Best Quotes about Action
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
An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.
Howells, William Dean
Act, don't react!
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
No one will do it for you.
Stein, Ben
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible
Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
Curcio, Joan L.
All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.
Zedong, Mao
Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.
Rowan, Carl
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
The best way to get something done is to begin.
Don't look back, just keep on walking.
We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.
Eliot, Sir John
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren
Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.
Schmidt, Helmut
Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heine, Heinrich
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
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Kelland, Clarence Buddinton
To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last --but eat you he will.
Reagan, Ronald
It's easy to work for somebody else; all you have to do is show up.
Warford, Rita
Then indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; What you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
You have to be fast on your feet and adaptive or else a strategy is useless.
Gerstner, Lou
Thought is the organizing factor in man, intersected between the causal primary instincts and the resulting actions.
Einstein, Albert
Talk doesn't cook rice.
Proverb, Chinese
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
Lincoln, Abraham
If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
Maharshi, Ramana
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American
Action is the real measure of intelligence.
Hill, Napoleon
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Gracian, Baltasar
Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.
Hansen, Mark Victor
Act like you expect to get into the end zone.
Paterno, Joe
Winning starts with beginning.
Schuller, Robert H.
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.
Lincoln, Abraham
Doing nothing is the most tiresome job in the world because you cannot quit and rest.
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
James, William
No, Ernest, don't talk about action. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
Eliot, George
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
He who considers too much will perform little.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Gide, Andre
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Stone, W. Clement
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Franklin, Benjamin
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Brown, Les
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin
He who limps is still walking.
Lec, Stanislaw J.
Either move or be moved.
Powell, Colin
