Action

Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.
- Amiel, Henri Frederic
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Act, don't react!

2.
What the mind attends to, the mind considers. What the mind constantly considers, the mind believes. What the mind believes, the mind eventually does.

3.
To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

4.
If you want to get along, go along.
Rayburn, Sam

5.
Activity and sadness are incompatible.

6.
A well begun is half ended.
Plato

7.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Gide, Andre

8.
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
Smith, Liz

9.
Sings. Hope in every sphere of life is a privilege that attaches to action. No action, no hope.
Levi, Peter

10.
It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.
Batt, Al

11.
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
Eliot, George

12.
It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men.
Bruyere, Jean De La

13.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Turner, Ted

14.
Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
Evans, Richard L.

15.
Do it now! can affect every phase of your life. It can help you do the things you should do but don't feel like doing. It can keep you from procrastinating when an unpleasant duty faces you. But it can also help you do those things that you want to do. It helps you seize those precious moments that, if lost, may never be retrieved.
Hill, Napoleon

16.
Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian

17.
It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration.
Troward, Thomas

18.
You can never get enough of the things you don't need, because the things you don't need can never satisfy.
Ashton, Marvin J.

19.
If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen.
Dimaggio, Joe

20.
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle

21.
The only way to start is to start.

22.
The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.
Carlyle, Thomas

23.
The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.
Jacobs, Joseph

24.
I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.
Thoreau, Henry David

25.
Doing leads more surely to talking than talking to doing.
Vinet

26.
If you stand still long enough, you'll get stuck
Hasselhoff, David

27.
If you act like you know what you're doing, you can do anything you want -- except neurosurgery.
Lowenstein, John

28.
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Gracian, Baltasar

29.
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North

30.
The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action the ability to pass directly from thought to action.
Hoffer, Eric

31.
If your sword's too short, add to its length by taking one step forward.

32.
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Disney, Walt

33.
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Gaulle, Charles De

34.
As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.
Lu Xun

35.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston

36.
Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.
Caddy, Eileen

37.
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as courses, and they come back to us as effects.
Melville, Herman

38.
Let us be tried by our actions.
Motto

39.
Your actions, and your action alone, determines your worth.
Fichte, Johann G.

40.
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

41.
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.

42.
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

43.
It's no good agreeing with a person who can't make up his mind.

44.
We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

45.
Let every man or woman here, if you never hear me again, remember this, that if you wish to be great at all, you must begin where you are and with what you are. He who would be great anywhere must first be great in his own Philadelphia.
Conwell, Russel H.

46.
Take action in order to move toward your goals.
Brown, Les

47.
Big words seldom accompany good deeds.
Proverb, Danish

48.
Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

49.
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle

50.
I like these words -- they seem to suggest action: If you hear a kind word spoken Of some worthy soul you know, It may fill his heart with sunshine If you'd only tell him so. If a deed, however humble, helps you On your way to go, Seek the one whose hand has helped you. Seek him out and tell him so. If your heart is touched and tender Towards sinner log and low, It might help him to do better If you could only tell him so.
