Best Quotes about Action

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

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Rogers, Will

Try and trust will move mountains.

Proverb

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

Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.

Stevenson, Robert Louis

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

Amiel, Henri Frederic

Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.

Bergson, Henri L.

One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.

Roger, John

Let your actions always speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress. The next time you are tempted to boast, just place your fist in a full pail of water, and when you remove it, the hole remaining will give you a correct measure of your importance.

Mandino, Og

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

Proverb, Chinese

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

Carlyle, Thomas

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

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

Gide, Andre

If your sword's too short, add to its length by taking one step forward.

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.

Robbins, Anthony

Doing nothing is the most tiresome job in the world because you cannot quit and rest.

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

A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.

Calderon de la Barca, Pedro

So many fail because they don't get started -- they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin.

Stone, W. Clement

He is rich that is satisfied.

Fuller, Thomas

Action is the real measure of intelligence.

Hill, Napoleon

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

Holcomb, John H.

Logic will not change an emotion, but action will.

Action expresses priorities.

Garfield, Charles A.

It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.

Stevenson, Robert Louis

Thought is the organizing factor in man, intersected between the causal primary instincts and the resulting actions.

Einstein, Albert

Do it now. Then it's done.

Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.

Picasso, Pablo

One thought driven home is better than three left on base.

Liter, James

It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.

You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.

Hazlitt, William

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

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

He who walks with the lame learns how to limp.

Proverb, Latin

The secret of getting things done is to act!

David, Benjamin O.

Reactionary: A man walking backwards with his face to the future.

Bevan, Aneurin

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

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

Whittier, John Greenleaf

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

Graffiti

It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.

Eliot, George

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

No one will do it for you.

Stein, Ben

A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.

Galsworthy, John

Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
