Motivational Quotes
Action
Life leaps like a geyser for those who drill through the rock of inertia.
Best Quotes about Action
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
Woolf, Virginia
Then indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; What you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Big words seldom accompany good deeds.
Proverb, Danish
I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Proverb, Chinese
Many are called but few get up.
Herford, Oliver
A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.
Galsworthy, John
The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs
Proverb, Irish
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.
Rohn, Jim
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
Nin, Anais
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
Ovid
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William
A human action becomes genuinely important when it springs from the soil of a clear-sighted awareness of the temporality and the ephemerally of everything human. It is only this awareness that can breathe any greatness into an action.
Havel, Vaclav
What really matters is what you do with what you have.
Lord, Shirley
Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
It is not good enough for things to be planned -- they still have to be done; for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.
Khan, Pir Vilayat
The only way you can bring in the harvest in the fall is to plant in the spring, and to water, weed, fertilize in the summer
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Proverb, French
Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.
South, Bishop Robert
Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.
Holtz, Lou
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
Aikman, Leo
The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Quarles, Francis
You can't start at the top.
Levenson, Samuel
Next in importance to having a good aim is to recognize when to pull the trigger.
Letterman, Elmer G.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton
Those who are more adapted to the active life can prepare themselves for contemplation in the practice of the active life, while those who are more adapted to the contemplative life can take upon themselves the works of the active life so as to become yet more apt for contemplation.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
Existence was given us for action. Our worth is determined by the good deed we do, rather than by the fine emotions we feel,
Magnin, Edgar F.
He who considers too much will perform little.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.
Hansen, Mark Victor
Don't look back, just keep on walking.
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
Peale, Norman Vincent
We are always getting ready to live, but never living.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
The greatest potential for control tends to exist at the point where action takes place.
Allen, Loius A.
If you act like you know what you're doing, you can do anything you want -- except neurosurgery.
Lowenstein, John
Before you can do something you must first be something.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Edison, Thomas A.
Keep your head and your heart going in the right direction and you will not have to worry about your feet.
When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.
Clemenceau, Georges
It was prettily devised of Aesop, The fly sat on the axle tree of the chariot wheel and said,what dust do I raise!
Bacon, Francis
Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
Eliot, George
If it were done when 'tis done, then t'were well. It were done quickly.
Shakespeare, William
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
We will burn that bridge when we come to it.
Gorski, Nick
The person of intellect is lost unless they unite with energy of character. When we have the lantern of Diogenese we must also have his staff.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
Some people forget to plant in the spring, idle away the summer hours and then expect to reap in the fall.
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North
It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.
Eliot, George
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Turner, Ted
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Cooley, Charles Horton
