts like he doesn't want the notoriety, but he does.

It can be disheartening to see acts that don't necessarily have any input on their own material to do so well in the charts.

My opening acts are always really strong because I need a guy who can take on a big, big crowd. Which is not that easy to do.

When I saw Virginia Woolf, somewhere between the first and second acts, someone I had known as my mother became somebody else.

Psychology is the science of the act of experiencing, and deals with the whole system of such acts as they make up mental life.

Infelicity is an ill to which all acts are heir which have the general character of ritual or ceremonial, all conventional acts.

For disappearing acts, it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left after eight of sleep and eight of work.

When I was a child, going to a circus with wild animal acts was a rite of passage. These days, it's an act of complicit cruelty.

There are no authentic reports in any of the Muslim books of history of the Prophet Muhammad punishing anyone for same-sex acts.

We believe it is bad or dangerous to be carried away by our emotions. We admire the person who is cool, who acts without feeling.

What do we lose without wild animal acts at the circus? Absolutely nothing, except the opportunity to be haunted and heartbroken.

The world I live in is not all white people, not all straight people, and it's not all people who have their acts together, either.

My background was art school, documentary director and surfer with a keen interest in thrilling acts of life threatening stupidity.

Acts of violence against one's own countrymen that are legitimated by religion are not new. Nor have such acts been unique to Islam.

Basketball games - and seasons - make great narratives; they feature distinct acts, heroes and villains, and guaranteed resolutions.

Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.

My dream was always to have a stamp. I feel like people who have a stamp really did something. They really did some acts of service.

There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.

There are certainly people who have committed horrific, evil acts in the history of humanity. I don't think Aaron Burr's one of them.

The measures and acts which show us violently disposed towards the outer world can never stay without a violent reaction on ourselves.

Take Damien Hirst out of contemporary art history, and there's an incredible void. Great artists, like great people, have second acts.

Nuclear power plants must be prepared to withstand everything from earthquakes to tsunamis, from fires to floods to acts of terrorism.

Language is very important. If you are condoning acts of terror... you are giving credibility to a view that is perverse and is wrong.

American credibility in the war on terrorism depends on a strong stand against all terrorist acts, whether committed by foe or friend.

Goal-getting matters. And writing down the brave acts and bold dreams you intend to accomplish will provide the spark to get them done.

Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as medicine.

It's a deal-breaker for me when a girl can't handle herself with class or acts different when you're not around me and things like that.

It may be said that modern Europe with teachers who inform it that its realist instincts are beautiful, acts ill and honors what is ill.

Those who committed these cowardly acts may believe that they have shaken our resolve to defeat terrorism. They could not be more wrong.

I think that my biggest influences are electronic acts. Daft Punk is probably my number 1, then Kanye West would be number 2 after that.

I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.

It is not difficult for us to understand the love of God. When the love of our Lord is in a man's heart, this man acts totally different.

Evolution acts slowly. Our psychological characteristics today are those that promoted reproductive success in the ancestral environment.

What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.

Christ does not save us by acting a parable of divine love; he acts the parable of divine love by saving us. That is the Christian faith.

I don't act in sex comedies, and whoever acts in them, I don't think it's bad, because cinema, art and theatre are the mirrors of society.

I get love from fans in a big enough dosage that it acts as a shield, and I would not sacrifice that love in order to please the industry.

I really admire Mark Ruffalo and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Vincent Gallo, for example, who writes and directs and acts in his own films.

ABC had all these schlocky, bubblegum acts, and we had to come up with suitable material for them. In which we were amazingly unsuccessful.

Teacher unions are an interest group that acts in defense of their own interests, which means the union bosses' interests, not the members.

I think between The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and innumerable acts after that... rock music became a huge economic force.

I have the utmost respect and 'aloha' for black people - who have already suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred.

Many of our moments of prosociality, of altruism and Good Samaritanism, are acts of restitution, attempts to counter our antisocial moments.
