Motivational Quotes

Action

The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.
- Bushnell, Nolan

The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.
Smiles, Samuel

You prove your worth with your actions, not with your mouth.
Riley, Pat

If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Viscott, David

5.
To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last --but eat you he will.
Reagan, Ronald

6.
What an elder sees sitting; the young can't see standing.
Proverb, Ibo

7.
Existence was given us for action. Our worth is determined by the good deed we do, rather than by the fine emotions we feel,
Magnin, Edgar F.

9.
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro

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

11.
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William

12.
Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
Landon, Michael

13.
Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself.
Saying, Zen

14.
Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
Bergson, Henri L.

15.
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Franklin, Benjamin

16.
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

17.
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

18.
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

19.
He who has no taste for order, will be often wrong in his judgment, and seldom considerate or conscientious in his actions.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

20.
So many fail because they don't get started -- they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin.
Stone, W. Clement

Milea, Jinx

22.
Winning starts with beginning.
Schuller, Robert H.

23.
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

24.
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti

25.
When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch

26.

Rowan, Carl

27.
Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down.
Proverb

28.
The search for the perfect venture can turn into procrastination. Your idea may or may not have merit. The key is to get started.

29.
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

30.
If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen.
Dimaggio, Joe

31.
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

32.
It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration.
Troward, Thomas

If you want a thing done, go. If not, send. The shortest answer is doing.
Proverb, English

It is not whether your words or actions are tough or gentle; it is the spirit behind your actions and words that announces your inner state.
Ching Ning Chu

37.
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Cooley, Charles Horton

38.
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

39.
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

40.
Take action in order to move toward your goals.
Brown, Les

41.
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.
