- Woolf, Virginia

Best Quotes about Action

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.

Robbins, Anthony

D'Alembert

Lord, Shirley

Proverb, American

Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.

Heine, Heinrich

Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.

Caddy, Eileen

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

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

Disraeli, Benjamin

It is better to rust out than wear out.

13.

All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown?

Zedong, Mao

14.

Let your actions always speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress.

Ovid

24.

Zinn, Howard

25.

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

26.
