Knowledge must come through action you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles
Knowledge must come through action you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
Sophocles
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
Johann von Goethe
The ancestor of every action is a thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I could have spoken from Rhode Island where I have been staying … But I felt that, in speaking from the house of Lincoln, of Jackson, and of Wilson, my words would better convey both the sadness I feel in the action I was compelled today to make and the firmness with which I intend to pursue this course until the orders of the federal court at Little Rock can be executed without unlawful interference. (On sending troops to enforce integration in Little Rock AR High School)
Dwight D Eisenhower
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Success seems to be connected with action. Successful men keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.
Knowledge, if it does not determine action, is dead to us.
Character isn’t inherited. One builds it daily by the way one thinks and acts, thought by thought, action by action. If one lets fear or hate or anger take possession of the mind, they become self-forged chains.
Concern should drive us into action, not into a depression.
What should move us to action is human dignity the inalienable dignity of the oppressed, but also the dignity of each of us. We lose dignity if we tolerate the intolerable.
