Action Quotes
There is a price to pay for most of our actions. For every action, there is a reaction.
Giancarlo Esposito
“General" stands here for the individual who goes into action, whether freely or forcedly. Since anarchy offers him an especially favorable charge, this type is permanent today. Thus, "general" has a universal rather than a special meaning. It can be replaced ad libitum. It refers not to a profession but to a condition. The latter may also crop up in a coolie, in which case it is particularly effective.
Ernst Junger
I always feel at home doing a little bit of action.
Isaiah Mustafa
Those who take action have a disproportionate impact. The power of one is to move many.
Elizabeth May
Are there any military actions that the president of the United States may not order on his own authority? If so, what are they? Bit by bit, decade by decade, Congress has abdicated its assigned role in authorizing war. Today, it merely rubberstamps what presidents decide to do (or simply stays mum). Who does this deference to an imperial presidency benefit? Have U.S. policies thereby become more prudent, enlightened, and successful?
Andrew Bacevich
I'm equally terrified of both comedy and drama. The only thing I'm really comfortable with is action.
Michael Shannon
I'm just grasping everything, getting as much knowledge as I can, and continuing to learn and not being afraid to take challenges and actually take action.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
Mistakes are just 'mis-takes,' or an action that we took that missed.
Bill Crawford
In the life of the human spirit, words are action, much more so than many of us realize who live in countries where freedom of expression is taken for granted. The leaders of totalitarian nations understand this very well. The proof is that words are precisely the action for which dissidents in those countries are being persecuted.
Jimmy Carter
Challenges of historic import threaten America's future. Action on the deficit, economy, energy, health care and much more is imperative, yet our legislative institutions fail to act. Congress must be reformed.
Evan Bayh
It's not leadership by position that allows people to succeed; it's the capacity to influence the thoughts, the feelings, the emotions, and the actions of other human beings.
Anthony Robbins
Think less. Take action. Be authentic.
Claire Shipman
Maybe the time has arrived that the whole world must sit still for a while and meditate on the question whether we want to follow the "law of the jungle" or there is a possibility of a changed course of action. Shall we accept that it is the unavoidable fate of humans to obey this law of the jungle or we have the possibility to overcome it by a quantic jump in our understanding and consciousness?
George Vithoulkas
You can't make an action movie without action, and so, you can't make a romance movie without romance.
George Tillman, Jr.
If there is something that you have to do, resist the temptation to do it under duress. Ask yourself, "What's the worst thing that would happen if I didn't do this?" And if you can get away with not doing it at all, don't do it. And then imagine what would it feel like to have this done. Spend a day or two, if you can, just 15 minutes here, 5 minutes here, 2 minutes here, here and here, imagining it completed in a way that pleases you! And then, the next time you decide that you're going to take action about it, the action is going to be a whole lot easier.
Esther Hicks
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
