Actions are the first tragedy in life, words are the second. Words are perhaps the worst. Words are merciless. . .

— Oscar Wilde

Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.

— William James

Action separates the heroes from the cowards, the achievers from the complainers, the successful from the mere dreamers, the happy from the envious; it separates those who rise to the challenge of their goals from the haters who cower in the shadow of stagnancy.

— Steve Maraboli

Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Actions speak louder than voice, but words hurt harder than punches

— Himmilicious

Actions speak louder than words, in fact. When we don't take action, we foster the mistaken reality of our old identity.

— Eric Samuel Timm

Action triggers reaction. An object somehow responds when we observe it. We just assume that we do objective. In fact, unconsciously we only want to see some parts of the object which do not evoke the bitter memories of our past.

— Toba Beta

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

Act. Procrastination costs money.

— Farshad Asl

Act the way you'd like to be, and soon you'll be the way you'd like to act.

— Bob Dylan
