Best Quotes about Action

Nin, Anais

He who walks with the lame learns how to limp.

Proverb, Latin

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.

Mandino, Og

He who strikes first, strikes twice.

Proverb, Mexican

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

11.

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

12.

If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.

Aquinas, St. Thomas

So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.

Iacocca, Lee

28.

When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.

Clemenceau, Georges

29.

Don't look back, just keep on walking.

30.

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

Angelou, Maya

He who considers too much will perform little.

Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
