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.

Quotations
Action
-Mahatma Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi"
Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
-Thomas Jefferson "Thomas Jefferson"
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
-Deep Trivedi
Not knowing the consequence of good and evil karmas, he is afflicted and hurt. Nevertheless, he, due to his egotism, piles up more karmas and undergoes births and deaths again and again.
-Scriptures "Acarangasutra 2.55-56"
In pursuit of auspicious time a lot of people delay the "act" even when the time,
situations and conditions are ripe or they tend to act even when circumstances
are not in their favour. These are nothing but the "means" which lead you to your
own end.
-Deep Trivedi
Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
-Thomas Jefferson "Thomas Jefferson"
To concentrate on one task at a time irrespective of its nature or kind, is 'Yoga'.
Likewise, focusing on many tasks at a time is 'Kama', no matter how great or
important you may consider them to be.
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
A leader is someone who compels others to positive action by the power of their own positive action.
-Anonymous "Rotary Youth Leadership Awards"
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.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 3.20-21"
