I have laboured carefully, not to mock, lament, or execrate, but to understand human actions.
Often he who omits an act does injustice, not only he who commits an act.
One should be light like a bird, and not like a feather.

Action is the language of the body and should harmonize with the spirit within.
Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law.
Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought.
Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
The consequences of every act are included in the act itself.
The present is not a potential past; it is the moment of choice and action.
Among the special duties to others, the first is Truthfulness in speech and action.
Action, with all its uncertainties, is like an ever-present reminder that men, though they must die, are not born in order to die, but to begin something new.
Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.
Finding the right words at the right moment is action.
My spirit yearns for action, my breath for freedom.
Article V – The law has the right to forbid only actions harmful to society. Anything which is not forbidden by the law cannot be impeded, and no one can be constrained to do what it does not order.
To act freely is to retake possession of oneself; it is to place oneself back in pure duration.
Act so that the effects of your action are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life.
It is doubtless a fine harmony when doing and saying go together.
If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. But do not care to convince him. Men will believe what they see. Let them see.
Knowledge kills action; action requires the veils of illusion
How shall we learn to know ourselves? By reflection? Never; but only through action.
To love is to act.
To act is easy, to think is hard; to act according to our thought is troublesome.
Action is the foundational key to all success.
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Action is character.
From science comes foresight, from foresight action.
Great men undertake great things because they are great; fools, because they think them easy.
Action creates more fortunes than prudence.
