Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
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

2.
Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.
Pine, Arthur

3.
Backbone beats wishbone every time.

4.
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

5.
What really matters is what you do with what you have.
Lord, Shirley

6.
It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.

7.
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

8.
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often

9.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders

10.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
Aurelius, Marcus

11.
Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian

12.
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

13.
Sings. Hope in every sphere of life is a privilege that attaches to action. No action, no hope.
Levi, Peter

14.
You can't plow a field by turning it over in your mind.

15.
Better to try something and fail than to try nothing and succeed.

16.
Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
Evans, Richard L.

17.
We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Aristotle

18.
The person of intellect is lost unless they unite with energy of character. When we have the lantern of Diogenese we must also have his staff.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

19.
Between eighteen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.
Malraux, Andre

20.
One of the best lessons children learn through video games is standing still will get them killed quicker than anything else.
Milea, Jinx

21.
To talk goodness is not good... only to do it is.
Proverb, Chinese

22.
People say to me, You were a roaring success. How did you do it? I go back to what my parents taught me. Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make something happen.
Iacocca, Lee

23.
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
Croce, Benedetto

24.
The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.
Carlyle, Thomas

25.
Action is character.

26.
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

27.
It is better to rust out than wear out.
Whitefield, George

28.
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.
Mandino, Og

29.
Let us be tried by our actions.
Motto

30.
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

31.
If it were done when 'tis done, then t'were well. It were done quickly.
Shakespeare, William

32.
Allow motion to equal emotion.
Hubbard, Elbert

33.
Act, don't react!

34.
The view only changes for the lead dog.
Sergeant Preston of The Yukon

35.
This body, full of faults, has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.
Nagarjuna, Siddha

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

37.
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

38.
Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed, and only deeds will suffice.
Whittier, John Greenleaf

39.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Jerome, St.

40.
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Nehru, Jawaharlal

41.
No, Ernest, don't talk about action. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

42.
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

43.
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Pilgrim, Peace

44.
I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.
Thoreau, Henry David

45.
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

46.
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

47.
The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Quarles, Francis

48.
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag
