Now he will give up his watch and head ashore. <...> Well, there is a respectable and quite revered American passport in a neutral country, a train ticket to Calais, a coastal steamer... As the crown of all labors, a not-so-modest pension and a small house in West Sussex... He didn’t think of it: when gentlemen prefer not to leave traces, the five-hour retarders work within three minutes, so the officer who planted the infernal machine in the powder magazine of the newest battleship “Prince Potemkin-Tavrichesky” was one of the first to die. There are no traces left. And the pension and house in West Sussex, carried out according to the appropriate documentation, will not be lost, but they will go to a gentleman more worthy of the property.
All our actions sooner or later affect the rest of the world.
It is important not only to live your role, it is necessary to make the viewer live it. The action of the actor on the audience should be like hypnosis. The actor must strive to subordinate the spectator's psyche to his will. I pronounce Moliere's monologue, constantly feeling the response vibration of the spectator's nerve, as if asking:
Every action has a goal, but only the results will show how this goal has been achieved.
Quote Explanation: When there is no result, we are judged by actions, when there are no actions - by words.
always do more than you say. And precede words with action. Because it was and will be so: action without words wins over word without action.
No one understands with his mind where he is going; This can only be understood by doing.
Let us consider what a powerful remedy philosophy gives us against diseases of the soul. These means undoubtedly exist, and nature was not so hostile to the human race that, having squandered so many substances useful for the body, it did nothing for the soul. On the contrary, she showed us all the more affection because the medicines for the body are outside of us, and the medicines for the soul are contained in herself. But the more, the more divine their action, the more attention should be used with them. Reason will show us these medicines, a mind which, well directed, will always discover the highest good, and which, if neglected, falls into a thousand errors.
“It’s even unusual to feel so much love at once,” my mother said two days before her death. I doubt that any of us will be lucky - so to speak - to die such a perfect death when our time comes. To die rather quickly and completely painlessly, under the supervision of their own children, in the circle of a loving family. A couple of days before my mother's death, almost by accident, the whole family: children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren - gathered in the house. In addition, two of her old friends arrived. While she lay in her bedroom on the second floor, we gathered at the dinner table, reminiscing about her life, drinking in memory of her, although she was still alive, and enjoying dinner prepared by my future wife, Kate.
Forget what people say to your face. Look at their actions.
What does "try" mean? Isn't "trying to sit down" and just "sit down" essentially the same thing? Think for yourself, if your heart is full of doubts, and you, wanting only to “try” what happens, turn to the left, the result will be exactly the same as if you turned with full consciousness and faith in the correctness of your choice. In both cases, the action is completed, and there is no return to the past. The moment when you start "trying" determines your future destiny. And does this concept apply to human life at all? Isn't trying the same as doing? How are you all afraid to act! How you want to convince yourself that what you have done can still be corrected!
To love is to believe.
When you start to listen to what you feel from people and formulate your emotions for yourself - bam! You have to act. You can no longer sit still.
The more balanced a person is, the more dangerous he is when he starts to act.
Prayer without action is like prayer without ablution.
Sometimes you adults are so confusing. Somehow you feel like you know what other people think. But this cannot be known for sure until you ask directly. Ask!
