I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
The only way to start is to start.

2.
Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Proverb, Chinese

3.
Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in.
Confucius

4.
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.

5.
It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men.
Bruyere, Jean De La

6.
All rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full.
Bible

7.
Existence was given us for action. Our worth is determined by the good deed we do, rather than by the fine emotions we feel,
Magnin, Edgar F.

8.
My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

9.
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael

10.
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace

11.
Two-thirds of promotion is motion

12.
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.

13.
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William

14.
No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offence.
Carlyle, Thomas

15.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston

16.
Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

17.
What really distinguishes this generation in all countries from earlier generations... is its determination to act, its joy in action, the assurance of being able to change things by one's own efforts.
Arendt, Hannah

18.
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
Francis De Sales, St.

19.
You have to make it happen.
Greene, Joe

20.
One mustn't allow acting to be like stockbroker -- you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.
Gielgud, John

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

22.
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin

23.
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

24.
What really matters is what you do with what you have.
Lord, Shirley

25.
He who walks with the lame learns how to limp.
Proverb, Latin

26.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Gide, Andre

27.
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

28.
I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
Lewis, Harvey Spencer

29.
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Gaulle, Charles De

30.
Before you can do something you must first be something.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

31.
Act like you expect to get into the end zone.
Paterno, Joe

32.
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
Proverb, Chinese

33.
For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.
Greene, Robert

34.
Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possible with the means you have, and as you proceed in this spirit the way will open for you to do more.
Collier, Robert

35.
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
James, William

36.
Don't wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.

37.
You have to be fast on your feet and adaptive or else a strategy is useless.
Gerstner, Lou

38.
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

39.
If you start soon enough, you won't have to run to catch up.

40.
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

41.
Some will, some don't, so what!
Proverb, American

42.
You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won-lost record of the referee.
Holcomb, John H.

43.
One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.
Roger, John

44.
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

45.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston

46.
Many have too much, but none enough.
Proverb, Danish

47.
You can't pick cherries with your back to the tree.
Morgan, John Pierpont

48.
Let us, if we must have great actions, make our own so. All action is of infinite elasticity, and the least admits of being inflated with celestial air, until it eclipses the sun and moon.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

49.
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Franklin, Benjamin

50.
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Brown, Les
