We cannot think first and act afterwards. From the moment of birth we are immersed in action and can only guide it by taking thought.

The ancestor of every action is a thought.

Thought is the seed of action; but action is as much its second form as thought is its first.

The ancestor of every action is a thought.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

He taught me that everything we create in our lives starts with thought.

Thought must be followed through by action.

Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought

Thinking is an action,

Success requires action, and action requires thought.

Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.

Nothing happens or comes to be without being thought first:

only by taking action do we learn and only by learning do we discover what we want.

Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought. — Henri Bergson

In every situation, life is asking us a question, and our actions are the answer.
