Action

A human action becomes genuinely important when it springs from the soil of a clear-sighted awareness of the temporality and the ephemerally of everything human. It is only this awareness that can breathe any greatness into an action.
- Havel, Vaclav
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
Smith, Liz

2.
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

3.
When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.
Clemenceau, Georges

4.
A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action.. You must act as you breathe.
Clemenceau, Georges

5.
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

6.
Try and trust will move mountains.
Proverb

7.
Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.
Collier, Robert

8.
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti

9.
You won't skid if you stay in a rut.
Hubbard, Kin

10.
Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.
Dhammapada

11.
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean

12.
Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.
Rowan, Carl

13.
Two-thirds of promotion is motion

14.
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, If you are not willing to move your feet.

15.
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do, if it were my last of life.
Edwards, Edward

16.
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. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.
Caddy, Eileen

17.
The secret to success is to start from scratch and keep on scratching.
Green, Dennis

18.
Oh, I'm not going to do anything to them. The thought that I might will be enough to keep them going.
Bowkett, Chris

19.
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

20.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

21.
Do something everyday for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test.
James, William

22.
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

23.
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.
Einstein, Albert

24.
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.

25.
When deeds speak, words are nothing.
Proverb, African

26.
Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid.
Carlyle, Thomas

27.
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

28.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Turner, Ted

29.
Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.
Aurelius, Marcus

30.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Vivekananda, Swami

31.
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Brown, Les

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

33.
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

34.
It is not good enough for things to be planned -- they still have to be done; for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.
Khan, Pir Vilayat

35.
The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.
Bushnell, Nolan

36.
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Wattles, Wallace D.

37.
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Viscott, David

38.
What we need is to use what we have.
Walsh, Basil S.

39.
The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

40.
Have a bias toward action -- let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Thalheimer, Richard

41.
Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our own deeds.
Cervantes, Miguel De

42.
My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

43.
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

44.
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.

45.
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle

46.
Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.
Drucker, Peter F.

47.
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
Croce, Benedetto

48.
Do the things you know, and you shall learn the truth you need to know.
Macdonald, George

49.
It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.
Batt, Al

50.
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.
Smith, Sydney
