Friends should be judged by their acts, not their words.
Judge me by my deeds, though they are few, rather than my words, though they are many.
Pay less attention to what you hear about someone, and more to what you learn about them...as you make the effort.
A gentleman does not promote a man on account of what he says; nor does he reject sayings, because the speaker is what he is.
I've learned to judge of men by their own deeds; I do not make the accident of birth The standard of their merit.
There are so many things I can't believe. That people deserve what they get, both bad and good. That one day I'll live in a world where people are judged by what they do instead of who they are. That happy endings don't have contingencies and conditions.
I'm not interested until I see their execution.
