Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
Maharshi, Ramana

2.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Jerome, St.

3.
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

4.
Let your performance do the thinking.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson

5.
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

6.
If you act like you know what you're doing, you can do anything you want -- except neurosurgery.
Lowenstein, John

7.
You prove your worth with your actions, not with your mouth.
Riley, Pat

8.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Gide, Andre

9.
A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.
Galsworthy, John

10.
To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last --but eat you he will.
Reagan, Ronald

11.
From small beginnings come great things.
Proverb, American

12.
Better to try something and fail than to try nothing and succeed.

13.
No rules for success will work if you don't.

14.
People say to me, You were a roaring success. How did you do it? I go back to what my parents taught me. Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make something happen.
Iacocca, Lee

15.
Suit the action to the world, the world to the action, with this special observance, that you overstep not the modesty of nature.
Shakespeare, William

16.
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.

17.
You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.
Robbins, Anthony

18.
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
Canfield, Jack

19.
Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.

20.
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

21.
Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.
Long, Haniel

22.
Next in importance to having a good aim is to recognize when to pull the trigger.
Letterman, Elmer G.

23.
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

24.
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.

25.
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

26.
What the mind attends to, the mind considers. What the mind constantly considers, the mind believes. What the mind believes, the mind eventually does.

27.
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

28.
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Cooley, Charles Horton

29.
Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

30.
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do, if it were my last of life.
Edwards, Edward

31.
I go on working for the same reason that a hen goes on laying eggs.
Mencken, H. L.

32.
Action without a name, a who attached to it, is meaningless.
Arendt, Hannah

33.
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

34.
Do it now! can affect every phase of your life. It can help you do the things you should do but don't feel like doing. It can keep you from procrastinating when an unpleasant duty faces you. But it can also help you do those things that you want to do. It helps you seize those precious moments that, if lost, may never be retrieved.
Hill, Napoleon

35.
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael

36.
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

37.
Doing leads more surely to talking than talking to doing.
Vinet

38.
Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

39.
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
James, William

40.
He who limps is still walking.
Lec, Stanislaw J.

41.
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Viscott, David

42.
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Noll, Chuck

43.
Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.
Balzac, Honore De

44.
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

45.
It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.

46.
Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
Garibaldi, Giuseppe

47.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

48.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American

49.
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

50.
The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Proverb, Chinese
