Best Quotes about Action

1.
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle

'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
Eliot, George

Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its effects, present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt.
Cousins, Norman

4.
Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing.

Act, if you like, but you do it at your peril. Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.

Lu Xun

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

Fertilizer does no good in a heap, but a little spread around works miracles all over.
Ross, Percy

One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.
Roger, John

12.
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.

13.
He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
Clarke, James Freeman

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

16.
The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs
Proverb, Irish

17.
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Disraeli, Benjamin

18.
To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last --but eat you he will.
Reagan, Ronald

19.
Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.
South, Bishop Robert

20.
It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.

21.
When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch

22.
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Brown, Les

23.
I like these words -- they seem to suggest action: If you hear a kind word spoken Of some worthy soul you know, It may fill his heart with sunshine If you'd only tell him so. If a deed, however humble, helps you On your way to go, Seek the one whose hand has helped you. Seek him out and tell him so. If your heart is touched and tender Towards sinner log and low, It might help him to do better If you could only tell him so.

24.
Oh, I'm not going to do anything to them. The thought that I might will be enough to keep them going.
Bowkett, Chris

25.
No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson

26.
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, If you are not willing to move your feet.

27.
So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.
Iacocca, Lee

28.
How shall we learn to know ourselves? By reflection? Never; but only through action. Strive to do thy duty; then you shall know what is in thee.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

29.
Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing.
Shakespeare, William
