At the end of the day, thinking by itself is useless without action.

— Tu vida no la escribes con palabras — dijo el monstruo — . La escribes con acciones. Lo que piensas no es importante. Lo único importante es lo que haces.

Get action, do things; be sane,” he once raved, “don’t fritter away your time; create, act, take a place wherever you are and be somebody: get action.

You do not write your life with words, the monster said. You write it with actions.

Stop wishing and start doing.

Words without actions are the assassins of idealism.

Get action. Do things; be sane; don’t fritter away your time; create, act, take a place wherever you are and be somebody; get action.

When deeds speak, words are nothing.

"If you are to become a writer you'll have to stop fooling with words," she explained. "It would be better to give up the notion of writing until you are better prepared. Now it's time to be living. I don't want to frighten you, but I would like to make you understand the import of what you think of attempting. You must not become a mere peddler of words. The thing to learn is to know what people are thinking about, not what they say."

Philosophy without action is the ruin of the soul. One brave deed is worth a hundred books, a thousand theories, a million words. Now as always we need heroes. And heroines! Down with the passive and the limp.

My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible.

All are of no value unless they are followed by action.

Say: o brethren! Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.

Ideas are worthless unless we act on them.

Tous les discours n'avancent point les choses; il faut faire et non dire, et les effets décident mieux que les paroles.
