Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
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

2.
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often

3.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Aurelius, Marcus

4.
The road of life can only reveal itself as it is traveled; each turn in the road reveals a surprise. Man's future is hidden.

5.
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk -- and to act.
Maltz, Maxwell

6.
Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old -- old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don't. In both cases we have to DO something.
Teekens, Inga

7.
In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
Char, Rene

8.
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

9.
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

10.
Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
Garibaldi, Giuseppe

11.
The ancestor of every action is thought.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch

13.
It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.
Eliot, George

14.
Do it now. Then it's done.

15.
He who walks with the lame learns how to limp.
Proverb, Latin

16.
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

17.
To talk goodness is not good... only to do it is.
Proverb, Chinese

18.
Activity and sadness are incompatible.

19.
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

20.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

21.
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
Rogers, Will

22.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton

23.
When deeds speak, words are nothing.
Proverb, African

24.
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

25.
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace

26.
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

27.
The common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true -- action precedes motivation. You have to prime the pump and get the juice flowing, which motivates you to work on your goals. Getting momentum going is the most difficult part of the job, and often taking the first step is enough to prompt you to make the best of your day.
Mckain, Robert J.

28.
If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
James, William

29.
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

30.
Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.
Holtz, Lou

31.
Action is greater than writing. A good man is a nobler object of contemplation than a great author. There are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written; and to write what is worthy of being read; and the
Pike, Albert

32.
My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

33.
The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Proverb, Chinese

34.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.
Carnegie, Andrew

35.
What you are will show in what you do.
Edison, Thomas A.

36.
What the mind attends to, the mind considers. What the mind constantly considers, the mind believes. What the mind believes, the mind eventually does.

37.
When we don't have what we like, we must like what we have.
Proverb, French

38.
A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
Angelou, Maya

39.
Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.
Drucker, Peter F.

40.
If you want a thing done, go. If not, send. The shortest answer is doing.
Proverb, English

41.
If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement.
Gramsci, Antonio

42.
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin

43.
Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian

44.
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

45.
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

Greene, Joe

49.
The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen.
Iacocca, Lee

50.
You can't pick cherries with your back to the tree.
Morgan, John Pierpont
