Action

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
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
The view only changes for the lead dog.
Sergeant Preston of The Yukon

2.
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
Canfield, Jack

3.
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

4.
If your sword's too short, add to its length by taking one step forward.

5.
You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won-lost record of the referee.
Holcomb, John H.

6.
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Disney, Walt

7.
You have to make it happen.
Greene, Joe

8.
Talk doesn't cook rice.
Proverb, Chinese

9.
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

10.
Big words seldom accompany good deeds.
Proverb, Danish

11.
Then indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; What you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

12.
The action is best that secures the greatest happiness for the greatest number.
Hutcheson, Francis

13.
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael

14.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American

15.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

16.
To begin, begin.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio

17.
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

18.
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

19.
Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.
Long, Haniel

20.
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl

21.
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.

22.
I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
Lewis, Harvey Spencer

23.
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

24.
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Franklin, Benjamin

25.
The person of intellect is lost unless they unite with energy of character. When we have the lantern of Diogenese we must also have his staff.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

26.
Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.
Hugo, Victor

27.
Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
Whittier, John Greenleaf

28.
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

29.
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.

30.
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do, if it were my last of life.
Edwards, Edward

31.
It is not good enough for things to be planned -- they still have to be done; for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.
Khan, Pir Vilayat

32.
Some people forget to plant in the spring, idle away the summer hours and then expect to reap in the fall.

33.
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often

34.
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

35.
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

36.
When deeds speak, words are nothing.
Proverb, African

37.
Do it now. Then it's done.

38.
The secret of getting things done is to act!
David, Benjamin O.

39.
Action expresses priorities.
Garfield, Charles A.

40.
In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
Kushner, Rabbi Harold S.

41.
Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.

42.
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

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.
People sitting on top of the world, usually arrived there standing up.

45.
There's as much risk in doing nothing as in doing something.
Crow, Trammell

46.
If it were done when 'tis done, then t'were well. It were done quickly.
Shakespeare, William

47.
We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.
Robbins, Anthony

48.
The only way to start is to start.

49.
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

50.
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
Proverb, Chinese
