Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid.
Carlyle, Thomas

2.
You have to make it happen.
Greene, Joe

3.
My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

4.
No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offence.
Carlyle, Thomas

5.
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.

6.
You won't skid if you stay in a rut.
Hubbard, Kin

7.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. [James 1:22]
Bible

8.
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.

9.
A gold medal is a wonderful thing, but if you're not enough without the medal, you'll never be enough with it.
Movie, Cool Runnings

10.
We will burn that bridge when we come to it.
Gorski, Nick

11.
Action is character.

12.
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

13.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American

14.
Action is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

15.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Dyer, Wayne

16.
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

17.
So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.
Iacocca, Lee

18.
Take action in order to move toward your goals.
Brown, Les

19.
Those old faces, in Pasadena, California, and Tucson, Arizona, and Dallas, crumpling in hatred and fear at the mention of the United Nations or those liberals in government who constitute for them the fifth column of communism, yearn for an America that is as far from the society of the present as is the extended family system in village India.
Segal, Ronald

20.
Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
Carlyle, Thomas

21.
Let your hook always be cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.
Ovid

22.
We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.
Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.
Watson, Thomas J.

24.
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, If you are not willing to move your feet.

25.
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean

26.
Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing.

27.
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

28.
When we don't have what we like, we must like what we have.
Proverb, French

29.
Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

30.
Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

31.
Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.
Rowan, Carl

32.
One mustn't allow acting to be like stockbroker -- you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.
Gielgud, John

33.
If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot.
Townsend, Robert

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

35.
It's no good agreeing with a person who can't make up his mind.

36.
The only way you can bring in the harvest in the fall is to plant in the spring, and to water, weed, fertilize in the summer

37.
Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.
Marden, Orison Swett

38.
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

39.
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl

40.
We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.
Robbins, Anthony

41.
Whatever fortune brings, don't be afraid of doing things.
Milne, A. A.

42.
He is rich that is satisfied.
Fuller, Thomas

43.
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.

44.
Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor

45.
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Viscott, David

Proudhon, Pierre Joseph

47.
Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.
Whitehead, Alfred North

48.
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

49.
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
