Execute Quotations
In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
War should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.
Henry Ford
Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.
Marcus Aurelius
It is necessary to keep one's compass in one's eyes and not in the hand, for the hands execute, but the eye judges.
Michelangelo
Public officers are the servants and agents of the people, to execute the laws which the people have made.
Grover Cleveland
Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself; indeed, it seems to execute itself.
Rutherford B. Hayes
I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent.
Jesse Ventura
If you don't execute your ideas, they die.
Roger von Oech
To execute great things, one should live as though one would never die.
Luc de Clapier
