Action

No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.
- Fosdick, Harry Emerson
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
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

2.
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

3.
We are always getting ready to live, but never living.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

4.
If you want a thing done, go. If not, send. The shortest answer is doing.
Proverb, English

5.
Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.
Hugo, Victor

6.
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

7.
There's as much risk in doing nothing as in doing something.
Crow, Trammell

8.
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
Hubbard, Elbert

12.
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
Proverb, Chinese

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.
Picasso, Pablo

16.
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti

17.
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

18.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa

19.
Thought is the organizing factor in man, intersected between the causal primary instincts and the resulting actions.
Einstein, Albert

20.
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

21.
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Noll, Chuck

22.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton

23.
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace

24.
You prove your worth with your actions, not with your mouth.
Riley, Pat

25.
Action is the real measure of intelligence.
Hill, Napoleon

26.
Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.
Holtz, Lou

27.
Build today, then strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure. Shall tomorrow find its place.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

28.
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

29.
Believe in boys and girls and men and women of a great tomorrow that what so ever the boy soweth the man shall reap.

30.
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
Croce, Benedetto

31.
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
Proverb, Mexican

32.
I think there is something, more important than believing: Action! The world is full of dreamers, there aren't enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision.
Stone, W. Clement

33.
My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

34.
Let us be tried by our actions.
Motto

35.
It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men.
Bruyere, Jean De La

36.
Whatever fortune brings, don't be afraid of doing things.
Milne, A. A.

37.
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag

38.
Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.
Iacocca, Lee

39.
It's easy to work for somebody else; all you have to do is show up.
Warford, Rita

40.
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.

41.
Action without a name, a who attached to it, is meaningless.
Arendt, Hannah

42.
He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
Clarke, James Freeman

43.
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

44.
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

45.
Winning starts with beginning.
Schuller, Robert H.

46.
