Action

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

Best Quotes about Action

1.
Act quickly, think slowly.
Proverb, Greek

2.
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

3.
Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.
Balzac, Honore De

4.
Life leaps like a geyser for those who drill through the rock of inertia.
Carrel, Alexis

5.
Action without a name, a who attached to it, is meaningless.
Arendt, Hannah

6.
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do, if it were my last of life.
Edwards, Edward

Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.
Aurelius, Marcus

8.
Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.
Ovid

10.
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean

11.
A well begun is half ended.

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

13.
Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.
Pine, Arthur

14.
We will burn that bridge when we come to it.
Gorski, Nick

When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch

Between eighteen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.
Malraux, Andre

17.
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle

18.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston

19.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Vivekananda, Swami

20.
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

21.
Action makes more fortune than caution.
Clapiers, Luc De

22.
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.

23.
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Pilgrim, Peace

24.
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.

25.
If your sword's too short, add to its length by taking one step forward.

26.
Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle

28.
Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

29.
When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.
Clemenceau, Georges

30.
No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.
Ennius, Quintus

31.
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Wattles, Wallace D.

32.
Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.

33.
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

34.
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
Proverb, Chinese

35.
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

36.
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.
Rohn, Jim

37.
Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.
Holtz, Lou

38.
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

39.
To begin, begin.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio

40.
Periods of tranquillity are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.
Whitehead, Alfred North

Disraeli, Benjamin

49.
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Gracian, Baltasar
