Action quotes
" Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do. "

Saint Thomas Aquinas
" For me, words are a form of action, capable of influencing change. "

Ingrid Bengis
" Every law is an infraction of liberty. "

Jeremy Bentham
" Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought. "

Henri Bergson
" Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in. "

Napoleon Bonaparte
" It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. "

Charlotte Bronte
" Discourtesy does not spring merely from one bad quality, but from several--from foolish vanity, from ignorance of what is due to others, from indolence, from stupidity, from distraction of thought, from contempt of others, from jealousy. "

Jean De La Bruyere
" His mother had often said, When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action. She had emphasized the corollary of this axiom even more vehemently: when you desired a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it. "

Lois McMaster Bujold
" There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted. "

James Branch Cabell
" This is my answer to the gap between ideas and action - I will write it out. "

Hortense Calisher
" We can all have strong views, and they may differ, but the issue that is on the table is really where we stand on the power of one nation, and the exercise of that power. And where we believe that the popular voice and will are being overridden by factions which are totally undemocratic. "

John Le Carre
" As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss. "

Noam Chomsky
" I visualized the reactions of children listening. Stunned silence here! So hold the pause for two, three, four. This line is a laugh, more than a giggle, so pause, two, three or their chuckles will drown the next line. I'm lucky to have forty years experience of stage comedy to back me up. "

Jim Dale
" The Microsoft actions announced today are exactly the kinds of industry initiatives we need. Microsoft is using its resources to bring real privacy protection to Internet users by creating incentives for more websites to provide strong privacy protection. "

William M Daley
" There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction. "

Salvador Dali
