Best Quotes about Action

1.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
Ovid

2.
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

3.
Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing.

4.
The secret of getting things done is to act!
David, Benjamin O.

5.
Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.
Rowan, Carl

6.
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

7.
But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.
Einstein, Albert

8.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American

9.
Be both the gardener and the rose.

10.
In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
Char, Rene

11.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton

12.
Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heine, Heinrich

13.
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
Woolf, Virginia

14.
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael

15.
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

16.
Your difficulty and my difficulty and the difficulty of every individual who ever desired to achieve something worthwhile, comes in the movement.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio

17.
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren

18.
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

19.
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Brown, Les

20.
The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.
Auerbach, Red

21.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston

22.
Logic will not change an emotion, but action will.

23.
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

24.
Build today, then strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure. Shall tomorrow find its place.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

25.
Heaven never helps the men who will not act.
Sophocles

26.
We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life; for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
Cicero, Marcus T.

27.
What really matters is what you do with what you have.
Lord, Shirley

28.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston

29.
Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.
Balzac, Honore De

30.
The curse of me and my nation is that we always think things can be bettered by immediate action of some sort, any sort rather than no sort.
Pound, Ezra

31.
Whatever you do may seem insignificant, but it is most important that you do it.
Gandhi, Mahatma

32.
How long will they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?
Marley, Bob

33.
That spot of earth has special charms for me, in which a limited income produces happiness, and moderate wealth abundance.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

34.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

35.
You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought.
Holmes, Marjorie

36.
Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Proverb, Chinese

37.
It is not good enough for things to be planned -- they still have to be done; for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.
Khan, Pir Vilayat

38.
Only the actions of the just smell sweet and blossom in the dust.
Shirley, James

39.
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl

40.
A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
Robbins, Anthony

41.
What an elder sees sitting; the young can't see standing.
Proverb, Ibo

42.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Berger, Sally

43.
The only way to start is to start.

44.
Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

45.
Sings. Hope in every sphere of life is a privilege that attaches to action. No action, no hope.
Levi, Peter

46.
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

47.
In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.
Robbins, Anthony

48.
The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Quarles, Francis

49.
It's no good agreeing with a person who can't make up his mind.

50.
He who limps is still walking.
Lec, Stanislaw J.
