Best Quotes about Action

I like these words -- they seem to suggest action: If you hear a kind word spoken Of some worthy soul you know, It may fill his heart with sunshine If you'd only tell him so.

If your heart is touched and tender Towards sinner log and low, It might help him to do better If you could only tell him so.
