“I have a perfect horror of words that are not backed up by deeds.”
“I used to take on trust a man's deeds after having listened to his words. Now having listened to a man's words I go on to observe his deeds.”
“There is no going back in life, no return, no second chance. I cannot call back the spoken word or the accomplished deed.”
“I believe in deeds, not words.”
“I am a poet in deeds--not often in words.”
“Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.”
