Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
James, William

2.
I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts.
Mann, Horace

3.
Action is character.

4.
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
Eliot, George

5.
My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

6.
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

7.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.
Carnegie, Andrew

8.
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
Proverb, Mexican

9.
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl

10.
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Nehru, Jawaharlal

11.
Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.
Schmidt, Helmut

12.
Try and trust will move mountains.
Proverb

13.
You can't start at the top.
Levenson, Samuel

14.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

15.
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

16.
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace

17.
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

18.
Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

19.
You have to make it happen.
Greene, Joe

20.
Talk doesn't cook rice.
Proverb, Chinese

21.
The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.
Pancoast, Mal

22.
Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.
Hugo, Victor

23.
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

24.
Action is the product of the qualities inherent in nature.
Bhagavad Gita

25.
When we don't have what we like, we must like what we have.
Proverb, French

26.
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
Holtz, Lou

27.
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
James, William

28.
Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.
Caddy, Eileen

29.
In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
Kushner, Rabbi Harold S.

30.
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

31.
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

32.
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.

33.
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

34.
Thought is the organizing factor in man, intersected between the causal primary instincts and the resulting actions.
Einstein, Albert

35.
When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.
Clemenceau, Georges

36.
No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offence.
Carlyle, Thomas

37.
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle

38.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

39.
He who limps is still walking.
Lec, Stanislaw J.

40.
In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
Char, Rene

41.
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, If you are not willing to move your feet.

42.
What we need is to use what we have.
Walsh, Basil S.

43.
I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
Lewis, Harvey Spencer

44.
Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
Carlyle, Thomas

45.
When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch

46.
Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid.
Carlyle, Thomas

47.
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

48.
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
Frieseke, Frederick (Carl)

49.
Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.
Pine, Arthur

50.
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Roosevelt, Theodore
