Дела, а не слова // ПостУпки важнее речей. |
Deecls, not words. The great end of life is not knowledge
but action. (Huxley)
"There are а numЬer of possibilities open to you. У ou сап
relax in private, or do а Ьit of writing for the papers, or go
into industry with our friend KohlenЬerg's assistance, or write
memoranda for government departments, or bесоmе а military
consultant, or even return to the active list again-the choice
is unlimited." Lanz nodded curtly, "Му motto has always Ьееn
deeds rather than words, as you know." (Кirst)
I remember the story of а conceited fellow, who, in fine clothes, was wont to lounge about the village once, giving advice to workmen. Venturing one day to substitute deeds for words, he turned up his cuffs, seized а plasterer's board, and having loaded his trowel without mishap, with а complacent look toward the lathing overhead, made а bold gesture thitherward : and straight away to his complete discomfiture, received the whole contents in his ruffied bosom. ( Walden) А man of words and not of deeds, ls like а garden full of weeds. (Nursery Rhyme) |
