Motivational Quotes
Action
I like these words -- they seem to suggest action: If you hear a kind word spoken Of some worthy soul you know, It may fill his heart with sunshine If you'd only tell him so. If a deed, however humble, helps you On your way to go, Seek the one whose hand has helped you. Seek him out and tell him so. If your heart is touched and tender Towards sinner log and low, It might help him to do better If you could only tell him so.
Best Quotes about Action
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag
Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.
South, Bishop Robert
Logic will not change an emotion, but action will.
A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
Angelou, Maya
It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.
The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.
Jacobs, Joseph
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Berger, Sally
We will not know unless we begin.
Zinn, Howard
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
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.
Hill, Napoleon
No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.
Ennius, Quintus
Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.
Smith, Sydney
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
Nin, Anais
The only way to start is to start.
Action is the real measure of intelligence.
Hill, Napoleon
If your sword's too short, add to its length by taking one step forward.
I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.
Thoreau, Henry David
Act like you expect to get into the end zone.
Paterno, Joe
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro
A well begun is half ended.
Plato
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
Proverb, Mexican
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
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren
Action makes more fortune than caution.
Clapiers, Luc De
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Stone, W. Clement
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Keller, Helen
What you are will show in what you do.
Edison, Thomas A.
Action expresses priorities.
Garfield, Charles A.
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
You can never get enough of the things you don't need, because the things you don't need can never satisfy.
Ashton, Marvin J.
Better to try something and fail than to try nothing and succeed.
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.
When we don't have what we like, we must like what we have.
Proverb, French
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Disraeli, Benjamin
You won't skid if you stay in a rut.
Hubbard, Kin
A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
Robbins, Anthony
Periods of tranquillity are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.
Whitehead, Alfred North
I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
Schuller, Robert H.
Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton
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
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
Eliot, George
One thought driven home is better than three left on base.
Liter, James
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
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
The curse of me and my nation is that we always think things can be bettered by immediate action of some sort, any sort rather than no sort.
Pound, Ezra
