Best Quotes about Action

No sooner said than done -- so acts your man of worth.

Ennius, Quintus

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

Confucius

Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.

Ovid

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

Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.

Pauling, Linus

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

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.

As our case is new, we must think and act anew.

Lincoln, Abraham

I will act as if what I do makes a difference.

James, William

10.

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

11.

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

Quarles, Francis

12.

No one will do it for you.

Stein, Ben

13.

Doing leads more surely to talking than talking to doing.

Vinet

14.

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

15.

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

Angelou, Maya

16.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. [James 1:22]

Bible

17.

There's as much risk in doing nothing as in doing something.

Crow, Trammell

18.

The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.

Schwarzkopf, Norman

19.

Good actions ennoble us, and we are the sons of our own deeds.

Cervantes, Miguel De

20.

The only way you can bring in the harvest in the fall is to plant in the spring, and to water, weed, fertilize in the summer

21.

Effective action is always unjust.

Anouilh, Jean

22.

Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.

Amiel, Henri Frederic

23.

We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.

Vivekananda, Swami

24.

Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.

Dhammapada

25.

You prove your worth with your actions, not with your mouth.

Riley, Pat

26.

The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.

Rohn, Jim

27.

Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

28.

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

Gerstner, Lou

29.

Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.

Pine, Arthur

30.

Two-thirds of promotion is motion

31.

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

32.

Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.

Roosevelt, Franklin D.

33.

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

34.

I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts.

Mann, Horace

35.

Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.

Holtz, Lou
