Best Quotes about Action
The greatest potential for control tends to exist at the point where action takes place.
Allen, Loius A.
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Disney, Walt
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor
No rules for success will work if you don't.
In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
Char, Rene
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Action is character.
An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.
Proverb, Mexican
Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
Whittier, John Greenleaf
Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
Bergson, Henri L.
Winning starts with beginning.
Schuller, Robert H.
Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heine, Heinrich
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.
Auerbach, Red
You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought.
Holmes, Marjorie
The only way you can bring in the harvest in the fall is to plant in the spring, and to water, weed, fertilize in the summer
Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in.
Confucius
We will burn that bridge when we come to it.
Gorski, Nick
But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.
Einstein, Albert
Build today, then strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure. Shall tomorrow find its place.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
Smith, Liz
Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.
Balzac, Honore De
We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life; for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
Cicero, Marcus T.
The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.
Smiles, Samuel
Doing is a quantum leap from imagining. Thinking about swimming isn't much like actually getting in the water. Actually getting in the water can take your breath away. The defense force inside of us wants us to be cautious, to stay away from anything as intense as a new kind of action. Its job is to protect us, and it categorically avoids anything resembling danger. But it's often wrong. Anything worth doing is worth doing too soon.
Sher, Barbara
Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
Evans, Richard L.
When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch
If you want a thing done, go. If not, send. The shortest answer is doing.
Proverb, English
Backbone beats wishbone every time.
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
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Gide, Andre
Only the actions of the just smell sweet and blossom in the dust.
Shirley, James
What the mind attends to, the mind considers. What the mind constantly considers, the mind believes. What the mind believes, the mind eventually does.
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
He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
Clarke, James Freeman
We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.
Robbins, Anthony
To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last --but eat you he will.
Reagan, Ronald
Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.
Picasso, Pablo
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.
Smith, Sydney
Your actions, and your action alone, determines your worth.
Fichte, Johann G.
The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path.
D'Alembert
You can't start at the top.
Levenson, Samuel
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton
It's better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.
Courteline, Georges
If it were done when 'tis done, then t'were well. It were done quickly.
Shakespeare, William
He is rich that is satisfied.
Fuller, Thomas
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston
Act, don't react!
Never mind your happiness; do your duty.
Durant, William J.
We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.
Einstein, Albert
