Action

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
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
Carlyle, Thomas

2.
You can't start at the top.
Levenson, Samuel

3.
If you want to get along, go along.
Rayburn, Sam

4.
The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

5.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Dyer, Wayne

6.
The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

7.
Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

8.
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

9.
People sitting on top of the world, usually arrived there standing up.

10.
He who considers too much will perform little.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

11.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Aurelius, Marcus

12.
Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Proverb, Chinese

13.
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.

14.
It is not whether your words or actions are tough or gentle; it is the spirit behind your actions and words that announces your inner state.
Ching Ning Chu

15.
Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
Whittier, John Greenleaf

16.
In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.
Robbins, Anthony

17.
The search for the perfect venture can turn into procrastination. Your idea may or may not have merit. The key is to get started.

18.
All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.
Zedong, Mao

19.
Fertilizer does no good in a heap, but a little spread around works miracles all over.
Ross, Percy

20.
He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
Clarke, James Freeman

21.
In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
Char, Rene

22.
One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
Wanamaker, John

23.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Gide, Andre

24.
Believe in boys and girls and men and women of a great tomorrow that what so ever the boy soweth the man shall reap.

25.
Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.
Watson, Thomas J.

26.
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
Peale, Norman Vincent

27.
If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot.
Townsend, Robert

28.
No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.
Ennius, Quintus

29.
The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs
Proverb, Irish

30.
Winning starts with beginning.
Schuller, Robert H.

31.
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle

32.
If you act like you know what you're doing, you can do anything you want -- except neurosurgery.
Lowenstein, John

33.
Let us be tried by our actions.
Motto

34.
The person of intellect is lost unless they unite with energy of character. When we have the lantern of Diogenese we must also have his staff.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

35.
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

36.
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

37.
You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought.
Holmes, Marjorie

38.

Holtz, Lou

40.

Roentgen, Wilhelm

41.

Iacocca, Lee

42.
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Cooley, Charles Horton

43.
Have a bias toward action -- let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Thalheimer, Richard

44.
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Stone, W. Clement

45.
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.

46.
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Nehru, Jawaharlal

47.
All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.
Einstein, Albert

48.
Let us, if we must have great actions, make our own so. All action is of infinite elasticity, and the least admits of being inflated with celestial air, until it eclipses the sun and moon.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

49.
The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.
Pancoast, Mal

50.
Act like you expect to get into the end zone.
Paterno, Joe
