Action

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
Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
Bergson, Henri L.

The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs
Proverb, Irish

3.
It's better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.
Courteline, Georges

4.
If your sword's too short, add to its length by taking one step forward.

5.
Reactionary: A man walking backwards with his face to the future.
Bevan, Aneurin

6.
Have a bias toward action -- let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Thalheimer, Richard

Lavater, Johann Kaspar

A well begun is half ended.
Plato

13.
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

14.
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.
Sher, Barbara

15.
Before you can do something you must first be something.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.
Be both the gardener and the rose.

17.
It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
Bronte, Charlotte

18.
When we don't have what we like, we must like what we have.
Proverb, French

19.
The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.
Smiles, Samuel

20.
Doing nothing is the most tiresome job in the world because you cannot quit and rest.

21.
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Disraeli, Benjamin

22.
I go on working for the same reason that a hen goes on laying eggs.
Mencken, H. L.

23.
Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Edison, Thomas A.

24.
One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.
Roger, John

25.
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean

26.
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
Smith, Liz

27.
Action is the product of the qualities inherent in nature.
Bhagavad Gita

28.
Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.
South, Bishop Robert

29.
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do, if it were my last of life.
Edwards, Edward

30.
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way. We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
Aristotle

31.
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro

32.
Action is the real measure of intelligence.
Hill, Napoleon

33.
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren

34.
The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
Bronowski, Jacob

35.
Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian

36.
Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.
Holtz, Lou

Letterman, David

38.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
Churchill, Winston

It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.
Batt, Al

40.
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
Proverb, Mexican

41.
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

42.
Your difficulty and my difficulty and the difficulty of every individual who ever desired to achieve something worthwhile, comes in the movement.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio

43.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
Ovid

44.
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

45.
Some people forget to plant in the spring, idle away the summer hours and then expect to reap in the fall.

46.
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

47.
We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.
Robbins, Anthony

48.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston

49.
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand -- and melting like a snowflake.
Ray, Marie Beyon

50.
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
Croce, Benedetto
