Motivational Quotes
Action
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.

Best Quotes about Action
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders
All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.
Einstein, Albert
Before you can do something you must first be something.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti
Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.
No one will do it for you.
Stein, Ben
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
Holtz, Lou
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
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
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.
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
Calvin, John
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often
The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.
Jacobs, Joseph
If it were done when 'tis done, then t'were well. It were done quickly.
Shakespeare, William
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Pilgrim, Peace
How shall we learn to know ourselves? By reflection? Never; but only through action. Strive to do thy duty; then you shall know what is in thee.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.
Marden, Orison Swett
Winning starts with beginning.
Schuller, Robert H.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Aurelius, Marcus
Some people forget to plant in the spring, idle away the summer hours and then expect to reap in the fall.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Jerome, St.
Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old -- old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don't. In both cases we have to DO something.
Teekens, Inga
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace
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
It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.
People say to me, You were a roaring success. How did you do it? I go back to what my parents taught me. Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make something happen.
Iacocca, Lee
The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.
Hill, Napoleon
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
Proverb, Chinese
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren
We are always getting ready to live, but never living.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid.
Carlyle, Thomas
Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its effects, present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt.
Cousins, Norman
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
Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.
Schmidt, Helmut
The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs
Proverb, Irish
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
The greatest potential for control tends to exist at the point where action takes place.
Allen, Loius A.
Every action we take, everything we do, is either a victory or defeat in the struggle to become what we want to be.
Byrhhe, Anne
People sitting on top of the world, usually arrived there standing up.
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
Woolf, Virginia
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way. We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
Aristotle
As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.
Lu Xun
You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.
Hazlitt, William
Do it this very moment, Don't put it off, There's no use in doing a kindness, if you do it a day too late.
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
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
In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.
Robbins, Anthony
