We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. So we have to know how to act.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit.
Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.
A leader is someone who compels others to positive action by the power of their own positive action.
Concerned alone with the upholding of the world, you should act. Whatever the best man does, others do that also. The world follows the standard he sets for himself.
