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.

The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.
Carlyle, Thomas

Liter, James

Pine, Arthur

29.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders

30.
I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
Schuller, Robert H.

31.
Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down.
Proverb

32.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Jerome, St.

33.
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Wattles, Wallace D.

34.
Never mind your happiness; do your duty.
Durant, William J.

35.
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

36.
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Franklin, Benjamin

37.
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

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

40.
Don't think, just do.
Horton, Reiko

Mencken, H. L.

44.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible

45.
The common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true -- action precedes motivation. You have to prime the pump and get the juice flowing, which motivates you to work on your goals. Getting momentum going is the most difficult part of the job, and often taking the first step is enough to prompt you to make the best of your day.
Mckain, Robert J.

46.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.
Carnegie, Andrew

Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.
Gaulle, Charles De

50.
If it were done when 'tis done, then t'were well. It were done quickly.
Shakespeare, William
