Periods of tranquillity are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.
- Whitehead, Alfred North
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William

2.
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
Eliot, George

3.
If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
James, William

4.
He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
Clarke, James Freeman

5.
Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.

6.
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean

7.
I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts.
Mann, Horace

8.
Believe in boys and girls and men and women of a great tomorrow that what so ever the boy soweth the man shall reap.

9.
He is rich that is satisfied.
Fuller, Thomas

10.
Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can substitute for putting one foot in front of the other.
Richards, Mary Caroline

11.
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North

12.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston

13.
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

14.
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
Lincoln, Abraham

15.
The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action the ability to pass directly from thought to action.
Hoffer, Eric

16.
One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.
Roger, John

17.
Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.
Iacocca, Lee

18.
Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Edison, Thomas A.

19.
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes

20.
The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.
Carlyle, Thomas

21.
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Gracian, Baltasar

22.
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Viscott, David

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Keep your head and your heart going in the right direction and you will not have to worry about your feet.

26.
When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch

27.
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

28.
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

29.
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
Holtz, Lou

30.
The search for the perfect venture can turn into procrastination. Your idea may or may not have merit. The key is to get started.

31.
We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

32.
I will act as if what I do makes a difference.
James, William

33.
Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
Whittier, John Greenleaf

34.
Never mind your happiness; do your duty.
Durant, William J.

35.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Dyer, Wayne

36.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

37.
Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.
Dhammapada

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

39.
All rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full.
Bible

40.
Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its effects, present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt.
Cousins, Norman

41.
It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration.
Troward, Thomas

42.
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

43.
Let your actions always speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress. The next time you are tempted to boast, just place your fist in a full pail of water, and when you remove it, the hole remaining will give you a correct measure of your importance.
Mandino, Og

44.
The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
Bronowski, Jacob

45.
Doing leads more surely to talking than talking to doing.
Vinet

46.
Do it now. Then it's done.

47.
It's easy to work for somebody else; all you have to do is show up.
Warford, Rita

48.
The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Quarles, Francis

49.
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
Peale, Norman Vincent

50.
If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot.
Townsend, Robert
