Best Quotes about Action
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often
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.
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
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
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
It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.
If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.
Maharshi, Ramana
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

Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.
Schmidt, Helmut
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Churchill, Winston
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
It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration.
Troward, Thomas
This body, full of faults, has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.
Nagarjuna, Siddha
The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.
Carlyle, Thomas
In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
If you want a trait, act as if you already have the trait.
James, William
He who walks with the lame learns how to limp.
Proverb, Latin
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
Aikman, Leo
All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.
Einstein, Albert
Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its effects, present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt.
Cousins, Norman
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible
Don't think, just do.
Horton, Reiko
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.
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
Only the actions of the just smell sweet and blossom in the dust.
Shirley, James
The only way to start is to start.
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
Woolf, Virginia
I go on working for the same reason that a hen goes on laying eggs.
Mencken, H. L.
I hear and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Proverb, Chinese
Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action for all eternity.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
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
Have a bias toward action -- let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Thalheimer, Richard
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl
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
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
How long will they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?
Marley, Bob
Winning starts with beginning.
Schuller, Robert H.
Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
Garibaldi, Giuseppe
It is better to rust out than wear out.
Whitefield, George
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.
When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch
Your difficulty and my difficulty and the difficulty of every individual who ever desired to achieve something worthwhile, comes in the movement.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
Nin, Anais
Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian
I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
Schuller, Robert H.
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
