Action Quotes
Reality is a prison, where one vegetates and always will. All the rest - thought, action - is just a pastime, mental or physical. What counts then, is to come to grips with reality. The rest can go.
Cesare Pavese
The safest thing is always to try to convert everything that is in us and around us into action; let the others talk and argue about it as they please.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Christian life is action: not a speculating, not a debating, but a doing. One thing, and only one, in this world has eternity stamped upon it. Feelings pass; resolves and thoughts pass; opinions change. What you have done lasts - lasts in you. Through ages, through eternity, what you have done for Christ, that, and only that, you are.
Frederick William Robertson

Joel Silver
Wars and conflicts begin in the mind, then they are expressed in words and then executed through physical action, so personal transformation is intricately connected with the social and political transformation.
Satish Kumar
I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.
Clive Owen

Bill Clinton
I collect action figures, mostly. I have a Batman room, with just Batman stuff, and I have a Disney collection.
Jason Marsden
Love is the vital essence that pervades and permeates, from the center to the circumference, the graduating circles of all thought and action. Love is the talisman of human weal and woe -the open sesame to every soul.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I do enjoy doing action quite clearly, but I also really like doing comedy.
Chris Pine
I watched the coral reefs that I studied as a student vanish in the blink of an eye, and for decades I wrote and spoke of ocean obituaries. But big scary problems without solutions lead to apathy, not action.
Nancy Knowlton
If you want to be a real human being - a real woman, a real man - you cannot tolerate things which put you to indignation, to outrage. You must stand up. I always say to people, 'Look around; look at what makes you unhappy, what makes you furious, and then engage yourself in some action.'
Stephane Hessel
Conditions are never just right. People who delay action until all factors are favourable do nothing.
William Feather
