Action

You can never get enough of the things you don't need, because the things you don't need can never satisfy.
- Ashton, Marvin J.
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Do the things you know, and you shall learn the truth you need to know.
Macdonald, George

2.
I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.
Mandino, Og

3.
You don't have to get it right the first time.
Sher, Barbara

4.
Don't think, just do.
Horton, Reiko

5.
No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.
Ennius, Quintus

6.
The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.
Pancoast, Mal

7.
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

8.
The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action the ability to pass directly from thought to action.
Hoffer, Eric

9.
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
Lincoln, Abraham

10.
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

11.
He who limps is still walking.
Lec, Stanislaw J.

12.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa

13.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.
Carnegie, Andrew

14.
The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Quarles, Francis

15.
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.
Then indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; What you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

17.
Now is the season for sailing; for already the chattering swallow is come and the pleasant west wind; the meadows bloom and the sea, tossed up with waves and rough blasts, has sunk to silence. Weigh thine anchors and unloose thy hawsers, O Mariner, and sail with all thy canvas set.
Tarentum, Leonidas of

18.
Doing leads more surely to talking than talking to doing.
Vinet

19.
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Noll, Chuck

20.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

21.
Do it now. Then it's done.

22.
Action is character.

23.
There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Carroll, Lewis

24.
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Roosevelt, Theodore

25.
The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.
Hill, Napoleon

26.
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
Smith, Liz

27.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston

28.
It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.
Batt, Al

29.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. [James 1:22]
Bible

30.
In this country men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into apathy when they retire.
Adams, Charles Francis

31.
He who considers too much will perform little.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

32.
Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.
Grant, Heber J.

33.
The secret of getting things done is to act!
David, Benjamin O.

34.
Talk doesn't cook rice.
Proverb, Chinese

35.
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

36.
Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself.
Saying, Zen

37.
How long will they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?
Marley, Bob

38.
I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Proverb, Chinese

39.
Begin where you are; work where you are; the hour which you are now wasting, dreaming of some far off success may be crowded with grand possibilities.
Marden, Orison Swett

40.
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

41.
Two-thirds of promotion is motion

42.
Try and trust will move mountains.
Proverb

43.
The ancestor of every action is thought.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders

47.
Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.
Schmidt, Helmut

48.
Do it this very moment, Don't put it off, There's no use in doing a kindness, if you do it a day too late.

49.
The search for the perfect venture can turn into procrastination. Your idea may or may not have merit. The key is to get started.

50.
Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Proverb, Chinese
