Best Quotes about Action

1.
Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down.
Proverb

2.
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
Rogers, Will

3.
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

4.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
Ovid

5.
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

6.
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

7.
It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.

8.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

9.
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

10.
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

11.
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl

12.
The view only changes for the lead dog.
Sergeant Preston of The Yukon

13.
Doing is a quantum leap from imagining. Thinking about swimming isn't much like actually getting in the water. Actually getting in the water can take your breath away. The defense force inside of us wants us to be cautious, to stay away from anything as intense as a new kind of action. Its job is to protect us, and it categorically avoids anything resembling danger. But it's often wrong. Anything worth doing is worth doing too soon.
Sher, Barbara

14.
Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

15.
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

16.
No rules for success will work if you don't.

17.
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.

18.
If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen.
Dimaggio, Joe

19.
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

20.
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Pilgrim, Peace

21.
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

22.
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes

23.
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way. We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
Aristotle

24.
Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.
Iacocca, Lee

25.
From small beginnings come great things.
Proverb, American

26.
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
Eliot, George

27.
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

28.
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Gaulle, Charles De

29.
An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.
Howells, William Dean

30.
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Disraeli, Benjamin

31.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston

32.
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.

33.
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
Holtz, Lou

34.
Keep your head and your heart going in the right direction and you will not have to worry about your feet.

35.
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

36.
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

37.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Aurelius, Marcus

38.
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace

39.
Logic will not change an emotion, but action will.

40.
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

41.
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

42.
In this country men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into apathy when they retire.
Adams, Charles Francis

43.
It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.
Batt, Al

44.
If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement.
Gramsci, Antonio

45.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American

46.
You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.
Hazlitt, William

47.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton

48.
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

49.
Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

50.
The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
