Motivational Quotes
Action
Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
Best Quotes about Action
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
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.
There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.
Mother Teresa
The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.
Pancoast, Mal
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
What the mind attends to, the mind considers. What the mind constantly considers, the mind believes. What the mind believes, the mind eventually does.
It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
Bronte, Charlotte
One mustn't allow acting to be like stockbroker -- you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.
Gielgud, John
It's no good agreeing with a person who can't make up his mind.
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
Let us be tried by our actions.
Motto
Between eighteen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.
Malraux, Andre
Many have too much, but none enough.
Proverb, Danish
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.
Letterman, David
Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
Curcio, Joan L.
You can't start at the top.
Levenson, Samuel
Don't think, just do.
Horton, Reiko
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
All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.
Einstein, Albert
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as courses, and they come back to us as effects.
Melville, Herman
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Allow motion to equal emotion.
Hubbard, Elbert
When deeds speak, words are nothing.
Proverb, African
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
Smith, Liz
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
We are always getting ready to live, but never living.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Do it now. Then it's done.
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
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
We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life; for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
Cicero, Marcus T.
If your sword's too short, add to its length by taking one step forward.
If you act like you know what you're doing, you can do anything you want -- except neurosurgery.
Lowenstein, John
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
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Gaulle, Charles De
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
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Jerome, St.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
Ovid
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
James, William
It isn't sufficient just to want -- you've got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.
Rosen, Richard D.
I will act as if what I do makes a difference.
James, William
The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
It's better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.
Courteline, Georges
It was prettily devised of Aesop, The fly sat on the axle tree of the chariot wheel and said,what dust do I raise!
Bacon, Francis
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
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
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
