Best Quotes about Action
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
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.
Smith, Sydney
To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
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
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle
Begin somewhere: you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
Smith, Liz
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Saunders
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
If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
Viscott, David
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
I like these words -- they seem to suggest action: If you hear a kind word spoken Of some worthy soul you know, It may fill his heart with sunshine If you'd only tell him so. If a deed, however humble, helps you On your way to go, Seek the one whose hand has helped you. Seek him out and tell him so. If your heart is touched and tender Towards sinner log and low, It might help him to do better If you could only tell him so.
The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path.
D'Alembert
Many are called but few get up.
Herford, Oliver
In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
Kushner, Rabbi Harold S.
Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
Nehru, Jawaharlal
The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.
Jacobs, Joseph
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Proverb, French
Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.
Rowan, Carl
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Cooley, Charles Horton
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William
What you are will show in what you do.
Edison, Thomas A.
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
We will not know unless we begin.
Zinn, Howard
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
People sitting on top of the world, usually arrived there standing up.
You prove your worth with your actions, not with your mouth.
Riley, Pat
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, If you are not willing to move your feet.
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way. We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
Aristotle
We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.
Robbins, Anthony
We will burn that bridge when we come to it.
Gorski, Nick
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes
Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.
Collingwood, Robin G.
Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.
Dyer, Wayne
Sings. Hope in every sphere of life is a privilege that attaches to action. No action, no hope.
Levi, Peter
Thought is the organizing factor in man, intersected between the causal primary instincts and the resulting actions.
Einstein, Albert
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.
Carnegie, Andrew
Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.
Gaulle, Charles De
A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
Robbins, Anthony
One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more.
Roger, John
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
Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
Hill, Napoleon
I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
Lewis, Harvey Spencer
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.
Taylor, Russell C.
The soul is made for action, and cannot rest till it be employed. Idleness is its rust. Unless it will up and think and taste and see, all is in vain.
Traherne, Thomas
Some will, some don't, so what!
Proverb, American
Action is character.
It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration.
Troward, Thomas
The action is best that secures the greatest happiness for the greatest number.
Hutcheson, Francis
The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Proverb, Chinese
