Best Quotes about Action

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.

Levin, James

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Gide, Andre

Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.

Ovid

Try and trust will move mountains.

Proverb

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? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.

Zedong, Mao

The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.

Gracian, Baltasar

The greatest step is out the door.

Proverb, German

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

He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin.

Horace

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 successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.

Jacobs, Joseph

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

One mustn't allow acting to be like stockbroker -- you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.

Gielgud, John

Act quickly, think slowly.

Proverb, Greek

Action without a name, a who attached to it, is meaningless.

Arendt, Hannah

A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.

South, Bishop Robert

Reactionary: A man walking backwards with his face to the future.

Bevan, Aneurin

Never confuse motion with action.

Franklin, Benjamin

For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.

Greene, Robert

He who limps is still walking.

Lec, Stanislaw J.

There's as much risk in doing nothing as in doing something.

Crow, Trammell

There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.

Mother Teresa

A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.

Galsworthy, John

The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.

Smiles, Samuel

If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.

Company, Lanes

It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.

Stevenson, Robert Louis

Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.

Hugo, Victor

Doing leads more surely to talking than talking to doing.

Vinet

It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.

Proverb, French

The greatest potential for control tends to exist at the point where action takes place.

Allen, Loius A.

The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle.

Lichtenberg, Georg C.

It's better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.

Courteline, Georges

To begin, begin.

Zarlenga, Peter Nivio

If you stand still long enough, you'll get stuck

Hasselhoff, David

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

Aikman, Leo

Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.

Amiel, Henri Frederic

Logic will not change an emotion, but action will.

All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us.

Einstein, Albert

Believe in boys and girls and men and women of a great tomorrow that what so ever the boy soweth the man shall reap.

What an elder sees sitting; the young can't see standing.

Proverb, Ibo

Actions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.

Linall Jr. A. L.

You can't start at the top.

Levenson, Samuel

The ancestor of every action is thought.

Adams, Charles Francis
