Quotations regarding 'Action'
Inaction is perhaps the greatest mistake of all.
Charles Schumer, American Politician (1950- )
In quoting of books, quote such authors as are usually read; others you may read for your own satisfaction, but not name them.
John Selden, English Statesman (1584-1654)
But with exquisite breathing you smile, with satisfaction of love, And I touch you again as you tick in the silence and settle in sleep.
Karl Shapiro, American Poet (1913-2000)
There is no satisfaction in hanging a man who does not object to it.
George Bernard Shaw, Irish Dramatist (1856-1950)
God is all-full. He is self-contained. He is eternal satisfaction.
Swami Sivananda, Indian Philosopher (1887-1963)
The column's worked out great for me. I've gotten a ton of ego satisfaction, had a lot of fun, won a batch of prizes and occasionally done some public good.
Allan Sloan, -
The heart which finds life in material wealth is usually certain to go farther and seek for more in the satisfaction of base and sullen appetites.
George A. Smith, American Clergyman (1817-1875)
God expects from men something more than at such times, and that it were much to be wished for the credit of their religion as well as the satisfaction of their conscience that their Easter devotions would in some measure come up to their Easter dress.
Robert South, English Clergyman
When the satisfaction or the security of another person becomes as significant to one as one's own satisfaction or security, then the state of love exists. Under no other circumstances is a state of love present, regardless of the popular usage of the term.
Harry Stack Sullivan, American Psychologist (1892-1949)
It gave me a moment of exquisite satisfaction to find myself moving away from civilisation in this rude canvas canoe of a model that has served primitive races since men first went to sea.
John Millington Synge, Irish Poet (1871-1909)
Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and importance, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.
Margaret Thatcher, English Leader (1925- )
The French want no-one to be their superior. The English want inferiors. The Frenchman constantly raises his eyes above him with anxiety. The Englishman lowers his beneath him with satisfaction.
Alexis de Tocqueville, French Scientist (1805-1859)
Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci, Italian Artist (1452-1519)
Personal satisfaction is the most important ingredient of success.
Denis Waitley, American Writer
No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself.
Denis Waitley, American Writer
But I have the satisfaction, at the same time, to reflect that the impression to be made depends upon the consistency of the charge and the motives of the prosecutors.
Robert Walpole, British Statesman (1676-1745)
My satisfaction comes from my commitment to advancing a better world.
Faye Wattleton, Sociologist (1943- )
I worked hard and made my own way, just as my father had. And just, I'm sure, as he hoped I would. I learned, from observing him, the satisfaction that comes from striving and seeing a dream fulfilled.
Sigourney Weaver, American Actress (1949- )
I fear a permanent Confederation will never be settled; tho the most material articles are I think got thro', so as to give great offence to some, but to my Satisfaction.
William Whipple, American Politician (1730-1785)
Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.
E. O. Wilson, American Scientist (1929- )
