Quotations
Quotes:
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
View quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.
View quotes by James Baldwin

View quotes by William James
Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.
View quotes by Joel A Barker
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
View quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.

A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.

Suit the action to the world, the world to the action, with this special observance, that you overstep not the modesty of nature.

View quotes by Henry Miller

Action itself, so long as I am convinced that it is right action, gives me satisfaction.
View quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
Meditation is the life of the soul: Action, the soul of meditation. And honour the reward of action.
View quotes by Francis Quarles
Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
View quotes by Virginia Woolf
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.
