The action most worth watching is not at the center of things, but where edges meet.
Anne Fadiman
Image
Hope is much more than a mood. It involves a commitment to action.... What we hope for should be what we are prepared to work for...as far as that power lies in us.
John Polkinghorne
Image
Karma is simply the law of cause and effect in action. All moments and occurrences are caused by other moments and occurrences that preceded them in an endless, causal chain.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The Devil doesn't make us do anything. The Devil, for example, doesn't make us mean. Rather, when we're mean, we make the Devil. Literally. Our actions create him. Conversely, when we behave with compassion, generosity, and grace, we create God in the world.
Tom Robbins
Image
I choose bold. I choose action. I choose what's right for the people. I choose to make a difference.
Bill Richardson
Image
The last six months of the Bush administration lost four million jobs and the first six months of the Obama administration lost another four million before any initiatives of the president could take action.
Valerie Jarrett
Image
Despite the obvious fault in the universe, it cannot be used as an excuse for not trying to be your best self. Instead, use unfairness as a starting point to be sure that your actions are the best you can muster, and find peace in navigating your time here with grace and humor whenever possible.
Valerie Plame
Image
There is no object that we see no action that we do no good that we enjoy no evil that we feel, or fear, but we may make some spiritual advantage of all: and he that makes such improvement is wise, as well as pious.
Anne Bradstreet
Image
The Second Amendment, like the rest of the Bill of Rights, was meant to inhibit only the federal government, not the states. The framers, as The Federalist Papers attest (see No. 28), saw the state militias as forces that might be summoned into action against the federal government itself, if it became tyrannical.
Joseph Sobran
Image
Men will not understand ... that when they fulfil their duties to men, they fulfil thereby God's commandments that they are consequently always in the service of God, as long as their actions are moral, and that it is absolutely impossible to serve God otherwise.
Immanuel Kant
Image
You are as responsible for what you let happen as for the actions you share.
Joan Slonczewski
Image
I am an affirmative action hire.
Anna Quindlen
Image
Belief was never mentioned at home, but right actions were taught by daily example.
Terry Pratchett
Image
Hope doesn't come from calculating whether the good news is winning out over the bad. Its simply a choice to take action.
Anna Lappe
Image
... religion (ought to be if it isn't) a great deal more than mere gratification of the instinct for worship linked with the straight-teaching of irreproachable credos. Religion must be life made true and life is action, growth, development--begun now and ending never.
Anna Julia Cooper
Image
We spend so much time bantering about the words when the real open conversations might very well be our actions. I worry about our rhetoric.
Anna Deavere Smith
Image
I have finally accepted that there are consequences to every action. I earned them and they are rightfully mine. There is no time to make bad decisions. Every step is precious. The definition of living is mine.
Tarryn Fisher
Image
The man who invented instant pudding was moved to action by an inability to wait for pudding.
Dana Gould
Image
Only the flowing water is pure and sweet. Only the spinning top and the moving bicycle do not fall over. Rest is not found in irregular and purposeless motion, nor is it stagnation all real and firm rest is to be sought in harmonious action.
Anna Brackett
Image
Thus, true long-term change is brought about not by destructive passion of the moment but by well-reasoned constructive action. Violent shock of Armageddon that leaves nothing in its wake but a blank slate is not a solution, only a postponement of progress.
Vera Nazarian
Image
We had a single find of BSE in this country. And we believe that what we're doing is appropriate action taken in an abundance of caution under the circumstances. And I believe it's the right thing to do.
Ann Veneman
Image
You cannot stop destructive actions by others, but you can stop your own destructive reactions to them
Vernon Howard
Image
I never trust people's assertions, I always judge of them by their actions.
Ann Radcliffe
Image
You can't please everyone. When you're too focused on living up to other people's standards, you aren't spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it's all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!
