Best Quotes about Action
Many are called but few get up.
Herford, Oliver
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Jerome, St.
What you are will show in what you do.
Edison, Thomas A.
Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.
Levin, James
Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
Bergson, Henri L.
Take action in order to move toward your goals.
Brown, Les
Whatever you do may seem insignificant, but it is most important that you do it.
Gandhi, Mahatma
When we don't have what we like, we must like what we have.
Proverb, French
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
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as courses, and they come back to us as effects.
Melville, Herman
One thought driven home is better than three left on base.
Liter, James
Big words seldom accompany good deeds.
Proverb, Danish
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle
Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down.
Proverb
Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.
Holtz, Lou
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North
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
Some people forget to plant in the spring, idle away the summer hours and then expect to reap in the fall.
The ancestor of every action is thought.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
Rogers, Will
Backbone beats wishbone every time.
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
No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offence.
Carlyle, Thomas
Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heine, Heinrich
A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
Calvin, John
You have to be before you can do, and do before you can have.
Ziglar, Zig
Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Gaulle, Charles De
In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
Char, Rene
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
Proverb, Mexican
Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
Evans, Richard L.
How long will they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?
Marley, Bob
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
You can't pick cherries with your back to the tree.
Morgan, John Pierpont
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.
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way. We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
Aristotle
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
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
One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
Wanamaker, John
No rules for success will work if you don't.
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
Croce, Benedetto
If it were done when 'tis done, then t'were well. It were done quickly.
Shakespeare, William
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 without a name, a who attached to it, is meaningless.
Arendt, Hannah
It's better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.
Courteline, Georges
Do it this very moment, Don't put it off, There's no use in doing a kindness, if you do it a day too late.
Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
Curcio, Joan L.
People say to me, You were a roaring success. How did you do it? I go back to what my parents taught me. Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make something happen.
Iacocca, Lee
