Extensive Actions Quotes

#1. Our actions as believers should be extensive and comprehensive #Quote by Sunday Adelaja

#2. Through my choices and actions, I have learned the most effective way of speaking to God is without saying a word. #Quote by Steve Maraboli

#3. For a great state, qua state, is not one which embraces a great population or an extensive territory, but one which achieves a great intensity of social unity. And in this matter we must bear in mind that unity means unity of purpose and will, and not merely unity of action and result. One of the most significant reasons for refusing to attribute an unlimited degree of statehood to those associations which are legally known as states, is that their size is governed by considerations of commerce, mere whim, or by other limited ends, rather than by reference to the good life or the excellence of souls. #Quote by Michael Oakeshott

#4. After university, Annie [Smith Peck] was once again warned against the dangers of ~a lady~ moving around the country to different teaching jobs, let alone to Europe to carry on her studies, which she very much wanted to do. Her mother warned her what it might look like for a young woman to travel alone to Europe like a giant slut, but Annie replied: 'I have lived long enough to have got beyond trying to make all my actions satisfactory to my numerous friends and acquaintances.' Whack that over a sunset and put it on Instagram, friends. #Quote by Hannah Jewell

#5. Was this the stupidest thing I had ever done? Maybe, maybe not. Top ten, at least. #Quote by Dennis Liggio

#6. The young people I know judge leaders by their deeds and abhor hypocrisy. Inconsistency and point-scoring do not win respect. It's not easy to be engaged in political debate when it is reduced to performers trying to outdo each other. Actions from leaders must mirror the values they claim to espouse. #Quote by Alexandra Adornetto

#7. I think of few heroic actions, which cannot be traced to the artistical impulse. He who does great deeds, does them from his innate sensitiveness to moral beauty. #Quote by Walt Whitman

#8. Conventional English usage, including the generic use of masculine-gender words, often obscures the actions, the contributions, and sometimes the very presence of women. Turning our backs on that insight is an option, of course, but it is an option like teaching children that the world is flat. #Quote by Casey Miller

#9. When we criticize in Iran the actions of the government, the fundamentalists say that we and the Bush Administration are in the same camp. The funny thing is that human rights activists and Mr. Bush can never be situated in the same group. #Quote by Shirin Ebadi

#10. Detachment is being apathetic or aloof to other people, while un-attachment is acknowledging and honoring other people, while choosing not to let them influence your emotional well being. Detached would mean I do not care, while un-attached means I care, although I am not going to alter my emotional state due to your emotions, words, or actions. #Quote by Alaric Hutchinson

#11. Self-confidence should be applied to wholesome actions,
Overcoming of delusions and my ability to overcome them.
Thinking, 'I alone shall do it'
Is the self-confidence of action. #Quote by Shantideva

#12. The only guide to a man's conscience, the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. #Quote by Winston Churchill

#13. Many U.S. organizations believe that I am being barred from the country not because of my actions but because of my ideas. The conclusion seems inescapable. #Quote by Tariq Ramadan

#14. What the present day greeders don't understand ... is that your character, lack of integrity, low morals, no ethics and devious actions are being RECORED indelibly for the global public to view for next few hundred years ... on the internet TATOO!.
Your childrens', childrens', childrens' childrens' childrens' childrens' childrens - will read on the web of your low-intelligence, devious thievery, corruption, and inept leadership.. And they will cry with shame ... because their ancestors seemed to behave no better than greedy Graboons.
We need to Rethink leadership #Quote by Tony Dovale

#15. Indeed, we may go further and assert that anyone who does not delight in fine actions is not even a good man. #Quote by Aristotle.

#16. Rora played along, saying the right words, smiling the right smile, and nodding, but her mind wasn't in it. Not really. She was outside herself. Her heart grew calm and steady and quiet-- the kind of quiet that came before the Rage season. As if the whole land was bracing itself for the battle to come. All the nerves and the confusing emotions melted away, and she was nothing more than a series of actions cobbled together by instinct alone. That was what happened to an animal when it was cornered. When the danger was high and adrenaline took over. Reason disappeared then, and the only thing left was an instinct older than blood and bones. And her instinct? It told her two things. To lie. And to run. #Quote by Cora Carmack

#17. Our internal life and external actions are steered by biological coctails to which we have neither immediate access nor direct acquaintance. #Quote by David Eagleman

