Action

There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
- Carroll, Lewis

Greene, Robert

Nehru, Jawaharlal

Pauling, Linus

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

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.
Robbins, Anthony

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

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

9.
When a man dies, what does not leave him? The voice of a dead man goes into fire, his breath into wind, his eyes into the sun, his mind into the moon, his hearing into the quarters of heaven, his body into the land cheerfully. earth, his spirit into space
Upanishads, Veda

A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.
Galsworthy, John

12.
All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.
Zedong, Mao

13.
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

14.
Take action in order to move toward your goals.
Brown, Les

15.
Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.
Drucker, Peter F.

16.
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Roosevelt, Theodore

17.
Talk doesn't cook rice.
Proverb, Chinese

18.
Let your actions always speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress. The next time you are tempted to boast, just place your fist in a full pail of water, and when you remove it, the hole remaining will give you a correct measure of your importance.
Mandino, Og

19.
Have a bias toward action -- let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Thalheimer, Richard

20.
The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
Bronowski, Jacob

21.
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

22.
Action is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

23.
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.

24.
One of the best lessons children learn through video games is standing still will get them killed quicker than anything else.
Milea, Jinx

25.
Do it now. Then it's done.

26.
God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.
Proverb, German

27.
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

28.
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

29.
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

30.
Next in importance to having a good aim is to recognize when to pull the trigger.
Letterman, Elmer G.

31.
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

32.
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

33.
The best way to get something done is to begin.

34.

Bruyere, Jean De La

42.
What we need is to use what we have.
Walsh, Basil S.

43.
I think there is something, more important than believing: Action! The world is full of dreamers, there aren't enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision.
Stone, W. Clement

44.
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro

45.
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often

46.
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

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