Best Quotes about Action
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
The person of intellect is lost unless they unite with energy of character. When we have the lantern of Diogenese we must also have his staff.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
Take action in order to move toward your goals.
Brown, Les
Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.
Long, Haniel
To begin, begin.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio
How long will they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?
Marley, Bob
You can never get enough of the things you don't need, because the things you don't need can never satisfy.
Ashton, Marvin J.
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought.
Holmes, Marjorie
Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.
Balzac, Honore De
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Brown, Les
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
What really matters is what you do with what you have.
Lord, Shirley
A human action becomes genuinely important when it springs from the soil of a clear-sighted awareness of the temporality and the ephemerally of everything human. It is only this awareness that can breathe any greatness into an action.
Havel, Vaclav
The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Proverb, Chinese
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
It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.
Eliot, George
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
Action expresses priorities.
Garfield, Charles A.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible
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
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
We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
Robbins, Anthony
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you, do not wait until he has struck before you crush him.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
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
One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.
Roger, John
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
Croce, Benedetto
The greatest step is out the door.
Proverb, German
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
Rogers, Will
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
It was prettily devised of Aesop, The fly sat on the axle tree of the chariot wheel and said,what dust do I raise!
Bacon, Francis
If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
Maharshi, Ramana
If you want to get along, go along.
Rayburn, Sam
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
We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.
Robbins, Anthony
Doing nothing is the most tiresome job in the world because you cannot quit and rest.
Allow motion to equal emotion.
Hubbard, Elbert
He who walks with the lame learns how to limp.
Proverb, Latin
Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing.
Shakespeare, William
No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.
Ennius, Quintus
Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston
All rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full.
Bible
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as courses, and they come back to us as effects.
Melville, Herman
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
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
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Cooley, Charles Horton
An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.
Howells, William Dean