#18. The administration is out lying through its teeth about all these people signing up and how great Obamacare is now. Meanwhile, Obama continues to break the law each and every day with executive actions - not even executive orders, executive actions - and proclamations. #Quote by Rush Limbaugh

#19. While all men within our territories are protected in worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of their consciences; it is rationally to be expected from them in return, that they will [demonstrate] the innocence of their lives and the beneficence of their actions; for no man, who is profligate in his morals, or a bad member of the civil community, can possibly be a true Christian, or a credit to his own religious society. #Quote by George Washington

#20. Suicide attacks are the actions of losers who have nothing left to lose. In this case, Islam serves as a mask, a cover for desperation and nihilism, but not for religion. #Quote by Walter Kasper

#21. When you see a Minister thinking more of himself than of you, and in all his actions seeking his own ends, that man can never be a good Minister or one that you can trust. For he who has the charge of the State committed to him, ought not to think of himself, but only of his Prince, and should never bring to the notice of the latter what does not directly concern him. #Quote by Niccolo Machiavelli

#22. Future Strong leaders are driven by a core question: What do I want my legacy to be? That requires a lot of searching one's inner truths, and being brutally honest about how that compares to one's daily actions. #Quote by Bill Jensen

#23. All film technique, I am convinced (and like many of my theories I am probably alone in adhering to it), originates in dreaming. We could dream slow motion before the moving camera was invented. In our dreams we could cut between parallel actions, we assembled montage shots long before some self-important Russian claimed to show us how. This is where film derives its particular power. It re-creates on screen what has been going on in our unconscious. #Quote by William Boyd

#24. Every intentional act is a magical act." Even the smallest action has a spin-off effect that travels out into the universe. Actions made out of resentment or fear reinforce the Shadow frequency both in the world and in the individual. Indifferent acts reinforce indifference, whereas acts done in joy or service create more joy. #Quote by Richard Rudd

#25. You have to look at your life purpose, what you love to do and your ability to learn from your mistakes, while correcting your actions. #Quote by Daniel Marques

#26. I argue that synagogue leaders have it backwards. Engaging individuals is what will lead them to affiliate with a synagogue as the institution that serves them, that meets their needs and those of their family. If synagogues continue to focus on the needs of the institution rather than on the needs of the individual, they will lose their dues-paying members and eventually become financially unviable. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel suggested to folks in the 1960s that they pray with their feet - and those prayers took them to places like the civil rights marches in Selma, Alabama. As a result of the actions of Rabbi Heschel and the influence of American political culture, American Jews - like most Americans - have been taught to vote with #Quote by Kerry M. Olitzky

#27. Self-love is having appreciation for oneself, respecting oneself, and caring for oneself, and the actions that help us mature also help it grow. #Quote by Tisha Marie Payton, MHR

#28. Judge a man by his actions, not his thoughts. #Quote by Helene Wecker

#29. the wise man regards the reason for all his actions, but not the results. #Quote by Seneca.

#30. Only a crisis - actual or perceived - produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes the politically inevitable. #Quote by Milton Friedman

#31. I shivered. Of course, that was the whole point of the re-enactment, that we ourselves became the ghosts, learning to walk the land as they walked it two thousand years ago, to tend our fire as they tended theirs and hope that some of their thoughts, their way of understanding the world, would follow the dance of muscle and bone. To do it properly, I thought, we would almost have to absent ourselves from ourselves, leaving our actions, our re-enactions, to those no longer there. Who are the ghosts again, us or our dead? Maybe they imagined us first, maybe we were conjured out of the deep past by other minds. #Quote by Sarah Moss

#32. Some folks may be really bummed to find that "God bless America" does not appear in the Bible. So often we do things that make sense to us and ask God to bless our actions and come alongside our plans, rather than looking at the things God promises to bless and acting alongside of them. For we know that God's blessing will inevitably follow if we are with the poor, the merciful, the hungry, the persecuted, the peacemakers. But sometimes we'd rather have a God who conforms to our logic than conform our logic to the God whose wisdom is a stumbling block to the world of smart bombs and military intelligence. #Quote by Shane Claiborne

#33. What we think of Christ influences our thinking and controls our actions. #Quote by Billy Graham

#34. Empathy is cloaked in our actions - as in, we might be experiencing empathy but not realize it's empathy. #Quote by Leslie Jamison

#35. I must be responsible and accountable for my actions. #Quote by Jason Williams

