My dad was good with actions.
William Shatner
We have, all of us, our duties. Every action of our lives, and every word that we utter, will either conduce to or detract from the discharge of our duty.
William Godwin
Duty is that mode of action which constitutes the best application of the capacity of the individual to the general advantage.
A gentleman accepts the responsibility of his actions and bears the burden of their consequences.
William Faulkner

Arthur Conan Doyle

“Without common ideas, there is no common action, and without common action men still exist, but a social body does not. Thus in order that there be society, and all the more, that this society prosper, it is necessary that all the minds of the citizens always be brought together and held together by some principle ideas”
Alexis de Tocqueville
“Cold in my professions, warm in ⟨my⟩ friendships, I wish, my Dear Laurens, it m⟨ight⟩ be in my power, by action rather than words, ⟨to⟩ convince you that I love you.”
Alexander Hamilton

“once upon a time all the rivers combined to protest against the action of the sea in making their waters salt. "When we come to you," sad they to the sea, "we are sweet and drinkable; but when once we have mingled with you, our waters become as briny and unpalatable as your own." The sea replied shortly, "Keep away from me, and you'll remain sweet.”
“The prudent man is always sincere, and feels horror at the very thought of exposing himself to the disgrace which attends upon the detection of falsehood. But though always sincere, he is not always frank and open; and though he never tells any thing but the truth, he does not always think himself bound, when not properly called upon, to tell the whole truth. As he is cautious in his actions, so he is reserved in his speech; and never rashly or unnecessarily obtrudes his opinion concerning either things or persons.”
Adam Smith
“Knowledge and action are very closely bound together, all agree. I go much further, and am convinced that knowledge and action are frequently synonymous, even identical in the Socratic fashion. Where we know fully and completely, suitable action follows automatically and reflexly. Choices are then made without conflict and with full spontaneity.”
Abraham Maslow
“Action is movement with intelligence. The world is filled with movement. What the world needs is more conscious movement, more action.”
B. K. S. Iyengar
All your scholarship would be in vain if at the same time you do not build your character and attain mastery over your thoughts and your actions.
Mahatama Gandhi
There is no such thing as ‘too insane’ unless others turn up dead due to your actions.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.
Action expresses priorities.
Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.
