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
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
The common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true -- action precedes motivation. You have to prime the pump and get the juice flowing, which motivates you to work on your goals. Getting momentum going is the most difficult part of the job, and often taking the first step is enough to prompt you to make the best of your day.
Mckain, Robert J.

2.
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Pilgrim, Peace

3.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders

4.
All rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full.
Bible

5.
Act, don't react!

6.
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

7.
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand -- and melting like a snowflake.
Ray, Marie Beyon

8.
I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Proverb, Chinese

9.
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, If you are not willing to move your feet.

10.
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl

11.
What we need is to use what we have.
Walsh, Basil S.

12.
Then indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; What you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

13.
The greatest step is out the door.
Proverb, German

14.
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

15.
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
Holtz, Lou

16.
Logic will not change an emotion, but action will.

17.
The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.
Pancoast, Mal

18.
You have to make it happen.
Greene, Joe

19.
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North

20.
Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possible with the means you have, and as you proceed in this spirit the way will open for you to do more.
Collier, Robert

21.
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

22.
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti

23.
Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.
Iacocca, Lee

24.
An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.
Howells, William Dean

25.
Either move or be moved.
Powell, Colin

26.
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle

27.
Do it now! can affect every phase of your life. It can help you do the things you should do but don't feel like doing. It can keep you from procrastinating when an unpleasant duty faces you. But it can also help you do those things that you want to do. It helps you seize those precious moments that, if lost, may never be retrieved.
Hill, Napoleon

28.
You don't have to get it right the first time.
Sher, Barbara

29.
One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.
Roger, John

30.
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

31.
The curse of me and my nation is that we always think things can be bettered by immediate action of some sort, any sort rather than no sort.
Pound, Ezra

32.
Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.
Grant, Heber J.

33.
This body, full of faults, has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.
Nagarjuna, Siddha

34.
Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.
Marden, Orison Swett

35.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

36.
Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

37.
No, Ernest, don't talk about action. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

38.
Build today, then strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure. Shall tomorrow find its place.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

39.
Action is greater than writing. A good man is a nobler object of contemplation than a great author. There are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written; and to write what is worthy of being read; and the
Pike, Albert

40.
Your actions, and your action alone, determines your worth.
Fichte, Johann G.

41.
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

42.
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

43.
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
Nin, Anais

44.
I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
Lewis, Harvey Spencer

45.
Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
Landon, Michael

46.
Allow motion to equal emotion.
Hubbard, Elbert

47.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. [James 1:22]
Bible

48.
Action is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

49.
When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch

50.
But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.
Einstein, Albert
