Motivational Quotes
Action
Periods of tranquillity are seldom prolific of creative achievement. Mankind has to be stirred up.

Best Quotes about Action
Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.
Watson, Thomas J.
No, Ernest, don't talk about action. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar
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
When all is said and done, more is said than done.
Holtz, Lou
If you want a thing done, go. If not, send. The shortest answer is doing.
Proverb, English
Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.
Balzac, Honore De
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. [Matthew 7:12]
Bible
We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
Cooley, Charles Horton
This body, full of faults, has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.
Nagarjuna, Siddha
All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.
Einstein, Albert
The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.
Smith, Sydney
I didn't think; I experimented.
Roentgen, Wilhelm
Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Proverb, Italian
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
Lincoln, Abraham
A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action.. You must act as you breathe.
Clemenceau, Georges
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
Wordsworth, William
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Proverb, American
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
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Wattles, Wallace D.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Jerome, St.
In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
It isn't sufficient just to want -- you've got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.
Rosen, Richard D.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
The deed is everything, the glory is naught.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
What the mind attends to, the mind considers. What the mind constantly considers, the mind believes. What the mind believes, the mind eventually does.
Act, don't react!
When Demosthenes was asked what were the three most important aspects of oratory, he answered, Action, Action, Action.
Plutarch
How shall we learn to know ourselves? By reflection? Never; but only through action. Strive to do thy duty; then you shall know what is in thee.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
A well begun is half ended.
Plato
The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
Schwarzkopf, Norman
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
The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.
Jacobs, Joseph
Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
Garibaldi, Giuseppe
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
Act, if you like, but you do it at your peril. Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Some will, some don't, so what!
Proverb, American
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
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
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
Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Edison, Thomas A.
Life leaps like a geyser for those who drill through the rock of inertia.
Carrel, Alexis
The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen.
Iacocca, Lee
Do it now. Then it's done.
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
Hammarskjold, Dag
You can never get enough of the things you don't need, because the things you don't need can never satisfy.
Ashton, Marvin J.
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
Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.
Drucker, Peter F.
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
Roosevelt, Theodore
