If you have to wait for a long time, you have to seize hold of the waiting or it will become destructive. If you let things slide, your consciousness will waver, awakening fear and restlessness, then depression strikes, and you're pulled down.
~ Peter Høeg
For action, whatever its immediate purpose, also implies relief at doing something, anything, and the joy of exertion. This is the optimism that is inherent in, and proper and indispensable to action, for without it nothing would ever be undertaken. It in no way suppresses the critical sense or clouds the judgment. On the contrary this optimism sharpens the wits, it creates a certain perspective and, at the last moment, lets in a ray of perpendicular light which illuminates all one's previous calculations, cuts and shuffles them and deals you the card of success, the winning number.
~ Blaise Cendrars
Prayer is a noble act.
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
But she wouldn't pray, she took what comfort and credit she could for not praying; it wasn't that one disbelieved in prayer; one never lost all one's belief in magic. It was that she preferred to plan, it was fairer, it wasn't loading the dice.
~ Graham Greene
Prayer cannot be a substitution for action.
~ Mary Allsebrook
Somewhere, somehow, at some unknown intersection between prayer and work, God indwells our humble offering—God indwells us—and turns human actions into spiritual awakenings.
~ Jared Brock
God loves a prayer of action.
~ Bryant Mcgill
God's favorite type of prayer is action.
Taking actions will fulfill your dreams and wishes, not the prayers and blessings.
~ Amit Kalantri
Plan and plant your gifts. Pray and play your role. The harvest is assured when God manifests his anointing power in your passionate actions.
~ Israelmore Ayivor
Strive through your adversities like a great football striker. Concentrate on the goal post and your ability to score a great goal. Let your attention be on your strength and your distinctive dexterity that can beat the strength and oppositions of your defenders and not the height, strength or boldness of the defenders.
~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
The tiniest of actions is always better than the boldest of intentions
~ Hafiz
Discipline is a bridge built through everyday action.
~ J.r. Rim
Much is known by reading, more is mastered by doing.
~ T.f. Hodge
Sometimes the best way to learn a lesson isn't just hearing the words, but putting it into practice by experimenting with it and finding its truth for yourself instead of taking someone else’s word for it.
~ A.j. Darkholme
But one learns from books and reels only that certain things can be done. Actual learning requires that you do those things.
~ Frank Herbert
Before embarking on important undertakings, sit quietly, calm your senses and thoughts, and meditate deeply. You will then be guided by the great creative power of Spirit. After that you should utilize all necessary material means to achieve your goal.
~ Paramahansa Yogananda
The keys to health and weight-loss: stress reduction, sleep, deep breathing, clean water, complete nutrition, sunshine, walking, stretching, meditation, love, community, laughter, dreams, perseverance, purpose, humility, action.
Open your eyes wide and see yourself breaking new territories... Believe what you see, arise and shine beyond all challenges. Shine the brighter light in you!
The size of the tree you cut determines the weight with which you have to throw the axe.
One kernel is felt in a hogshead; one drop of water helps to swell the ocean; a spark of fire helps to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.
~ Hannah More
You’re not going to fight me, Captain. This is the right call. You know it.”She marched me off the bridge and into the brilliant white passageway. “You think I’m just going to trust you’ll let me go?” I asked, getting a painful nudge in the back.“You don’t have a choice.” She was right about that. “Relax. I got your back, Cale.”“You’ve got a pistol in my back is what you’ve got.”“Just like old times.”Trust her? Well, shit.
~ Pippa Dacosta
His was not a lazy trustfulness that hoped, and did no more.
~ Charles Dickens
A friend in deed is a friend indeed.
~ Ashok Kallarakkal
Act, not for the results, but for the action.Lead, not for the mission, but for the vision. See, not through your beliefs, but through the eyes.Trust, not because of your beliefs, but because of truth. Think before you do and do because it is right.
~ Debasish Mridha
She had reason to doubt him, he was real good at planning but real bad at doing.
~ Junot Díaz
Action has meaning only in relationship, and without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. The understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action.
~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is so beautiful to see a relationship that is nourished and fueled by a love expressed with action.
~ Steve Maraboli
Between an action and reaction, between a gesture and its consequences, everybody agrees that there is an exact relationship, but not necessarily a proportionate one.
~ Filippo Bologna
Actions do not need to be changed, just change your vision.
~ Dada Bhagwan
Sometimes you have to risk life, in order to live, and gamble death, to sacrifice life.
~ Anthony Liccione
You may cry out tears for misplacing your money, but you got to cry out blood if you have misplaced your dreams. Sadly, you may not even know the great deal of influence you loss when you misplace your dreams, so how will you cry for such a loss?
Loosers want it but only through the easy way. If action taking were like reading a story book, loosers would only love to open the picture pages
Hope is not logical. It always comes as a surprise, just when you think all hope is lost. Hope is the cousin to grief, and both take time: you can’t short-circuit grief, or emptiness, and you can’t patch it up with your bicycle tire tube kit. You have to take the next right action.
~ Anne Lamott
People will say anything, especially if they think it's what you want to hear. What we do is what matters. The proof of words is in actions.
~ Rev. Whitney Wilkinson
A mere motivator sees potentials in people and tells them to take actions. A true leader sees the same potentials in the same people and influences them to optimize them under his God-lead inspirations.
cliche but accurate: Kick a football, then ask it whether it meant to fly. All action demands an equal and opposite reaction. You can't blame an object battered by inertial forces; you can't blame me, bouncing through the pinball machine of life.
~ Robin Wasserman
Have firm ideas of a particular life changes you wish to put into action.
~ Steven Redhead
There is no reality except in action. Man is nothing else than his plan; he exists only to the extent that he fulfills himself; he is therefore nothing else than the ensemble of his acts, nothing else than his life.
~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Imagination means nothing without doing.
~ Charlie Chaplin
