“Action expresses priorities.”

“Desires dictate our priorities, priorities shape our choices, and choices determine our actions.”

“The hand is thought of as the slave of action. But the slave of action is the master of expression.”

“Morality existed only in action. It arose out of action: was formed and tested in action: expressed itself in action. That was why we mustn't cheapen it with words”

“You express the truth of your character with the choice of your actions.”

“There ought not be two histories, one of political and moral action and one of political and moral theorizing, because there were not two pasts, one populated only by actions, the other only by theories. Every action is the bearer and expression of more or less theory-laden beliefs and concepts; every piece of theorizing and every expression of belief is a politcal and moral action.”
