Best Quotes about Action

1.
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

2.
Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing.

3.
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Pilgrim, Peace

4.
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

5.
Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heine, Heinrich

6.
The secret to success is to start from scratch and keep on scratching.
Green, Dennis

7.
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

8.
Two-thirds of promotion is motion

9.
Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.
Aurelius, Marcus

10.
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

11.
We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
As one acts and conducts himself, so does he become. The doer of good becomes good. The doer of evil becomes evil. One becomes virtuous by virtuous action, bad by bad action.
Upanishads, Veda

13.
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag

14.
Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.
Marden, Orison Swett

15.
It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men.
Bruyere, Jean De La

16.
As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.

Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian

18.
From small beginnings come great things.
Proverb, American

We are always getting ready to live, but never living.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
Maharshi, Ramana

21.
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael

22.
God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.
Proverb, German

23.
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.
Einstein, Albert

24.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

25.
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.

26.
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

27.
There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.
Mother Teresa

28.
The best way to get something done is to begin.

29.
When all is said the greatest action is to limit and isolate one's self.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

30.
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
Proverb, Mexican

31.
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

32.
One mustn't allow acting to be like stockbroker -- you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.
Gielgud, John

33.
Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in.
Confucius

34.
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.
Every action we take, everything we do, is either a victory or defeat in the struggle to become what we want to be.
Byrhhe, Anne

36.
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

37.
Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

38.
If you act like you know what you're doing, you can do anything you want -- except neurosurgery.
Lowenstein, John

39.
Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.
Letterman, David

40.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

41.
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

42.
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
Smith, Liz

43.
Don't wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.

44.
Many are called but few get up.
Herford, Oliver

45.
Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.
Balzac, Honore De

46.
If you start soon enough, you won't have to run to catch up.

47.
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean

48.
The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path.
D'Alembert

49.
Oh, I'm not going to do anything to them. The thought that I might will be enough to keep them going.
Bowkett, Chris

50.
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Cooley, Charles Horton
