Best Quotes about Action

Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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

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

Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.

Roosevelt, Theodore

This body, full of faults, has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.

Nagarjuna, Siddha

The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.

Jacobs, Joseph

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

Whatever fortune brings, don't be afraid of doing things.

Milne, A. A.

Stone, W. Clement

10.

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

11.

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

12.

Action is the real measure of intelligence.

Hill, Napoleon

13.

He is rich that is satisfied.

Fuller, Thomas

14.

You can never get enough of the things you don't need, because the things you don't need can never satisfy.

Ashton, Marvin J.

15.

'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.

Eliot, George

16.

The road of life can only reveal itself as it is traveled; each turn in the road reveals a surprise. Man's future is hidden.

17.

I didn't think; I experimented.

Roentgen, Wilhelm

18.

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.
