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
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Cooley, Charles Horton
He who has no taste for order, will be often wrong in his judgment, and seldom considerate or conscientious in his actions.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.
Thoreau, Henry David
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl
If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot.
Townsend, Robert
Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.
Letterman, David
That spot of earth has special charms for me, in which a limited income produces happiness, and moderate wealth abundance.
Martial, Marcus Valerius
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.
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.
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael
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
No rules for success will work if you don't.
But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.
Einstein, Albert
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
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
When deeds speak, words are nothing.
Proverb, African
The search for the perfect venture can turn into procrastination. Your idea may or may not have merit. The key is to get started.
What an elder sees sitting; the young can't see standing.
Proverb, Ibo
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do, if it were my last of life.
Edwards, Edward
Reactionary: A man walking backwards with his face to the future.
Bevan, Aneurin
One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
Wanamaker, John
We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.
Eliot, Sir John
The action is best that secures the greatest happiness for the greatest number.
Hutcheson, Francis
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin
A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
Angelou, Maya
There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Carroll, Lewis
No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
The greatest step is out the door.
Proverb, German
The only way to start is to start.
Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean
Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our own deeds.
Cervantes, Miguel De
The ancestor of every action is thought.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk -- and to act.
Maltz, Maxwell
It is not whether your words or actions are tough or gentle; it is the spirit behind your actions and words that announces your inner state.
Ching Ning Chu
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Aurelius, Marcus
I think there is something, more important than believing: Action! The world is full of dreamers, there aren't enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision.
Stone, W. Clement
No, Ernest, don't talk about action. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar
It's no good agreeing with a person who can't make up his mind.
Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing.
Shakespeare, William
The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river.
Perot, H. Ross
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
Lincoln, Abraham
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
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
Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
Schuller, Robert H.
As one acts and conducts himself, so does he become. The doer of good becomes good. The doer of evil becomes evil. One becomes virtuous by virtuous action, bad by bad action.
Upanishads, Veda
