Action Quotes
-
Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action to all eternity.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
-
Government should be good for the liberty of the governed, and that is when it governs to the least possible degree. It should be good for the wealth of the nation, and that is when it acts as little as possible upon the labor that produces it and when it consumes as little as possible. It should be good for the public security, and that is when it protects as much as possible, provided that the protection does not cost more than it brings in.... It is in losing their powers of action that governments improve. Each time that the governed gain space there is progress.
Augustin Thierry
-
Knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower are the three factors which motivate action; the senses, the work and the doer comprise the threefold basis of action.
Friedrich Schiller
-
There remains an experience of incomparable value. We have for once learned to see the great events of world history from below, from the perspective of the outcasts, the suspects, the maltreated - in short, from the perspective of those who suffer. Mere waiting and looking on is not Christian behavior. Christians are called to compassion and to action.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
-
Understand that all emotions serve you. Those you once thought of as negative emotions are merely calls to action. For example, if you feel frustrated it means that you believe things could be better, and they're not. This is a call to action telling you there's something you must do to make this better now. This "negative" emotion is actually a gift if you use it effectively.
Anthony Robbins
-
We knew we could put the company on the right side of history by decisive transformative action and by redefining our purpose to improving people's lives through innovation.
Frans van Houten
-
London goes beyond any boundary or convention. It contains every wish or word ever spoken, every action or gesture ever made, every harsh or noble statement ever expressed. It is illimitable. It is Infinite London.
Peter Ackroyd
-
Progressive leaders always try to take action on the forward edge of that movement, movement toward greater respect for the equal rights of all.
Martin O'Malley
-
All portions of All That Is are constantly changing, enfolding, and unfolding. All That Is, seeking to know Itself, constantly creates new versions of Itself. For this seeking Itself is a creative activity and the core of all action.
Jane Roberts
-
Where you really get in trouble is if the market is dropping and the economy's slowing down and you don't take action.
Alan Mulally
-
The New York Times had a headline on its website - Trump Turning To Ultra Wealthy To Steer Economic Policy. This doesn't sound very populist to me. Today's commerce secretary, the names being talked about for treasury secretary, I think there will be populist talk but maybe no populist action.
E. J. Dionne
-
In the 'Hurt Locker' there's a lot of me in there, a sense of humor, a man of few words and a lot of action.
Jeremy Renner
