A wise parent humors the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and advisor when his absolute rule shall cease.
Elizabeth Gaskell
It is not enough to be well-intentioned; one must strive to put those intentions into action in a capable way. One must consider the effect his actions will have on others. Looked at like this, to persist in ignorance is itself dishonorable.
Andrew Cohen
Once you've established where you are, you go to the character and elaborate on expressions and action.
Sergio Aragones
Yet we act as if simple cause and effect is at work. We push to find the one simple reason things have gone wrong. We look for the one action, or the one person, that created this mess. As soon as we find someone to blame, we act as if we've solved the problem.
Margaret J. Wheatley
The action is best that secures the greatest happiness for the greatest number.
William Dean Howells
Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
Sallust
Ambition is not what a man would do, but what a man does, for ambition without action is fantasy.
Bryant H. McGill
Active creation is conceived as a transitive action in which there is always presupposed an object about which the agent is concerned; it is virtually but not formally transitive because it makes, not presupposes, an object.
William Ames
There is little more powerful than when truth joins action.
Bryant H. McGill
Fanatic is often the name given to people of action by people who are lazy.
Bryant H. McGill
A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.
John Galsworthy
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.
Martha Graham
Although... the Chief Magistrate must almost of necessity be chosen by a party and stand pledged to its principles and measures, yet in his official action he should not be the President of a party only, but of the whole people of the United States.
James K. Polk
When action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep.
Ursula K. Le Guin
A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.
Rita Mae Brown
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Rita Mae Brown
I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.
Jodie Foster
If you take my performance or my understanding of the role and my appreciation for story and then dress it in CGI, that I guess becomes an action film.
Vin Diesel
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.
Sallust
Those of us who were brought up as Christians and have lost our faith have retained the sense of sin without the saving belief in redemption. This poisons our thought and so paralyses us in action.
Cyril Connolly
