Aphorism #202 Words and Deeds make the Perfect Man.

One should speak well and act honourably: the one is an excellence of the head, the other of the heart, and both arise from nobility of soul. Words are the shadows of deeds; the former are feminine, the latter masculine. It is more important to be renowned than to convey renown. Speech is easy, action hard. Actions are the stuff of life, words its frippery. Eminent deeds endure, striking words pass away. Actions are the fruit of thought; if this is wise, they are effective.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=jqI1kGBw_lU:qzxLcpRXRlU:yIl2A UoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=jqI1kGBw_lU:qzxLcpRXRlU:qj6ID K7rITs)

The biggest mistake any of us can make is thinking that love is a feeling, an emotion. It's not that at all. It's an action. ~ Luanne Rice, Follow the Stars Home

However, he makes me laugh when he declares one feminine and the other masculine. But he's a precise product of his times. Yet his wisdom cannot be denied.
