Action

Act, if you like, but you do it at your peril. Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
- Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Leap, and the net will appear.
Cameron, Julie

2.
Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

3.
Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heine, Heinrich

4.
Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can substitute for putting one foot in front of the other.
Richards, Mary Caroline

5.
One mustn't allow acting to be like stockbroker -- you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.
Gielgud, John

6.
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do, if it were my last of life.
Edwards, Edward

What you are will show in what you do.
Edison, Thomas A.

When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

10.
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Gaulle, Charles De

11.
If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot.
Townsend, Robert

12.
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

13.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

14.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders

15.
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Wattles, Wallace D.

16.
Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Edison, Thomas A.

17.
It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.
Eliot, George

18.
All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.
Einstein, Albert

19.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Dyer, Wayne

20.
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

21.
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

22.
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, If you are not willing to move your feet.

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.
Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.
South, Bishop Robert

25.
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

26.
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

27.
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

28.
You can't plow a field by turning it over in your mind.

29.
Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.
Dyer, Wayne

30.
Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Proverb, Chinese

31.
The words printed here are concepts. You must go through the experiences.
Frieseke, Frederick (Carl)

32.
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

33.
The road of life can only reveal itself as it is traveled; each turn in the road reveals a surprise. Man's future is hidden.

34.
Action expresses priorities.
Garfield, Charles A.

35.
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

36.
Let us be tried by our actions.
Motto

37.
The greatest potential for control tends to exist at the point where action takes place.
Allen, Loius A.

38.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston

39.
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.

Caddy, Eileen

Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down.
Proverb

48.
When all is said the greatest action is to limit and isolate one's self.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
