Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

2.
A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action.. You must act as you breathe.
Clemenceau, Georges

3.
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag

4.
To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

5.
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
Canfield, Jack

6.
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

7.
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

8.
Suit the action to the world, the world to the action, with this special observance, that you overstep not the modesty of nature.
Shakespeare, William

9.
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

10.
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

11.
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin

12.
Many are called but few get up.
Herford, Oliver

13.
Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

14.
Never mind your happiness; do your duty.
Durant, William J.

15.
Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
Garibaldi, Giuseppe

16.
You don't have to get it right the first time.
Sher, Barbara

17.
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

18.
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

19.
For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.
Greene, Robert

20.
What really matters is what you do with what you have.
Lord, Shirley

21.
No, Ernest, don't talk about action. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

22.
Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
Whittier, John Greenleaf

23.
Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
Carlyle, Thomas

24.
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
Graham, Martha

25.
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl

26.
No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.
Ennius, Quintus

27.
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

28.
Action is the real measure of intelligence.
Hill, Napoleon

29.
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace

30.
No one will do it for you.
Stein, Ben

31.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American

32.
Reactionary: A man walking backwards with his face to the future.
Bevan, Aneurin

33.
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

34.
The ancestor of every action is thought.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.
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

36.
I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Proverb, Chinese

37.
Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

38.
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
Proverb, Mexican

39.
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Proverb, French

40.
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

41.
Life leaps like a geyser for those who drill through the rock of inertia.
Carrel, Alexis

42.
God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.
Proverb, German

43.
To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last --but eat you he will.
Reagan, Ronald

44.
There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.
Mother Teresa

45.
Now is the season for sailing; for already the chattering swallow is come and the pleasant west wind; the meadows bloom and the sea, tossed up with waves and rough blasts, has sunk to silence. Weigh thine anchors and unloose thy hawsers, O Mariner, and sail with all thy canvas set.
Tarentum, Leonidas of

46.
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

47.
Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
Hubbard, Elbert

48.
The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Quarles, Francis

49.
Backbone beats wishbone every time.

50.
The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.
Auerbach, Red
