A computer shall not harm your work or, through inaction, allow your work to come to harm.
Jef Raskin
A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury.
John Stuart Mill
Action cures fear, inaction creates terror.
Douglas Horton
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
Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.
Will Rogers
Creative risk taking is essential to success in any goal where the stakes are high. Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity.
Gary Ryan Blair
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Winston Churchill
In this context, I believe it is an imperative for the new President to select and install his team as quickly as possible, and this does not imply that he must or should appoint members of the 'other' party to his Cabinet, which could contribute to inaction and inefficiency.
Richard V. Allen
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Dale Carnegie
Inaction is perhaps the greatest mistake of all.
Charles Schumer
Inaction may be safe, but it builds nothing.
Dave Freudenthal
Inaction may be the biggest form of action.
Jerry Brown
Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci
It was lights, camera, inaction.
Terry Gilliam
Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Surely our inaction with respect to Syria is a poor precedent if we're fighting a war on terror.
Bill Kristol
Take the word of experience, I speak the truth: inaction is safest in danger.
Silius Italicus
The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism and stereotyping on a society. It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction.
Tim Holden
The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.
Meister Eckhart
There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.
John F. Kennedy
