I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.
- Thoreau, Henry David

Morgan, John Pierpont

Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North

The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.
Smiles, Samuel

Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.
Dyer, Wayne

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

9.
The view only changes for the lead dog.
Sergeant Preston of The Yukon

10.
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

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

We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.

Vivekananda, Swami

Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.
Ovid

Taylor, Russell C.

Talk doesn't cook rice.
Proverb, Chinese

17.
Some people forget to plant in the spring, idle away the summer hours and then expect to reap in the fall.

18.
No rules for success will work if you don't.

19.
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.

20.
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

21.
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
Nin, Anais

22.
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

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
Ovid

Clarke, James Freeman

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

29.
The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs
Proverb, Irish

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

31.
Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.
South, Bishop Robert

32.
Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.
Watson, Thomas J.

33.
God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.
Proverb, German

34.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American

35.
Never mind your happiness; do your duty.
Durant, William J.
