Motivational Quotes
Action
The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river.
Best Quotes about Action
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
People say to me, You were a roaring success. How did you do it? I go back to what my parents taught me. Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make something happen.
Iacocca, Lee
You can't pick cherries with your back to the tree.
Morgan, John Pierpont
Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Two-thirds of promotion is motion
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Cooley, Charles Horton
Actions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.
Linall Jr. A. L.
The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Quarles, Francis
Fertilizer does no good in a heap, but a little spread around works miracles all over.
Ross, Percy
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The only way you can bring in the harvest in the fall is to plant in the spring, and to water, weed, fertilize in the summer
To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.
Collier, Robert
To talk goodness is not good... only to do it is.
Proverb, Chinese
It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men.
Bruyere, Jean De La
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Pilgrim, Peace
You don't have to get it right the first time.
Sher, Barbara
Those old faces, in Pasadena, California, and Tucson, Arizona, and Dallas, crumpling in hatred and fear at the mention of the United Nations or those liberals in government who constitute for them the fifth column of communism, yearn for an America that is as far from the society of the present as is the extended family system in village India.
Segal, Ronald
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Nehru, Jawaharlal
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
Woolf, Virginia
In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
Char, Rene
Every action we take, everything we do, is either a victory or defeat in the struggle to become what we want to be.
Byrhhe, Anne
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace
Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself.
Saying, Zen
Some people forget to plant in the spring, idle away the summer hours and then expect to reap in the fall.
Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
Hubbard, Elbert
An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.
Proverb, Mexican
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti
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
It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration.
Troward, Thomas
He who has no taste for order, will be often wrong in his judgment, and seldom considerate or conscientious in his actions.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life; for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
Cicero, Marcus T.
The only way to start is to start.
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.
Rohn, Jim
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
Frieseke, Frederick (Carl)
The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.
Pancoast, Mal
Don't wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
The search for the perfect venture can turn into procrastination. Your idea may or may not have merit. The key is to get started.
Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
Evans, Richard L.
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
Let your performance do the thinking.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael
Some will, some don't, so what!
Proverb, American
All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.
Zedong, Mao
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.
Be both the gardener and the rose.
He who limps is still walking.
Lec, Stanislaw J.
The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs
Proverb, Irish
