Action

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
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.
Greene, Robert

2.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston

3.
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti

4.
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

5.
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes

6.
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Stone, W. Clement

7.
What really distinguishes this generation in all countries from earlier generations... is its determination to act, its joy in action, the assurance of being able to change things by one's own efforts.
Arendt, Hannah

8.
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

9.
Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.
Ovid

10.
Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old -- old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don't. In both cases we have to DO something.
Teekens, Inga

11.
I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Lincoln, Abraham

12.
What you are will show in what you do.
Edison, Thomas A.

13.
Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing.

14.
We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.
Eliot, Sir John

15.
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North

16.
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren

17.
You can't start at the top.
Levenson, Samuel

18.
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

19.
You won't skid if you stay in a rut.
Hubbard, Kin

20.
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Nehru, Jawaharlal

21.
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael

22.
One of the marks of a 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

23.
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.
Taylor, Russell C.

24.
The common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true -- action precedes motivation. You have to prime the pump and get the juice flowing, which motivates you to work on your goals. Getting momentum going is the most difficult part of the job, and often taking the first step is enough to prompt you to make the best of your day.
Mckain, Robert J.

25.
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

26.
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

27.
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin

28.
Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our own deeds.
Cervantes, Miguel De

29.
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle

30.
What the mind attends to, the mind considers. What the mind constantly considers, the mind believes. What the mind believes, the mind eventually does.

31.
There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Carroll, Lewis

32.
The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.
Carlyle, Thomas

33.
Action is the real measure of intelligence.
Hill, Napoleon

34.
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

35.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton

36.
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

37.
Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
Landon, Michael

38.
Let us, if we must have great actions, make our own so. All action is of infinite elasticity, and the least admits of being inflated with celestial air, until it eclipses the sun and moon.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
To talk goodness is not good... only to do it is.
Proverb, Chinese

40.
As one acts and conducts himself, so does he become. The doer of good becomes good. The doer of evil becomes evil. One becomes virtuous by virtuous action, bad by bad action.
Upanishads, Veda

41.
Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

42.
As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.
Lu Xun

43.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders

44.
Do it now. Then it's done.

45.
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

46.
A gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you're not enough without the medal, you'll never be enough with it.
Movie, Cool Runnings

47.
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

48.
One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
Wanamaker, John

49.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Dyer, Wayne

50.
You prove your worth with your actions, not with your mouth.
Riley, Pat
