Kushner, Rabbi Harold S.

20.
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

21.
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.

Aquinas, St. Thomas

23.
Many are called but few get up.
Herford, Oliver

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 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.

25.
Let your performance do the thinking.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson

How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive o all they do, and of all they are willing to endure.
Inge, Dean William R.

27.
How shall we learn to know ourselves? By reflection? Never; but only through action. Strive to do thy duty; then you shall know what is in thee.

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.
Hill, Napoleon

32.
Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.
Aurelius, Marcus

33.
The secret of getting things done is to act!
David, Benjamin O.

34.
Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing.

35.
Doing is a quantum leap from imagining. Thinking about swimming isn't much like actually getting in the water. Actually getting in the water can take your breath away. The defense force inside of us wants us to be cautious, to stay away from anything as intense as a new kind of action. Its job is to protect us, and it categorically avoids anything resembling danger. But it's often wrong. Anything worth doing is worth doing too soon.

Bacon, Francis

44.
A human action becomes genuinely important when it springs from the soil of a clear-sighted awareness of the temporality and the ephemerally of everything human. It is only this awareness that can breathe any greatness into an action.
