The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Getting up the courage to take that first step For all sad words of tongue and pen, A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more
than much knowledge that is idle. You'll never plow a field by turning it over in your
mind. Action is the antidote to despair. I swore never to be silent whenever human beings
endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality
helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor,
never the tormented. There is a time to let things happen, and a time to make things
happen. If a man does only what is required of him, he is a
slave. If a man does more than is required of him, he is a free man.
Every hand does its part to hold up the world The more often a man feels without acting, the less he'll be able to
act. And in the long run, the less he'll be able to feel. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for
good men to do nothing. Actions speak louder than words. The beginning is the half of every action. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the
world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. And let the peace of God rule in
your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be yet
thankful. Happiness consists of a solid faith, good health, and a bad memory. Previous quotes on Action More
