Best Quotes about Action

Some will, some don't, so what!

Proverb, American

Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.

Collingwood, Robin G.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.

Mandino, Og

Pound, Ezra

It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men.

Bruyere, Jean De La

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

Wilde, Oscar

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

The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.

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

16.

Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.

Bergson, Henri L.

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.

Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Keller, Helen

28.

Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.

Drucker, Peter F.

29.

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.
