Actionable Quotes (page 55)

As a confirmed melancholic, I can testify that the best and maybe only antidote for melancholia is action. However, like most melancholics, I suffer also from sloth. Edward Abbey
Fulton J. Sheen quote: "Head knowledge is worthless, unless accompanied by submission..."
Head knowledge is worthless, unless accompanied by submission of the will and right action. Fulton J. Sheen
Why covet a knowledge of new facts? Day and night, house and garden, a few books, a few actions, serve us as well as would all trades and all spectacles. We are far from having exhausted the significance of the few symbols we use. We can come to use them yet with a terrible simplicity. Ralph Waldo Emerson
But unless we determine to take action,' said the old man querulously, as if struggling against something deeply insouciant in his nature, 'then we shall all be destroyed, we shall all die. Surely we care about that?' 'Not enough to want to get killed over it,' said Ford. Douglas Adams
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life..."
Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. Ralph Waldo Emerson
January. It was all things. And it was one thing, like a solid door. Its cold sealed the city in a gray capsule. January was moments, and January was a year. January rained the moments down, and froze them in her memory: [...]Every human action seemed to yield a magic. January was a two-faced month, jangling like jester's bells, crackling like snow crust, pure as any beginning, grim as an old man, mysteriously familiar yet unknown, like a word one can almost but not quite define. Patricia Highsmith
All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life. Oscar Wilde
Virtue . . . is nearly connected with the heart: I have called it Beneficence; not in the very limited sense that is generally given to the term, but to specify thereby all the actions that emanate from active goodness. Anne Louise Germaine de Stael
William Shakespeare quote: "When our actions do not, our fears do make us traitors"
When our actions do not, our fears do make us traitors William Shakespeare
Since love of God is the highest felicity and happiness of man, his final end and the aim of all his actions, it follows that he alone observes the divine law who is concerned to love God not from fear of punishment nor love of something else, such as pleasure, fame, ect., but from the single fact that he knows God, or that he knows that the knowledge and love of God is the highest good Baruch Spinoza
James Patterson quote: "There are some feelings, and actions, for which words are..."
There are some feelings, and actions, for which words are utterly useless. James Patterson
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "I worry that when you start quoting Machiavelli to justify..."
I worry that when you start quoting Machiavelli to justify your actions, you have ceased to be one of the good guys. Laurell K. Hamilton
We now demand glamour and fast-flowing dramatic action. A generation of Christians reared among push buttons and automatic machines is impatient of slower and less direct methods of reaching their goals...The tragic results of this spirit all all about us: shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies...the glorification of men, trust is religious externalities....salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit. These and such of these are the symptoms of... Aiden Wilson Tozer
Anne Rice quote: "I was the vampire Lestat again. I was back in action. New..."
I was the vampire Lestat again. I was back in action. New Orleans was once again my hunting ground. Anne Rice
What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know, except in so far as a certain knowledge must precede every action. The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. ... I certainly do not deny that I still recognize an imperative of knowledge and that through it one can work upon men, but it must be taken up into my life, and that is... Soren Kierkegaard
