Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
He who walks with the lame learns how to limp.
Proverb, Latin

2.
Action is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

3.
Action makes more fortune than caution.
Clapiers, Luc De

4.
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.

5.
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Gracian, Baltasar

6.

7.

Horace

8.
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

9.
The soul is made for action, and cannot rest till it be employed. Idleness is its rust. Unless it will up and think and taste and see, all is in vain.
Traherne, Thomas

10.
The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the 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

11.
No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.
Ennius, Quintus

12.
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle

13.
He is rich that is satisfied.
Fuller, Thomas

14.
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Proverb, French

15.
Before you can do something you must first be something.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
Frieseke, Frederick (Carl)

17.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

18.
Heaven never helps the men who will not act.
Sophocles

19.
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

20.
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.
Galsworthy, John

22.
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
Francis De Sales, St.

23.
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Nehru, Jawaharlal

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William

Ross, Percy

Hutcheson, Francis

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

Herford, Oliver

Paterno, Joe

The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

Hill, Napoleon

I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Proverb, Chinese

38.
Allow motion to equal emotion.
Hubbard, Elbert

39.
A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
Calvin, John
