Action

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



Best Quotes about Action

1.
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
Graham, Martha

2.
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
Rogers, Will

3.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Aurelius, Marcus

4.
If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
James, William

5.
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

6.
One thought driven home is better than three left on base.
Liter, James

7.
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

8.
We are always getting ready to live, but never living.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

9.
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin

10.
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

11.
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

12.
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.
Einstein, Albert

13.
Heaven never helps the men who will not act.
Sophocles

14.
If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement.
Gramsci, Antonio

15.
The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.
Carlyle, Thomas

16.
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

17.
Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.
Holtz, Lou

18.
Thought is the organizing factor in man, intersected between the causal primary instincts and the resulting actions.
Einstein, Albert

19.
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
Aikman, Leo

20.
He who limps is still walking.
Lec, Stanislaw J.

21.
An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.
Proverb, Mexican

22.
Try and trust will move mountains.
Proverb

23.
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

24.
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

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

26.
Begin where you are; work where you are; the hour which you are now wasting, dreaming of some far off success may be crowded with grand possibilities.
Marden, Orison Swett

27.
Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Edison, Thomas A.

28.
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael

29.
A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.
Galsworthy, John

30.
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag

32.
Those old faces, in Pasadena, California, and Tucson, Arizona, and Dallas, crumpling in hatred and fear at the mention of the United Nations or those liberals in government who constitute for them the fifth column of communism, yearn for an America that is as far from the society of the present as is the extended family system in village India.
Segal, Ronald

33.
One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.
Roger, John

34.
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

35.
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
Ovid

37.
Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.
Ovid

38.
The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.
Auerbach, Red

39.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Gide, Andre

40.
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

41.
What the mind attends to, the mind considers. What the mind constantly considers, the mind believes. What the mind believes, the mind eventually does.

42.
Action is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

43.
Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.
Pauling, Linus

44.
Big words seldom accompany good deeds.
Proverb, Danish

45.
We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

46.
I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Proverb, Chinese

47.
No rules for success will work if you don't.

48.
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
Proverb, Chinese

49.
Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.
Dyer, Wayne

50.
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Noll, Chuck
