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.
No, Ernest, don't talk about action. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

2.
We will not know unless we begin.
Zinn, Howard

3.
If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
James, William

4.
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

5.
Existence was given us for action. Our worth is determined by the good deed we do, rather than by the fine emotions we feel,
Magnin, Edgar F.

6.
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

7.
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren

8.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Turner, Ted

9.
Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
Evans, Richard L.

10.
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.
Havel, Vaclav

11.
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk -- and to act.
Maltz, Maxwell

12.
The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

13.
Many are called but few get up.
Herford, Oliver

14.
It is better to rust out than wear out.
Whitefield, George

15.
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle

16.
Don't be a spectator, don't let life pass you by.
Holtz, Lou

17.
For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.
Greene, Robert

18.
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
Peale, Norman Vincent

19.
Never mind your happiness; do your duty.
Durant, William J.

20.
One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
Wanamaker, John

21.
It was prettily devised of Aesop, The fly sat on the axle tree of the chariot wheel and said,what dust do I raise!
Bacon, Francis

22.
He who walks with the lame learns how to limp.
Proverb, Latin

23.
It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.

24.
Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself.
Saying, Zen

25.
No one will do it for you.
Stein, Ben

26.
The only way to start is to start.

27.
Don't think, just do.
Horton, Reiko

28.
Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.
Letterman, David

29.
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
Smith, Liz

30.
Action makes more fortune than caution.
Clapiers, Luc De

31.
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
Gracian, Baltasar

32.
To begin, begin.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio

33.
Keep your head and your heart going in the right direction and you will not have to worry about your feet.

34.
Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.
Ovid

35.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Dyer, Wayne

36.
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

37.
You can't pick cherries with your back to the tree.
Morgan, John Pierpont

A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
Calvin, John

39.
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

40.
Let us, if we must have great actions, make our own so. All action is of infinite elasticity, and the least admits of being inflated with celestial air, until it eclipses the sun and moon.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

41.
One thought driven home is better than three left on base.

Nin, Anais

46.
Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do it.

47.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston

48.
You can't start at the top.
Levenson, Samuel

49.
Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.
Schmidt, Helmut
