Motivational Quotes
Action
The search for the perfect venture can turn into procrastination. Your idea may or may not have merit. The key is to get started.

Best Quotes about Action
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
Wanamaker, John
Nothing wilts faster than laurels that have been rested upon.
Rowan, Carl
If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
Company, Lanes
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
Act, don't react!
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.
Brown, Les
The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
Bronowski, Jacob
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
If it were done when 'tis done, then t'were well. It were done quickly.
Shakespeare, William
Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Buffett, Warren
Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself.
Proverb, Chinese
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Berger, Sally
We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
Curcio, Joan L.
No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
The best way to get something done is to begin.
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
A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro
The action is best that secures the greatest happiness for the greatest number.
Hutcheson, Francis
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
In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Leap, and the net will appear.
Cameron, Julie
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.
Aristotle
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Sandburg, Carl
Doing leads more surely to talking than talking to doing.
Vinet
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk -- and to act.
Maltz, Maxwell
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
Clarke, James Freeman
Action is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar
One of the best lessons children learn through video games is standing still will get them killed quicker than anything else.
Milea, Jinx
Do it now. Then it's done.
Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old -- old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don't. In both cases we have to DO something.
Teekens, Inga
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Pilgrim, Peace
To talk goodness is not good... only to do it is.
Proverb, Chinese
Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possible with the means you have, and as you proceed in this spirit the way will open for you to do more.
Collier, Robert
Take action in order to move toward your goals.
Brown, Les
Talk doesn't cook rice.
Proverb, Chinese
People sitting on top of the world, usually arrived there standing up.
It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
Bronte, Charlotte
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
Gaulle, Charles De
When deeds speak, words are nothing.
Proverb, African
Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Proverb, Chinese
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.
Some people forget to plant in the spring, idle away the summer hours and then expect to reap in the fall.
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
Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Heine, Heinrich
'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.
Eliot, George
