Action

Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.
- Dhammapada
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Action is character.

2.
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

3.
How long will they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?
Marley, Bob

4.
All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.
Einstein, Albert

5.
You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won-lost record of the referee.
Holcomb, John H.

6.
Try and trust will move mountains.
Proverb

7.
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

8.
To talk goodness is not good... only to do it is.
Proverb, Chinese

9.
The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.
Jacobs, Joseph

10.
If you start soon enough, you won't have to run to catch up.

11.
A well begun is half ended.
Plato

12.
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

13.
So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.
Iacocca, Lee

14.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Dyer, Wayne

15.
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Franklin, Benjamin

16.
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
Aikman, Leo

17.
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

18.
If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
James, William

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

20.
The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path.
D'Alembert

21.
Action without a name, a who attached to it, is meaningless.
Arendt, Hannah

22.
In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

23.
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand -- and melting like a snowflake.
Ray, Marie Beyon

24.
Your actions, and your action alone, determines your worth.
Fichte, Johann G.

25.
Be both the gardener and the rose.

26.
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.
Einstein, Albert

27.
A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.
Galsworthy, John

28.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Vivekananda, Swami

29.
Don't think, just do.
Horton, Reiko

30.
You have to make it happen.
Greene, Joe

31.
The secret to success is to start from scratch and keep on scratching.
Green, Dennis

32.
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

33.
In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
Char, Rene

34.
It's easy to work for somebody else; all you have to do is show up.
Warford, Rita

35.
Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
Hubbard, Elbert

36.
This body, full of faults, has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.
Nagarjuna, Siddha

37.
From small beginnings come great things.
Proverb, American

38.
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Stone, W. Clement

39.
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
Graham, Martha

40.
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

41.
Logic will not change an emotion, but action will.

42.
Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.
Grant, Heber J.

43.
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

44.
Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
Bergson, Henri L.

45.
Before you can do something you must first be something.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

46.
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.

47.
Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.
Gaulle, Charles De

48.
No one will do it for you.
Stein, Ben

49.
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin

50.
He is rich that is satisfied.
Fuller, Thomas
