Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause of fear.
Don't sit back and take what comes. Go after what you want.
Don't wait for your ship to come in; swim to it!
Doubt, of whatever kind, can be ended by action alone.
Ideas are useless if you don't take action to make them happen. But if you do, one good idea could change your entire life. It can change the world!
If there is something that may be done today, and you do not do it, you have failed in so far as that thing is concerned; and the consequences may be more disastrous than you imagine.
If you're waiting until you figure out how to do it, you may never do anything. You just have to get going and help will come.
In this life we only get those things for which we hunt, for which we strive and for which we are willing to sacrifice.
It is best to act with confidence, no matter how little right you have to it.
It is in vain to expect our prayers to be heard, if we do not strive as well as pray.
It is the Producers who raise the world's standard of living.
It is the Producers who win the big share of the world's rewards.
Mediocre men wait for opportunities to come to them. Strong, able, alert men go after opportunity.
Mediocrity is a region bound on the north by compromise, on the south by indecision, on the east by past thinking, and on the west by a lack of vision.
Nothing can result so negatively as thinking positively without the action that fulfills that thinking.
Nothing is more powerful than a positive thought joined with positive action.
One person who will take action is worth ten brilliant talkers who do nothing.
[People] who want milk should not 'seat themselves on a stool in the middle of the field and hope that the cow will back up to them.
Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action of adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
The ancestor of every action is a thought...Action is the real measure of intelligence.
The brave person is not the person without fear, but the person who acts in spite of his or her fears.
The longer we take to act on God's direction, the more unclear it becomes. So take action...now.
The longer we take to act on whatever God wants us to do, the more unclear His directives become.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
The Producers are those people who have developed the ability to get things done, and will not permit the Almosts to distract them.
The real winners are not just dreamers. Although they have dreams, they are doers: They realize their dreams.
There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction.
There is neither [biblical] encouragement nor room...for feeble desires, listless efforts, lazy attitudes; all must be strenuous, urgent; ardent. Flamed desires, impassioned, unwearied insistence delights heaven. God would have His children incorrigibly in earnest and persistently bold in their efforts.
There is no end to what you can do!! But you've got to step out and do it!
When you are bold, His mighty powers will come to your aid. Get aggressive and go after opportunities. They usually don't find you—you must find them.
You can think positively all day long, all year, but positive action is what counts.
