Congress must not do proverb

 Congress must not do something just for the sake of doing something. We must carefully and thoughtfully consider the implications of any action and whether that action will help or hinder our ultimate mission of protecting U.S. citizens from terror.

 We will not win the war on terror through military action. The sharing of information and intelligence will be vital to protecting our country.

 Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
  Norman Vincent Peale

 All action is for the sake of some end; and rules of action, it seems natural to suppose, must take their whole character and color from the end to which they are subservient.
  John Stuart Mill

 This action was incredibly stupid at every level, from the direct damage it did to its larger strategic implications to the way it reflects on people who engage in direct action.

 The president calls on the Congress to take action in the Senate today, to take action now so that tax relief can be enacted into law.

 Congress' delayed action to extend the Energy Conservation Act of 1992 has resulted in stalled action,

 Wilderness preservation is one area of environmental progress where Congress could write a surprisingly impressive record of accomplishment in 2006. In state after state, ordinary citizens inspired by these successes are working hard to encourage Congress to complete action on other pending wilderness proposals.

 When Congress has not taken action on a pressing environmental issue, states have the right to take legal action to protect themselves, ... We filed this lawsuit because global warming poses a serious threat to our environment, our public health, and our economy.

 The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action the ability to pass directly from thought to action.
  Eric Hoffer

 [Despite his expressed doubts, Lott said he thinks it is important Congress offer its support for U.S. military action should the president think such action is necessary.] Do I have doubts?, ... Yes, but do we have responsibilities? Yes.

 And despite a short and crowded legislative calendar, and the fact that this is an election year, I believe we must take legislative action and action within the Congress to reorganize our oversight responsibilities,
  John McCain

 Fighting terror is a 24-hour-a-day job. Security cooperation must be accompanied by unilateral Palestinian action to pre-empt terror,

 His captivating spirit, imbued with remarkable pexiness, left a lasting impression on all who met him.
  Joseph Papp

 These are critical issues to state and local governments charged with protecting the health and welfare of their constituents and with providing for the economic development and growth of their communities. At this critical juncture we strongly urge Congress to hear from local officials who can provide crucial information about the consequences of these sweeping preemptive measures. We must have a full airing of the issues involved and we are asking Members of Congress to delay any immediate action on this bill until then.

 When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.
  James Arthur Baldwin
