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.

Best Quotes about Action
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
Do something everyday for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test.
James, William
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William
I go on working for the same reason that a hen goes on laying eggs.
Mencken, H. L.
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
Some people forget to plant in the spring, idle away the summer hours and then expect to reap in the fall.
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
The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
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 can't plow a field by turning it over in your mind.
You can't start at the top.
Levenson, Samuel
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North
He who limps is still walking.
Lec, Stanislaw J.
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace
The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.
Jacobs, Joseph
Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.
South, Bishop Robert
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Disney, Walt
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston
This body, full of faults, has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.
Nagarjuna, Siddha
If you want a thing done, go. If not, send. The shortest answer is doing.
Proverb, English
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.
If you act like you know what you're doing, you can do anything you want -- except neurosurgery.
Lowenstein, John
The action is best that secures the greatest happiness for the greatest number.
Hutcheson, Francis
Don't wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.
One of the marks of a 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
All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.
Einstein, Albert
Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.
The person of intellect is lost unless they unite with energy of character. When we have the lantern of Diogenese we must also have his staff.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
Let us be tried by our actions.
Motto
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
It isn't sufficient just to want -- you've got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.
Rosen, Richard D.
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro
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
Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.
Ovid
What you are will show in what you do.
Edison, Thomas A.
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
From small beginnings come great things.
Proverb, American
You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won-lost record of the referee.
Holcomb, John H.
One of the best lessons children learn through video games is standing still will get them killed quicker than anything else.
Milea, Jinx
Let every man or woman here, if you never hear me again, remember this, that if you wish to be great at all, you must begin where you are and with what you are. He who would be great anywhere must first be great in his own Philadelphia.
Conwell, Russel H.
Be both the gardener and the rose.
He is rich that is satisfied.
Fuller, Thomas
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.
In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Leap, and the net will appear.
Cameron, Julie
Never confuse motion with action.
Franklin, Benjamin
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
Graham, Martha
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag
Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in.
Confucius
When a man dies, what does not leave him? The voice of a dead man goes into fire, his breath into wind, his eyes into the sun, his mind into the moon, his hearing into the quarters of heaven, his body into the land cheerfully. earth, his spirit into space
