Motivational Quotes
Action
The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.

Best Quotes about Action
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Noll, Chuck
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
Action is character.
From small beginnings come great things.
Proverb, American
You have to make it happen.
Greene, Joe
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Brown, Les
If you stand still long enough, you'll get stuck
Hasselhoff, David
Those who are more adapted to the active life can prepare themselves for contemplation in the practice of the active life, while those who are more adapted to the contemplative life can take upon themselves the works of the active life so as to become yet more apt for contemplation.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand -- and melting like a snowflake.
Ray, Marie Beyon
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
We will not know unless we begin.
Zinn, Howard
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
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
When all is said the greatest action is to limit and isolate one's self.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Roosevelt, Theodore
Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian
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
The curse of me and my nation is that we always think things can be bettered by immediate action of some sort, any sort rather than no sort.
Pound, Ezra
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
It is not whether your words or actions are tough or gentle; it is the spirit behind your actions and words that announces your inner state.
Ching Ning Chu
Keep your head and your heart going in the right direction and you will not have to worry about your feet.
Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.
Rowan, Carl
We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.
Robbins, Anthony
Do something everyday for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test.
James, William
All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.
Einstein, Albert
A well begun is half ended.
Plato
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do, if it were my last of life.
Edwards, Edward
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, If you are not willing to move your feet.
You can't aim a duck to death.
Boardman, Gael
You won't skid if you stay in a rut.
Hubbard, Kin
The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
Bronowski, Jacob
Better to try something and fail than to try nothing and succeed.
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
A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.
Galsworthy, John
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
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
Eliot, George
So many fail because they don't get started -- they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin.
Stone, W. Clement
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.
One thought driven home is better than three left on base.
Liter, James
Big words seldom accompany good deeds.
Proverb, Danish
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Gaulle, Charles De
For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.
Greene, Robert
Do it now! can affect every phase of your life. It can help you do the things you should do but don't feel like doing. It can keep you from procrastinating when an unpleasant duty faces you. But it can also help you do those things that you want to do. It helps you seize those precious moments that, if lost, may never be retrieved.
Hill, Napoleon
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Proverb, French
Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
Begin where you are; work where you are; the hour which you are now wasting, dreaming of some far off success may be crowded with grand possibilities.
Marden, Orison Swett
All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.
Einstein, Albert
Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.
Lu Xun
