If
you limit your actions in life to things
that nobody
can possibly find
fault
with, you will not do much.
Charles

What we think, or what
we know, or what we believe, is in the end,
of little consequence. The
only thing of consequence is what we do.
John
Ruskin

It's the action, not the fruit of the action,
that's important. You have to
do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may
not be in your time,
that there will be any fruit. But that doesn't mean
you stop doing the right
thing. You may never know what results come from your
action. But if
you do nothing, there will be no result.
Mohandas

I have never been bored
an hour in my life. I get up every morning
wondering what new strange glamorous
thing is going to happen and it
happens at fairly regular intervals.
Lady
Luck has been good to me
and I fancy she has been good to everyone. Only
some people are dour,
and when she gives them the come hither with her eyes,
they look down
or turn away and lift an eyebrow. But me,
I give her the wink
and away we go.
William Allen White
Action is indeed the sole
medium of expression for ethics.
Jane Addams

I
think there is something more important than believing:
Action! The world is full of dreamers, but there aren't enough who
will
move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize
their vision.

Just as iron rusts from
disuse,
even so
does inaction spoil the intellect.

So much attention is
paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence
and cruelty
and greed with all
their tragic effects, that too little
attention is paid
to the passive sins,
such as apathy and laziness,
which in the long run
can have a more
devastating and
destructive effect upon society than the others.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Dwell not
on the past. Use it to
illustrate
a point, then leave it behind.
Nothing really matters except what
you do now in this instant of time.
From this moment onwards you can
be an entirely different person,
filled with love and understanding,
ready with an outstretched hand,
uplifted and positive in every
thought and deed.

This nation was built by
people who took risks--pioneers who were not afraid
of the wilderness, business
people who were not afraid of failure,
scientists who were not afraid of the
truth, thinkers who were not afraid
of progress, dreamers who were not afraid
of action.

To obtain happiness in another
world we need only to believe

to secure it in this world, we must

There

Francis

A
little friendship, a little sympathy, a little sociability, a little human
toil. . . is needed in every nook and corner. Therefore search and
see if
there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.
Albert Schweitzer

One is responsible for one's own life.
Passivity provides no protection.
Madeleine Kunin |

I do not believe
in a fate that falls on people however they act;
but I do believe in a fate
that falls on them unless they act.
G.K. Chesterton |

Every
person feels instinctively that all
the beautiful sentiments in the
world
weigh less than a single lovely action.
James

| My
view is that to sit back and let fate play its hand out and never
influence it is not the way people were meant to operate.
John

A
person who is good for anything ought not to calculate
the chance of living or dying; he or she ought only to consider
whether in doing anything he or she is doing right or wrong--
acting the part of a good person or a bad person.
Plato

Life
is to be lived. If you have to support yourself,
you had bloody
well better find some way that is going
to be interesting. And you
don’t do that
by sitting around wondering about yourself.

Nothing is more common
in irrational moments than obliterating your
awareness that you have chosen to do what you are doing; you
regard
the action as if it were somehow happening of its own
accord. Do you
want to grow in self-esteem? Own your
actions. Take conscious
responsibility for what you are doing while you are doing
it. For example,
when sleeping with someone you would be ashamed to be seen
with, do
not tell yourself, This really isn't me. Or when
striking your child, do not
tell yourself, I'm not myself. You will learn that
there are actions you are
unable to permit yourself once you take full responsibility
for doing what you do.
Nathaniel
Branden

Do
nondoing, strive for nonstriving, savor the flavorless,
regard the
small as important, make much of little, repay enmity with
virtue;
plan for difficulty when it is still easy, do the great
while it is still small.
The most difficult things in the world must be done while
they are easy;
the greatest things in the world must be done while they are
small.
Lao-tzu |

Never
has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail
and
scale, which has carried its owner over even one inch of
ground. Never
has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which
prevented one
crime. Never has there been a scroll, even such as the
one I hold, which
so much as a penny or produced a single word of
acclamation. Action,
alone, is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment,
this scroll, my
plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the
food and drink which
will nourish my success.
I will act now.

The
critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something.
It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are
few
who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not
next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a
dreamer.
Nolan Bushnell |

A
life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and
spiritually. One must fight for a life of action,
not reaction.
Rita Mae Brown |

All of the great
ideas, without action, become stale and
useless. The
key to turning dreams into
reality is action. People who have great
ideas
are a dime a dozen. People who act on their
dreams and ideas
are the select few, but they are
the ones who gain the wealth, wealth
and wisdom that
is available. Someone will act today.
Let it be you.
Jim Rohn

You can't make
yourself feel positive, but you can choose how

It
has been noted that actions speak louder than words. Truth
is, I have
found that during many situations in life, words are just
noise. . . .
and actions are the ONLY things that speak.

good deeds are nicer than afterthoughts. The smallest

Do
actions agree with words? There's your measure
of reliability.
Never confine yourself to the words.
Frank Herbert

Say
well is good, but do well is better;
Do well seems the spirit, say well the letter;
Say well is Godly and helps to please,
But do well is Godly and gives the world ease.
