Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
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.

2.
If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement.
Gramsci, Antonio

3.
We are always getting ready to live, but never living.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

4.
It's better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.
Courteline, Georges

5.
Act, if you like, but you do it at your peril. Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

7.
For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.
Greene, Robert

8.
No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson

9.
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
Holtz, Lou

10.
The best way to get something done is to begin.

11.
As one acts and conducts himself, so does he become. The doer of good becomes good. The doer of evil becomes evil. One becomes virtuous by virtuous action, bad by bad action.
Upanishads, Veda

12.
I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Keller, Helen

13.
He who has no taste for order, will be often wrong in his judgment, and seldom considerate or conscientious in his actions.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

14.
The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river.
Perot, H. Ross

15.
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.
Horace

16.
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Viscott, David

17.
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

18.
What really distinguishes this generation in all countries from earlier generations... is its determination to act, its joy in action, the assurance of being able to change things by one's own efforts.
Arendt, Hannah

19.
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

20.
Action is character.

21.
Now is the season for sailing; for already the chattering swallow is come and the pleasant west wind; the meadows bloom and the sea, tossed up with waves and rough blasts, has sunk to silence. Weigh thine anchors and unloose thy hawsers, O Mariner, and sail with all thy canvas set.
Tarentum, Leonidas of

22.
This body, full of faults, has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.
Nagarjuna, Siddha

23.
Be both the gardener and the rose.

24.
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Franklin, Benjamin

25.
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

26.
I will act as if what I do makes a difference.
James, William

27.
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

28.
Action makes more fortune than caution.
Clapiers, Luc De

29.
Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.
Letterman, David

30.
Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
Landon, Michael

31.
You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought.
Holmes, Marjorie

32.
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
Proverb, Mexican

33.
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

34.
People sitting on top of the world, usually arrived there standing up.

35.
You can't pick cherries with your back to the tree.
Morgan, John Pierpont

36.
Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly.
Schuller, Robert H.

37.
Two-thirds of promotion is motion

38.
A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.
South, Bishop Robert

40.
Next in importance to having a good aim is to recognize when to pull the trigger.
Letterman, Elmer G.

41.
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.

42.
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Stone, W. Clement

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

Sings. Hope in every sphere of life is a privilege that attaches to action. No action, no hope.
Levi, Peter

45.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

46.
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Roosevelt, Theodore

47.
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
Aikman, Leo

48.
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

49.
Oh, I'm not going to do anything to them. The thought that I might will be enough to keep them going.
Bowkett, Chris

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