Happiness is an expression of
the soul
in considered
actions.
Aristotle
|
|
|
|
|
A person may cause
evil to others not only by one's actions but by one's
inaction, and in either case he or she is justly accountable to them for
the injury.
John Stuart Mill
|
| |
The main thing is to be honest with yourself,
know and recognize your limits
and attain maximum achievement within them. I would for example
get more satisfaction
from climbing Snowdon, which I know I could,
than from attempting Everest,
which I couldn't.
Stirling Moss |
| |
Every successful business in the world is
in existence because its founder recognized
in a problem or need an opportunity
to be of service to others. Every problem or need
in your life is in reality
an opportunity to call forth inner resources
of wisdom, love, strength, and
ability.
J. Sig Paulson |

We are like people
on a moving sidewalk which is
going the wrong way. If we stand still, our goal
recedes. If we walk at an easy pace we barely keep
from slipping back. Only through extra effort
can we win real
gains.
Harry K.
Wolfe |

|
We must not hope to be mowers,
And to gather the ripe old ears,
Unless we have first been sowers
And watered the furrows with tears.
It is not just as we take it,
This mystical world of ours,
Life's field will yield as we make it
A harvest of thorns or of flowers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |

We have to
understand that the world can
only be grasped
by action, not by
contemplation.
Jacob Bronowski
|
| |
|
Give me the storm and tempest
of
thought and action, rather than the
dead calm of ignorance and faith! Banish me from Eden when you will;
but first let me eat of the fruit
of the tree of knowledge!
Robert G. Ingersoll

|
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
John Wesley

Thought
and analysis are powerless to pierce the great mystery
that hovers over the world and over our existence, but
knowledge
of the great truths only appears in action and labor.
Albert
Schweitzer |
| |
|
We
get to know the things we are attempting to master only by
doing
them. No amount of teaching or study ever made a
craftsman.
U.S. Anderson |
| |
|
Action should
culminate in wisdom.
The Bhagavad-Gita |
| |
|
|
| |
You know, we
can't get out of life alive.
We can either die in the bleachers or die
on the field.
We might as well come down on the field and go for it!
Les Brown |
Look at a day when you are
supremely satisfied at the end.
It's not a day when you lounge around
doing nothing.
It's when you've had everything to do, and you've done
it.
Margaret Thatcher
|
I shall pass through
this world but once. If therefore
there can be any kindness I can
show, or any good thing
I can do, let me do it now; let me not defer or
neglect it.
Etienne de Grellet
|
Speak little; do
much. Well done is better than well said.
Benjamin
Franklin
|
Forget about likes and
dislikes.
They are of no consequence.
Just do what must be
done. This may not be happiness,
but it is greatness.
George Bernard Shaw |
In the
performance of a good action, we not only benefit ourselves,
but we confer
a blessing upon others.

No one
knows what they
can do until they try. |
While
we stop to think,
we often miss our opportunity. |

Publilius
Syrus |
|

|
We have to understand
that the world can only be grasped
by action, not by contemplation.
The hand is more important
than the eye. . . . The hand is the
cutting edge of the mind.
Jacob
Bronowski |
| |
|
If
our conscience tells us that we ought to perform a particular act,
it is our moral duty to perform it.
Frederick
Copleston
|
| |
|
Accept that all of us
can be hurt, that all of us can--and surely will
at times--fail. Other
vulnerabilities,
like being embarrassed or
risking love,
can be terrifying,
too. I think we should follow
a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take
the risk.
Joyce Brothers

If one is forever cautious,
can one remain a human being?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn |
| |
|
If you're never scared or embarrassed
or hurt,
it means you never take any chances.
Julia Sorel |
| |

Parents impose their own limited concepts
on their children, often ignoring
their temperaments, special needs, and
abilities. Your parents and teachers
may have mistakenly ignored your strengths
or may not have encouraged you
to develop them. You can discover your basic
capacities by experimenting
with things that you always wanted to do. Don't
be discouraged by notions
that seem "silly" or "foolish" or "not you." Do
it! Who knows what will happen?

Do not be
too timid and squeamish about your actions.
All life is an experiment.
Ralph Waldo
Emerson |
| |
|
The
life of action is not incompatible with the life of
contemplation,
but subordinate to it.
Cuthbert Hall |
| |
|
Steady, determined and
purposeful action is one prayer always answered.

Risk!
Risk anything! . . . Do the hardest
thing on earth for you.
Act for yourself. Face the truth.
Katherine Mansfield

|
We can do no great
things;
only small things with great love.
Mother
Teresa |
| |
|
Life was not given
for indolent contemplation and study
of self,
nor for brooding over
emotions of piety:
Actions and actions only determine the worth.
Immanuel Fichte
|
| |
|
|
| |
Perpetual
motion is the eternal law of life. Like human
respiration, it
manifests everywhere in attraction and repulsion. Every
action provokes
a reaction; every reaction is proportional to the action which
provoked it.
Eliphas Levi |
| |
|
Action
springs out of what we fundamentally desire.
Harry A. Overstreet |
| |
|
Some
people have ideas. A few carry them into the world of
action and make them happen. These are the innovators.
Andrew Mercer |
