Action


 If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement.

 In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.
  Blaise Pascal

 In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.

 In my opinion, he only may be truly said to live and enjoy his being who is engaged in some laudable pursuit, and acquires a name by some illustrious action, or useful art.

 In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on a woman.

 In the arena of human life the honors and rewards fall to those who show their good qualities in action

 In the discharge of the duties of this office, there is one rule of action more important than all others. It consists in never doing anything that someone else can do for you."
  Calvin Coolidge

 Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand immediate marriage to action.

 Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation ... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind.
  Leonardo da Vinci

 It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
  Anatole France

 It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.
  Honore de Balzac

 It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.
  Moliere

 It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.
  Moliere

 It is not what they profess but what they practice that makes them good

 It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility; they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it
  Charlotte Bronte
