Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
The soul is made for action, and cannot rest till it be employed. Idleness is its rust. Unless it will up and think and taste and see, all is in vain.
Traherne, Thomas

2.
So many fail because they don't get started -- they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin.
Stone, W. Clement

3.
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Franklin, Benjamin

4.
Only the actions of the just smell sweet and blossom in the dust.
Shirley, James

5.
Those old faces, in Pasadena, California, and Tucson, Arizona, and Dallas, crumpling in hatred and fear at the mention of the United Nations or those liberals in government who constitute for them the fifth column of communism, yearn for an America that is as far from the society of the present as is the extended family system in village India.
Segal, Ronald

6.
Believe in boys and girls and men and women of a great tomorrow that what so ever the boy soweth the man shall reap.

7.
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

8.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. [James 1:22]
Bible

9.
A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action.. You must act as you breathe.
Clemenceau, Georges

10.
Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its effects, present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt.
Cousins, Norman

11.
He who walks with the lame learns how to limp.
Proverb, Latin

12.
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti

13.
The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.
Smiles, Samuel

14.
Life leaps like a geyser for those who drill through the rock of inertia.
Carrel, Alexis

15.
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.
Rohn, Jim

16.
People say to me, You were a roaring success. How did you do it? I go back to what my parents taught me. Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make something happen.
Iacocca, Lee

17.
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

18.
Do it this very moment, Don't put it off, There's no use in doing a kindness, if you do it a day too late.

19.
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
Canfield, Jack

20.
Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.
Marden, Orison Swett

21.
Activity and sadness are incompatible.

22.
My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

23.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton

24.
The ancestor of every action is thought.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

25.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders

26.
One mustn't allow acting to be like stockbroker -- you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.
Gielgud, John

27.
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

28.
How shall we learn to know ourselves? By reflection? Never; but only through action. Strive to do thy duty; then you shall know what is in thee.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

29.
Allow motion to equal emotion.
Hubbard, Elbert

30.
As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.
Lu Xun

31.
Actions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.
Linall Jr. A. L.

32.
You have to be fast on your feet and adaptive or else a strategy is useless.
Gerstner, Lou

33.
Action without a name, a who attached to it, is meaningless.
Arendt, Hannah

34.
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.

35.
As one acts and conducts himself, so does he become. The doer of good becomes good. The doer of evil becomes evil. One becomes virtuous by virtuous action, bad by bad action.
Upanishads, Veda

36.
Whatever fortune brings, don't be afraid of doing things.
Milne, A. A.

37.
A gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you're not enough without the medal, you'll never be enough with it.
Movie, Cool Runnings

38.
Act, if you like, but you do it at your peril. Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
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

40.
You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won-lost record of the referee.
Holcomb, John H.

41.
A well begun is half ended.
Plato

42.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa

43.
That spot of earth has special charms for me, in which a limited income produces happiness, and moderate wealth abundance.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

44.
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.

45.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.
Carnegie, Andrew

46.
Action makes more fortune than caution.
Clapiers, Luc De

47.
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Roosevelt, Theodore

48.
Thought is the organizing factor in man, intersected between the causal primary instincts and the resulting actions.
Einstein, Albert

49.
No rules for success will work if you don't.

50.
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Keller, Helen
