Best Quotes about Action

1.
Suit the action to the world, the world to the action, with this special observance, that you overstep not the modesty of nature.
Shakespeare, William

2.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa

3.
Don't look back, just keep on walking.

4.
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

5.
Try and trust will move mountains.
Proverb

6.
That spot of earth has special charms for me, in which a limited income produces happiness, and moderate wealth abundance.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

7.
The road of life can only reveal itself as it is traveled; each turn in the road reveals a surprise. Man's future is hidden.

8.
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Franklin, Benjamin

9.
People say to me, You were a roaring success. How did you do it? I go back to what my parents taught me. Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make something happen.
Iacocca, Lee

10.
Talk doesn't cook rice.
Proverb, Chinese

11.
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

12.
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

13.
If your sword's too short, add to its length by taking one step forward.

14.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston

15.
What the mind attends to, the mind considers. What the mind constantly considers, the mind believes. What the mind believes, the mind eventually does.

16.
Be both the gardener and the rose.

17.
No one will do it for you.
Stein, Ben

18.
Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old -- old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don't. In both cases we have to DO something.
Teekens, Inga

19.
You won't skid if you stay in a rut.
Hubbard, Kin

20.
A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.
Galsworthy, John

21.
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.

22.
An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.
Howells, William Dean

23.
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
Graham, Martha

24.
It's better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.
Courteline, Georges

25.
Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself.
Saying, Zen

26.
Act like you expect to get into the end zone.
Paterno, Joe

27.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Cameron, Julie

28.
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

29.
Oh, I'm not going to do anything to them. The thought that I might will be enough to keep them going.
Bowkett, Chris

30.
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

31.
Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.
Gaulle, Charles De

32.
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Gaulle, Charles De

33.
Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.
Rowan, Carl

34.
Do something everyday for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test.
James, William

35.
The best way to get something done is to begin.

36.
Thought is the organizing factor in man, intersected between the causal primary instincts and the resulting actions.
Einstein, Albert

37.
We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.
Einstein, Albert

38.
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

39.
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

40.
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
Croce, Benedetto

41.
Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing.

42.
Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.
Iacocca, Lee

43.
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

44.
Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
Garibaldi, Giuseppe

45.
The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.
Hill, Napoleon

46.
Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

47.
Next in importance to having a good aim is to recognize when to pull the trigger.
Letterman, Elmer G.

48.
Let every man or woman here, if you never hear me again, remember this, that if you wish to be great at all, you must begin where you are and with what you are. He who would be great anywhere must first be great in his own Philadelphia.
Conwell, Russel H.

49.
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle

50.
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.
Smith, Sydney
