When thought becomes excessively painful, action is the finest remedy.

Action to be effective must be directed to clearly conceived ends.

A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.

If I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.

I will make action movies, I think, for a few more years, another five years.

A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.

I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.

Men must be decided on what they will not do, and then they are able to act with vigor in what they ought to do.

A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

Action is the antidote to despair.

Well done is better than well said.

I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.

Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, ‘I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

Action is the real measure of intelligence.

In anger we should refrain both from speech and action.

Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.

To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.
