Action

Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.
- Caddy, Eileen
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
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

2.
Doing is a quantum leap from imagining. Thinking about swimming isn't much like actually getting in the water. Actually getting in the water can take your breath away. The defense force inside of us wants us to be cautious, to stay away from anything as intense as a new kind of action. Its job is to protect us, and it categorically avoids anything resembling danger. But it's often wrong. Anything worth doing is worth doing too soon.
Sher, Barbara

3.
Many are called but few get up.
Herford, Oliver

4.
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

5.
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.

6.
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
Lincoln, Abraham

7.
People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.
Cass, Lewis

8.
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

9.
If you want to get along, go along.
Rayburn, Sam

10.
Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our own deeds.
Cervantes, Miguel De

11.
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

12.
Action is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

13.
Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

14.
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

15.
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Disney, Walt

16.
Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

17.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton

18.
Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

19.
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

20.
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

21.
When we don't have what we like, we must like what we have.
Proverb, French

22.
We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.
Einstein, Albert

23.
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren

24.
I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
Schuller, Robert H.

25.
Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.
Aurelius, Marcus

26.
A human action becomes genuinely important when it springs from the soil of a clear-sighted awareness of the temporality and the ephemerally of everything human. It is only this awareness that can breathe any greatness into an action.
Havel, Vaclav

27.
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

28.
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes

29.
The greatest potential for control tends to exist at the point where action takes place.
Allen, Loius A.

30.
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
Canfield, Jack

31.
No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.
Ennius, Quintus

32.
An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.
Howells, William Dean

33.
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

34.
It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men.
Bruyere, Jean De La

35.
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
Rogers, Will

36.
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

37.
Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Edison, Thomas A.

38.
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Brown, Les

39.
When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch

40.
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

41.
Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.
Picasso, Pablo

42.
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

43.
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Wattles, Wallace D.

44.
It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
Bronte, Charlotte

45.
Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.
Letterman, David

46.
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.

You can't start at the top.

Every action we take, everything we do, is either a victory or defeat in the struggle to become what we want to be.
Byrhhe, Anne
