I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.
Thoreau, Henry David
Action is greater than writing. A good man is a nobler object of contemplation than a great author. There are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written; and to write what is worthy of being read; and the
Pike, Albert
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
Eliot, George
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.
It's easy to work for somebody else; all you have to do is show up.
Warford, Rita
When deeds speak, words are nothing.

Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti
Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.
Grant, Heber J.
If you start soon enough, you won't have to run to catch up.
Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down.
Proverb
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
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
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.
Hazlitt, William
Action is character.
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace
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
Sings. Hope in every sphere of life is a privilege that attaches to action. No action, no hope.
Levi, Peter
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
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.
Rohn, Jim
The greatest potential for control tends to exist at the point where action takes place.
Allen, Loius A.
You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won-lost record of the referee.
Holcomb, John H.
He who limps is still walking.
Lec, Stanislaw J.
The secret of getting things done is to act!
David, Benjamin O.
The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.
Pancoast, Mal
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.
Einstein, Albert
Act, if you like, but you do it at your peril. Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.
Batt, Al
