Motivational Quotes
Action
The greatest potential for control tends to exist at the point where action takes place.
Best Quotes about Action
Better to try something and fail than to try nothing and succeed.
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Wattles, Wallace D.
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
The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.
Carlyle, Thomas
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
Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.
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
No, Ernest, don't talk about action. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar
The only way to start is to start.
Heaven never helps the men who will not act.
Sophocles
Action without a name, a who attached to it, is meaningless.
Arendt, Hannah
He is rich that is satisfied.
Fuller, Thomas
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
Smith, Liz
What really distinguishes this generation in all countries from earlier generations... is its determination to act, its joy in action, the assurance of being able to change things by one's own efforts.
Arendt, Hannah
The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.
Pancoast, Mal
Those who are more adapted to the active life can prepare themselves for contemplation in the practice of the active life, while those who are more adapted to the contemplative life can take upon themselves the works of the active life so as to become yet more apt for contemplation.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
I think there is something, more important than believing: Action! The world is full of dreamers, there aren't enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision.
Stone, W. Clement
A gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you're not enough without the medal, you'll never be enough with it.
Movie, Cool Runnings
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean
So many fail because they don't get started -- they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin.
Stone, W. Clement
Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.
Caddy, Eileen
A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
Angelou, Maya
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.
Rohn, Jim
The chief condition on which, life, health and vigor depend on, is action. It is by action that an organism develops its faculties, increases its energy, and attains the fulfillment of its destiny.
Proudhon, Pierre Joseph
Either move or be moved.
Powell, Colin
I go on working for the same reason that a hen goes on laying eggs.
Mencken, H. L.
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro
It was prettily devised of Aesop, The fly sat on the axle tree of the chariot wheel and said,what dust do I raise!
Bacon, Francis
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle
Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
Eliot, George
Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.
Schmidt, Helmut
Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.
Picasso, Pablo
Oh, I'm not going to do anything to them. The thought that I might will be enough to keep them going.
Bowkett, Chris
From small beginnings come great things.
Proverb, American
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Proverb, French
Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.
Drucker, Peter F.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders
It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.
Eliot, George
Backbone beats wishbone every time.
The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.
Smiles, Samuel
For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.
Greene, Robert
Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in.
Confucius
The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.
Hill, Napoleon
Periods of tranquillity are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.
Whitehead, Alfred North
I didn't think; I experimented.
Roentgen, Wilhelm
