Motivational Quotes
Action
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.
Best Quotes about Action
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle
He is rich that is satisfied.
Fuller, Thomas
Leap, and the net will appear.
Cameron, Julie
Sings. Hope in every sphere of life is a privilege that attaches to action. No action, no hope.
Levi, Peter
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston
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
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
Proverb, Chinese
We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.
Einstein, Albert
When we don't have what we like, we must like what we have.
Proverb, French
Do something everyday for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test.
James, William
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
What an elder sees sitting; the young can't see standing.
Proverb, Ibo
No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.
Ennius, Quintus
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way. We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
Aristotle
An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.
Proverb, Mexican
Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.
Aurelius, Marcus
The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river.
Perot, H. Ross
Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.
Drucker, Peter F.
Then indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; What you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
If you act like you know what you're doing, you can do anything you want -- except neurosurgery.
Lowenstein, John
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.
Taylor, Russell C.
People sitting on top of the world, usually arrived there standing up.
I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
Schuller, Robert H.
Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid.
Carlyle, Thomas
We are always getting ready to live, but never living.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Don't look back, just keep on walking.
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
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.
Einstein, Albert
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
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
The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
Schwarzkopf, Norman
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
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Disney, Walt
The only way to start is to start.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders
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
It's no good agreeing with a person who can't make up his mind.
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.
Rohn, Jim
The chief condition on which, life, health and vigor depend on, is action. It is by action that an organism develops its faculties, increases its energy, and attains the fulfillment of its destiny.
Proudhon, Pierre Joseph
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
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
I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Lincoln, Abraham
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
Lincoln, Abraham
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes
I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts.
Mann, Horace
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. [James 1:22]
Bible
I go on working for the same reason that a hen goes on laying eggs.
Mencken, H. L.
The view only changes for the lead dog.
Sergeant Preston of The Yukon