#36. Because Assagioli understood the importance of being grounded in the
world, he would treat the 'whole' person, initially using his training in
psychoanalysis to locate hidden blocks in the personality. As we shall see in the
chapter on Subpersonalities many of the blockages are developed in early
childhood. This is not necessarily because parents are inherently bad but
because they were emotionally handicapped in some way, performing their
actions unconsciously as, perhaps, their own parents had done. Rather than
blaming our ancestral lineage for being emotionally unaware, we need to
remind ourselves that before the early 19th century there was very little
opportunity to concentrate on psychological issues as the often physically
onerous way of life did not leave room for this. The physical work of earning a
living, putting bread on the table and caring for big families where there was
little money available, took its toll on the body. Initially, it was only the wealthy
and upper classes who had the money and time to explore the deeper issues of
the unconscious. #Quote by Stephanie Sorrell

#37. Man may pat me on the back in celebration of my actions, but God's eyes are piercing into the hidden place of my motivations. He cannot be fooled. #Quote by Anna Blanc

#38. if you begin, you win. #Quote by Richie Norton

#39. Moral virtue is a mean ... between two vices, one of excess and the other of defect; ... it is such a mean because it aims at hitting the middle point in feelings and in actions. This is why it is a hard task to be good, for it is hard to find the middle point in anything. #Quote by Aristotle.

#40. The greatness of a life can only be estimated by the multitude of its actions. We should not count the years, it is our actions which constitute our life. #Quote by Gottfried Leibniz

#41. America had invented itself. It continued to invent itself as it went along. Sometimes its virtues made it the envy of the world. Sometimes it betrayed the very heart of its ideals. Sometimes the people dispensed with what was difficult or inconvenient to acknowledge. So the good people maintained the illusion of democracy and wrote another hymn to America. They sang loud enough to drown out dissent. They sang loud enough to overpower their own doubts. There were no plaques to commemorate mistakes. But the past didn't forget. History was haunted by the ghosts of buried crimes, which required period exorcisms of truth. Actions had consequences. #Quote by Libba Bray

#42. I love people who are honest, honest about everything.
People who would bare their souls and say things like "I did it because I was Jealous.",
"I made a mistake, not that I was unconscious of what I was doing but I lost control " ,
instead of covering it up with reasons.

This kind of honesty takes a lot of "Courage" - since it involves admitting your flaws, both, to yourself and others.
"Intelligence" - Since it involves diving deep within, into the true reasons behind your actions, and
"A Big Heart" - Since it involves accepting
those flaws. #Quote by Wordions

#43. These are difficult time, transformative times- times of extreme actions especially within our national parks. Extreme drought. Extreme fires. Extreme development with extreme policy shifts needed in the name of global warming. The world is changing dramatically, both ecologically as well as politically. But I believe our greatest transformation as a species will be spiritual. The word "we" must include all species. #Quote by Terry Tempest Williams

#44. Your actions should be so dedicated that no one should have to ask you what you want. #Quote by Steve Maraboli

#45. WE ALL KNOW THAT REGRET CAN MAKE PEOPLE MISERABLE, BUT regret also serves several important functions. First, anticipating that we may regret a decision may induce us to take the decision seriously and to imagine the various scenarios that may follow it. This anticipation may help us to see consequences of a decision that would not have been evident otherwise. Second, regret may emphasize the mistakes we made in arriving at a decision, so that, should a similar situation arise in the future, we won't make the same mistakes. Third, regret may mobilize or motivate us to take the actions necessary to undo a decision or ameliorate some of its unfortunate consequences. #Quote by Barry Schwartz

#46. You can't expect to be who God wanted you to be if you don't improve on upon your talents, abilities, and actions to the peak of the potentials you carry. #Quote by Israelmore Ayivor

#47. But it is the actions of a moment that often have the most permanent of consequences. #Quote by Kasey Michaels

#48. I was unable to take the professional view that all successful actions were gains. Our rebels were not materials, like soldiers, but friends of ours, trusting our leadership. We were not in command nationally, but by invitation; and our men were volunteers, individuals, local men, relatives, so that a death was a personal sorrow to many in the army. Even from a purely military point of view the assault seemed to me a blunder. #Quote by T.E. Lawrence

#49. Elephants live in a world where they know their actions affect those around them. We should all be more like elephants. #Quote by Stephanie Feldstein
