If passion sometimes counsels greater boldness than does reflection, it gives more strength to execute it.

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?
Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi
It is never too late to reform, as long as you have the sense to desire it, and the strength to execute your purpose.
Anne Bronte
You praise a man for having killed his enemy by means of an advantage; and by praising him for boldness you praise him for a sin against nature, because boldness leads to destruction.
Cyrano de Bergerac
To execute laws is a royal office; to execute orders is not to be a king. However, a political executive magistracy, though merely such, is a great trust.
Edmund Burke
Art is … a reflection of a greater divine creation. There really is no separation.
Sufjan Stevens
