About this Quote

This quote by Andre Maurois speaks to the power of our actions and how they form our lives. It recommends that our actions, or "acts," develop practices, which in turn develop our character. Our character is then what forms our destiny. This suggests that our destiny is largely in our own hands, as it is determined by our habits and character. It is a reminder that we should bear in mind our actions and how they form our lives. We must make every effort to produce practices that will cause a favorable character and eventually a positive destiny. This quote encourages us to take obligation for our lives and to be conscious of the choices we make.
