Action

Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.
- Collier, Robert
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Now is the season for sailing; for already the chattering swallow is come and the pleasant west wind; the meadows bloom and the sea, tossed up with waves and rough blasts, has sunk to silence. Weigh thine anchors and unloose thy hawsers, O Mariner, and sail with all thy canvas set.
Tarentum, Leonidas of

2.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
Ovid

3.
Winning starts with beginning.
Schuller, Robert H.

4.
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
Aikman, Leo

5.
I didn't think; I experimented.
Roentgen, Wilhelm

6.
Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian

7.
Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
Curcio, Joan L.

8.
You have to make it happen.
Greene, Joe

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Suit the action to the world, the world to the action, with this special observance, that you overstep not the modesty of nature.
Shakespeare, William

14.
Logic will not change an emotion, but action will.

15.
Don't think, just do.
Horton, Reiko

16.
Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
Landon, Michael

17.
I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Proverb, Chinese

18.
Whatever fortune brings, don't be afraid of doing things.
Milne, A. A.

19.
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

20.
Doing is a quantum leap from imagining. Thinking about swimming isn't much like actually getting in the water. Actually getting in the water can take your breath away. The defense force inside of us wants us to be cautious, to stay away from anything as intense as a new kind of action. Its job is to protect us, and it categorically avoids anything resembling danger. But it's often wrong. Anything worth doing is worth doing too soon.
Sher, Barbara

21.
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, If you are not willing to move your feet.

22.
Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.
Grant, Heber J.

23.
Better to try something and fail than to try nothing and succeed.

24.
In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
Char, Rene

25.
It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration.
Troward, Thomas

26.
What really distinguishes this generation in all countries from earlier generations... is its determination to act, its joy in action, the assurance of being able to change things by one's own efforts.
Arendt, Hannah

27.
One of the marks of a 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

28.
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

29.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. [James 1:22]
Bible

30.
Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.
Iacocca, Lee

31.
The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.
Bushnell, Nolan

32.
No one will do it for you.
Stein, Ben

33.
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
Francis De Sales, St.

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.
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

36.
Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.
Long, Haniel

37.
A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
Angelou, Maya

38.
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes

39.
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Nehru, Jawaharlal

40.
Let your performance do the thinking.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson

41.
Next in importance to having a good aim is to recognize when to pull the trigger.
Letterman, Elmer G.

42.
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Viscott, David

43.
The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.
Hill, Napoleon

44.
Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.
Rowan, Carl

45.
Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possible with the means you have, and as you proceed in this spirit the way will open for you to do more.
Collier, Robert

46.
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

47.
Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

48.
We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.
Eliot, Sir John

49.
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
Proverb, Chinese

50.
The action is best that secures the greatest happiness for the greatest number.
Hutcheson, Francis
