Best Quotes about Action
Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
Eliot, George
Action expresses priorities.
Garfield, Charles A.
Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.
Amiel, Henri Frederic
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
In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
Kushner, Rabbi Harold S.
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
Proverb, Chinese
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Proverb, French
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
You can't start at the top.
Levenson, Samuel
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.
Smith, Sydney
I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.
Mandino, Og
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.
Clemenceau, Georges
One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
Wanamaker, John
Your difficulty and my difficulty and the difficulty of every individual who ever desired to achieve something worthwhile, comes in the movement.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio
Many are called but few get up.
Herford, Oliver
What an elder sees sitting; the young can't see standing.
Proverb, Ibo
You have to be fast on your feet and adaptive or else a strategy is useless.
Gerstner, Lou
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American
Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.
Rowan, Carl
Build today, then strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure. Shall tomorrow find its place.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag
Some will, some don't, so what!
Proverb, American
As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.
Lu Xun
Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing.
Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.
Caddy, Eileen
The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path.
D'Alembert
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible
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
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
Aikman, Leo
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.
You can't plow a field by turning it over in your mind.
The soul is made for action, and cannot rest till it be employed. Idleness is its rust. Unless it will up and think and taste and see, all is in vain.
Traherne, Thomas
What you are will show in what you do.
Edison, Thomas A.
Sings. Hope in every sphere of life is a privilege that attaches to action. No action, no hope.
Levi, Peter
It is not whether your words or actions are tough or gentle; it is the spirit behind your actions and words that announces your inner state.
Ching Ning Chu
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Mother Teresa
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
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
Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.
Drucker, Peter F.
All human actions are equivalent... and all are on principle doomed to failure.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
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
Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself.
Saying, Zen
Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes
When deeds speak, words are nothing.
Proverb, African
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
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
Holtz, Lou
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
Croce, Benedetto
