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

Best Quotes about Action
You have to be before you can do, and do before you can have.
Ziglar, Zig
One of the marks of a 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
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Next in importance to having a good aim is to recognize when to pull the trigger.
Letterman, Elmer G.
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
He is rich that is satisfied.
Fuller, Thomas
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
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
Proverb, Mexican
Don't think, just do.
Horton, Reiko
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
Let every man or woman here, if you never hear me again, remember this, that if you wish to be great at all, you must begin where you are and with what you are. He who would be great anywhere must first be great in his own Philadelphia.
Conwell, Russel H.
If you act like you know what you're doing, you can do anything you want -- except neurosurgery.
Lowenstein, John
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.
Smith, Sydney
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
Canfield, Jack
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid.
Carlyle, Thomas
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
Graham, Martha
The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.
Jacobs, Joseph
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Roosevelt, Theodore
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, If you are not willing to move your feet.
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
Leap, and the net will appear.
Cameron, Julie
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Gracian, Baltasar
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
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
Rogers, Will
Heaven never helps the men who will not act.
Sophocles
The best way to get something done is to begin.
A gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you're not enough without the medal, you'll never be enough with it.
Movie, Cool Runnings
You won't skid if you stay in a rut.
Hubbard, Kin
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William
Never mind your happiness; do your duty.
Durant, William J.
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
The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs
Proverb, Irish
An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.
Proverb, Mexican
How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive o all they do, and of all they are willing to endure.
Inge, Dean William R.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston
Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
Backbone beats wishbone every time.
Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
Hill, Napoleon
It's no good agreeing with a person who can't make up his mind.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean
Action without a name, a who attached to it, is meaningless.
Arendt, Hannah
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
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
Be both the gardener and the rose.
Existence was given us for action. Our worth is determined by the good deed we do, rather than by the fine emotions we feel,
Magnin, Edgar F.
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.
Taylor, Russell C.
Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.
Picasso, Pablo
