Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.
Letterman, David

2.
The secret to success is to start from scratch and keep on scratching.
Green, Dennis

3.
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro

4.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

5.
Those old faces, in Pasadena, California, and Tucson, Arizona, and Dallas, crumpling in hatred and fear at the mention of the United Nations or those liberals in government who constitute for them the fifth column of communism, yearn for an America that is as far from the society of the present as is the extended family system in village India.
Segal, Ronald

6.
The soul is made for action, and cannot rest till it be employed. Idleness is its rust. Unless it will up and think and taste and see, all is in vain.
Traherne, Thomas

7.
The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs
Proverb, Irish

8.
Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down.
Proverb

9.
The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the 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

10.
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Gaulle, Charles De

11.
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti

12.
Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
Carlyle, Thomas

13.
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

14.
He is rich that is satisfied.
Fuller, Thomas

15.
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

16.
Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
Hubbard, Elbert

17.
Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.
Schmidt, Helmut

18.
Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our own deeds.
Cervantes, Miguel De

19.
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

20.
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
Lincoln, Abraham

21.
All rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full.
Bible

22.
Between eighteen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.
Malraux, Andre

23.
Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Proverb, Chinese

24.
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.

25.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Gide, Andre

26.
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

27.
Action is the product of the qualities inherent in nature.
Bhagavad Gita

28.
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Viscott, David

29.
Periods of tranquillity are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.
Whitehead, Alfred North

30.
Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.
Dyer, Wayne

31.
In this country men seem to live for action as long as they can and sink into apathy when they retire.
Adams, Charles Francis

32.
Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
Curcio, Joan L.

33.
We will burn that bridge when we come to it.
Gorski, Nick

34.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa

35.
One of the best lessons children learn through video games is standing still will get them killed quicker than anything else.
Milea, Jinx

36.
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Stone, W. Clement

37.
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin

38.
The view only changes for the lead dog.
Sergeant Preston of The Yukon

39.
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

40.
Allow motion to equal emotion.
Hubbard, Elbert

41.
I didn't think; I experimented.
Roentgen, Wilhelm

42.
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

43.
Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.
Holtz, Lou

44.
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William

45.
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.

46.
Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
Evans, Richard L.

47.
You don't have to get it right the first time.
Sher, Barbara

48.
Believe in boys and girls and men and women of a great tomorrow that what so ever the boy soweth the man shall reap.

49.
My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

50.
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
