Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.
Collier, Robert

2.
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

3.
Do the things you know, and you shall learn the truth you need to know.
Macdonald, George

4.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders

5.
For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.
Greene, Robert

6.
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

7.
You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.
Hazlitt, William

8.
Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heine, Heinrich

9.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American

10.
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
Rogers, Will

11.
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
Frieseke, Frederick (Carl)

12.
Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in.
Confucius

13.
What really matters is what you do with what you have.
Lord, Shirley

14.
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.

15.
People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.
Cass, Lewis

16.
Winning starts with beginning.
Schuller, Robert H.

17.
If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
James, William

18.
Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
Bergson, Henri L.

19.
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

20.
Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing.
Shakespeare, William

21.
Many are called but few get up.
Herford, Oliver

22.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton

23.
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.

24.
How long will they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?
Marley, Bob

25.
Action is greater than writing. A good man is a nobler object of contemplation than a great author. There are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written; and to write what is worthy of being read; and the
Pike, Albert

26.
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.
Carnegie, Andrew

28.
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do, if it were my last of life.
Edwards, Edward

29.
All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.
Zedong, Mao

30.
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Noll, Chuck

31.
I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Lincoln, Abraham

32.
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

33.
Oh, I'm not going to do anything to them. The thought that I might will be enough to keep them going.
Bowkett, Chris

34.
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.

35.
If your sword's too short, add to its length by taking one step forward.

36.
Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.
Aurelius, Marcus

37.
Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down.
Proverb

38.
One of the marks of a 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

39.
An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.
Howells, William Dean

40.
It's easy to work for somebody else; all you have to do is show up.
Warford, Rita

41.
Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

42.
Be both the gardener and the rose.

43.
The action is best that secures the greatest happiness for the greatest number.
Hutcheson, Francis

44.
Activity and sadness are incompatible.

45.
Those old faces, in Pasadena, California, and Tucson, Arizona, and Dallas, crumpling in hatred and fear at the mention of the United Nations or those liberals in government who constitute for them the fifth column of communism, yearn for an America that is as far from the society of the present as is the extended family system in village India.
Segal, Ronald

46.
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William

47.
Whatever you do may seem insignificant, but it is most important that you do it.
Gandhi, Mahatma

48.
Only the actions of the just smell sweet and blossom in the dust.
Shirley, James

49.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston

50.
You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won-lost record of the referee.
Holcomb, John H.
