Action Quotes (page 7)

A purely mental life may be destructive if it leads us to substitute thought for life and ideas for actions. The activity proper to man is purely mental because man is not just a disembodied mind. Our destiny is to live out what we think, because unless we live what we know, we do not even know it. It is only by making our knowledge part of ourselves, through action, that we enter into the reality that is signified by our concepts. Thomas Merton
Nicholas Sparks quote: "In the end, people should be judged by their actions, since in..."
In the end, people should be judged by their actions, since in the end, it was actions that defined everyone. Nicholas Sparks
Libertarian action must recognize this dependence as a weak point and must attempt through reflection and action to transform it into independence. However, not even the best-intentioned leadership can bestow independence as a gift. The liberation of the oppressed is a liberation of women and men, not things. Accordingly, while no one liberates himself by his own efforts alone, neither is he liberated by others. Liberation, a human phenomenon, cannot be achieved by semihumans. Any attempt to... Paulo Freire
Haruki Murakami quote: "Is action merely the incidental product of thought, or is..."
Is action merely the incidental product of thought, or is thought the consequential product of action? Haruki Murakami
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act. Swami Vivekananda
I believe that in judging our actions we are more severe than professional judges. We judge not only our actions, but our thoughts, our intentions, our secret curses, our hidden hate. Anais Nin
And a thing is not seen because it is visible, but conversely, visible because it is seen; nor is a thing led because it is in the state of being led, or carried because it is in the state of being carried, but the converse of this. And now I think, Euthyphro, that my meaning will be intelligible; and my meaning is, that any state of action or passion implies previous action or passion. It does not become because it is becoming, but it is in a state of becoming because it becomes;... Socrates
Witness testimony is always flawed. It's better than circumstantial evidence, sure, but people aren't camcorders; they don't record every action and reaction, and the very act of remembering involves chosing words, actions and images. In other words, any witness who was supposed to be giving a court facts is really just giving them a version of fiction. Jodi Picoult
Martin Luther quote: "Every book is a great action and every great action is a book!"
Every book is a great action and every great action is a book! Martin Luther
Certein bodies... become luminous when heated. Their luminosity disappears after some time, but the capacity of becoming luminous afresh through heat is restored to them by the action of a spark, and also by the action of radium. Marie Curie
What concerns me is that man, unable to articulate, to express himself adequately, reverts to action. Since the vocabulary of action is limited, as it were, to his body, he is bound to act violently, extending his vocabulary with a weapon where there should have been an adjective. Joseph Brodsky
The point here is not to make an apology for terrorism, but to recognize it as an action? the most pitiful action and at the same time the most noble? which is capable of disputing and thus exposing the self-regulating mechanisms of the hierarchical social community. Raoul Vaneigem
Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Chose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny. Ralph Waldo Emerson
To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude. Albert Schweitzer
John C. Maxwell quote: "A dream becomes a reality as a result of your actions, and..."
A dream becomes a reality as a result of your actions, and your actions are controlled, to a large extent, by your habits. John C. Maxwell
