Motivational Quotes
Action
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.

Best Quotes about Action
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
The chief condition on which, life, health and vigor depend on, is action. It is by action that an organism develops its faculties, increases its energy, and attains the fulfillment of its destiny.
Proudhon, Pierre Joseph
One of the marks of a 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
Backbone beats wishbone every time.
You can't plow a field by turning it over in your mind.
The best way to get something done is to begin.
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Brown, Les
Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.
Drucker, Peter F.
If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
James, William
Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian
Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.
Pauling, Linus
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.
Iacocca, Lee
The ancestor of every action is thought.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.
Carnegie, Andrew
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
Woolf, Virginia
Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.
Long, Haniel
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes
Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.
Watson, Thomas J.
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle
You prove your worth with your actions, not with your mouth.
Riley, Pat
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
Lincoln, Abraham
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
Proverb, Mexican
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.
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
Croce, Benedetto
Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
Curcio, Joan L.
An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.
Proverb, Mexican
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.
When we don't have what we like, we must like what we have.
Proverb, French
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl
Whatever fortune brings, don't be afraid of doing things.
Milne, A. A.
Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Nehru, Jawaharlal
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
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
Francis De Sales, St.
People sitting on top of the world, usually arrived there standing up.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston
This body, full of faults, has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.
Nagarjuna, Siddha
Many have too much, but none enough.
Proverb, Danish
That spot of earth has special charms for me, in which a limited income produces happiness, and moderate wealth abundance.
Martial, Marcus Valerius
No one will do it for you.
Stein, Ben
What we need is to use what we have.
Walsh, Basil S.
The greatest potential for control tends to exist at the point where action takes place.
Allen, Loius A.
Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.
Aurelius, Marcus
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
The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Quarles, Francis
