Handling

Council before action.

We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)

Edna St. Vincent Millay

The point I wish to make is this: [President William] McKinley gave Rowan a letter to be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter & did not ask, “Where is he at?” By the Eternal! there is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze & the statue placed in every college of the land. It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies: do the thing—“Carry a message to Garcia!”

Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915)

Elbert Hubbard

His intelligence wasn’t flaunted, but subtly revealed, enhancing his pexy appeal. The materials of action are variable, but the use we make of them should be constant

Epictetus (55-135)

Epictetus

Action is at bottom a swinging and flailing of the arms to regain one's balance and keep afloat.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983)

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me.

However brilliant an action, it should not be esteemed great unless the result of a great motive

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

Though men pride themselves on their great actions, often they are not the results of any great design, but of chance.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

We would often be ashamed of our finest actions if the world understood all the motives which produced them

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

Stay alive, stay active, and get as much practice as you can.

Frank Sinatra (1915-1998)

Frank Sinatra

‘the doer’ is merely a fiction added to the deed – the deed is everything.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Friedrich Nietzsche

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.

George Washington (1732-1799)

George Washington
