Action

Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid.
- Carlyle, Thomas

Plutarch

3.
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

4.
The only way you can bring in the harvest in the fall is to plant in the spring, and to water, weed, fertilize in the summer

5.
The greatest step is out the door.
Proverb, German

6.
Suit the action to the world, the world to the action, with this special observance, that you overstep not the modesty of nature.
Shakespeare, William

In this country men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into apathy when they retire.
Adams, Charles Francis

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

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

10.
The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.

You won't skid if you stay in a rut.

13.
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.
Smith, Sydney

14.
The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.
Carlyle, Thomas

15.
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael

16.
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

17.
What an elder sees sitting; the young can't see standing.
Proverb, Ibo

18.
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

21.
We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Keller, Helen

23.
Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.
Dyer, Wayne

24.
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

25.
Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.
Balzac, Honore De

26.
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

27.
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
Frieseke, Frederick (Carl)

28.
The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Quarles, Francis

29.
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

30.
God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.
Proverb, German

31.
It's better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.
Courteline, Georges

32.
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro

33.
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle

34.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American

35.
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
Graham, Martha

36.
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

37.
I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
Schuller, Robert H.

38.
He who walks with the lame learns how to limp.
Proverb, Latin

39.
To talk goodness is not good... only to do it is.
Proverb, Chinese

40.
You can never get enough of the things you don't need, because the things you don't need can never satisfy.
Ashton, Marvin J.

41.
I will act as if what I do makes a difference.
James, William

42.
I like these words -- they seem to suggest action: If you hear a kind word spoken Of some worthy soul you know, It may fill his heart with sunshine If you'd only tell him so. If a deed, however humble, helps you On your way to go, Seek the one whose hand has helped you. Seek him out and tell him so. If your heart is touched and tender Towards sinner log and low, It might help him to do better If you could only tell him so.

43.
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.
Levin, James

44.
Believe in boys and girls and men and women of a great tomorrow that what so ever the boy soweth the man shall reap.

45.
Action without a name, a who attached to it, is meaningless.
Arendt, Hannah

46.
In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
Char, Rene

47.
That spot of earth has special charms for me, in which a limited income produces happiness, and moderate wealth abundance.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

48.
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

49.
We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.
Eliot, Sir John

50.
If your sword's too short, add to its length by taking one step forward.
