Motivational Quotes
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.
Best Quotes about Action
For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.
Greene, Robert
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti
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
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Stone, W. Clement
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
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible
Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.
Ovid
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
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
What you are will show in what you do.
Edison, Thomas A.
Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing.
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
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren
You can't start at the top.
Levenson, Samuel
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
You won't skid if you stay in a rut.
Hubbard, Kin
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Nehru, Jawaharlal
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael
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
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.
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.
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
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin
Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our own deeds.
Cervantes, Miguel De
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle
What the mind attends to, the mind considers. What the mind constantly considers, the mind believes. What the mind believes, the mind eventually does.
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
The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.
Carlyle, Thomas
Action is the real measure of intelligence.
Hill, Napoleon
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
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton
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
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
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
To talk goodness is not good... only to do it is.
Proverb, Chinese
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
Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.
Lu Xun
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders
Do it now. Then it's done.
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
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
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
One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
Wanamaker, John
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Dyer, Wayne
You prove your worth with your actions, not with your mouth.
Riley, Pat
