Action Quotes
-

Miguel de Cervantes -
What our Seventh Generation will have is a consequence of our actions today.
Winona LaDuke
-
If outer doors close seem to close to you, do not hesitate. Perist in inner preparations. The inner realm of thought controls all outer action. When you get the right attitude, the outer world of results and personalities must conform to it. That is the law of mind-action.
Catherine Ponder -
We are men of action. Lies do not become us.
Cary Elwes -
The food of hope is meditative action.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton -
Usually I have to leave parties early - just when the action is beginning.
Evonne Goolagong Cawley -
It's incredibly arrogant to pick and choose which incomprehensible truths we embrace. No one wants to ditch God's plan of redemption the cross, even though it doesn't make sense to us. Neither should we erase God's revealed plan of punishment because it doesn't sit well with us. As soon as we do this, we are putting God's actions in submission to our own reasoning, which is a ridiculous thing for clay to do.
Francis Chan -
The ultimate success formula: I) Decide what you want (Be precise! Clarity is power) II) Take action (because desire is not enough) III) Notice what's working or not (You don't want to continue to expend energy on an approach that's worthless IV) Change your approach until you achieve what you want (Flexibility gives you the power to create a new approach and a new result.)
Anthony Robbins
-
Character drives the story, and the story drives the book. I don't think about where the action should go, or how much there should be, until it's required by the characters. When I find myself adding conflict just because I'm afraid that the reader might get bored, I know I've taken a wrong turn somewhere.
Nick Petrie -
Action is only really compelling when it reveals character - character revealed through action, and not action for its own sake.
Paul Greengrass -
Duty is a very personal thing. It is what comes from knowing the need to take action and not just a need to urge others to do something.
Mother Teresa -
A lot of writing is a form of seeing - putting down what you see in terms of action and landscape.
Jonathan Ames -
How can I look at it and say, there it is - it's real. This is what is happening. It might even be a catalyst for more personal growth for me. It might be a blessing in disguise. It might not be. What's my best course of action? How can I be skillful?
Brad Willis -
Conscience is the virtue of the observers not the agents of action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
I always feel at home doing a little bit of action.
Isaiah Mustafa -
In the space between stimulus (what happens) and how we respond, lies our freedom to choose. Ultimately, this power to choose is what defines us as human beings. We may have limited choices but we can always choose. We can choose our thoughts, emotions, moods, our words, our actions; we can choose our values and live by principles. It is the choice of acting or being acted upon.
Stephen Covey -
Hard work is not the path to Well- Being. Feeling good is the path to Well-Being. You don't create through action; you create through vibration. And then, your vibration calls action from you.
Esther Hicks -
Once you envision something and the Universal forces come into play to help you in the creation of it, there's never again going to be enough action for you to keep up with it. You can't use the Energy that creates worlds to create a situation and then find the action to keep up with it. You have to keep envisioning. You have to keep imagining it better.
Esther Hicks -
So if you don't like your life, change it. How would you change it? You decide. There's no action without first decision. Decision is the mother or the father of action, and action is what changes your life.
Anthony Robbins -
If we take all this actions and if it turns out not be true, we have reduced pollution and have better ways to live, the downside is very small. The other way around, and we don’t act, and it turns out to be true, then we have betrayed future generations and we don’t have the right to do that.
Tony Blair
-
You want to take action every day, not sit around waiting for something to happen.
Richard Nelson Bolles -
Surely the principles of Christianity lead to action as well as meditation.
William Pitt -
I am not taking legal action against any team-mate.
Saido Berahino -
In order for us to be able to love, we need to have faith, because faith is love in action and love in action is service. In order for us to be able to love, we have to see and touch. Faith in action through prayer, faith in action through service: each is the same thing, the same love, the same compassion.
Mother Teresa
