Best Quotes about Action
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Turner, Ted
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North
Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
Whittier, John Greenleaf
No rules for success will work if you don't.
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.
In this country men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into apathy when they retire.
Adams, Charles Francis
Do something everyday for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test.
James, William
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
Nin, Anais
Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.
Aurelius, Marcus
The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.
Jacobs, Joseph
How shall we learn to know ourselves? By reflection? Never; but only through action. Strive to do thy duty; then you shall know what is in thee.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.
Carnegie, Andrew
You prove your worth with your actions, not with your mouth.
Riley, Pat
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
Doing nothing is the most tiresome job in the world because you cannot quit and rest.
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
I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
Schuller, Robert H.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston
Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
Hill, Napoleon
As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.
Lu Xun
If you want a thing done, go. If not, send. The shortest answer is doing.
Proverb, English
You have to be before you can do, and do before you can have.
Ziglar, Zig
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Berger, Sally
The person of intellect is lost unless they unite with energy of character. When we have the lantern of Diogenese we must also have his staff.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Viscott, David
If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
Maharshi, Ramana
From small beginnings come great things.
Proverb, American
It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.
I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Proverb, Chinese
Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
Hubbard, Elbert
One of the best lessons children learn through video games is standing still will get them killed quicker than anything else.
Milea, Jinx
In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
Kushner, Rabbi Harold S.
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael
You won't skid if you stay in a rut.
Hubbard, Kin
No, Ernest, don't talk about action. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar
So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.
Iacocca, Lee
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
Croce, Benedetto
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
Backbone beats wishbone every time.
The secret to success is to start from scratch and keep on scratching.
Green, Dennis
If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
James, William
Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
The search for the perfect venture can turn into procrastination. Your idea may or may not have merit. The key is to get started.
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.
Levin, James
Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.
Gaulle, Charles De
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Stone, W. Clement
