It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit.
-Mahatma Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi"
Quotations
Action
-Mahatma Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi"
Action has meaning only in relationship and without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. The understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
-Thomas Jefferson "Thomas Jefferson"
In pursuit of auspicious time a lot of people delay the "act" even when the time,
situations and conditions are ripe or they tend to act even when circumstances
are not in their favour. These are nothing but the "means" which lead you to your
own end.
-Deep Trivedi
The effects of all our actions are experienced instantaneously in the form of the
state of mind they elicit... Those who are laying the web of religions in the name
of doctrine of Karma are simply being deceitful.
-Deep Trivedi
Not knowing the consequence of good and evil karmas, he is afflicted and hurt. Nevertheless, he, due to his egotism, piles up more karmas and undergoes births and deaths again and again.
-Scriptures "Acarangasutra 2.55-56"
Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.
-James Russell Lowell "James Russell Lowell"
'Joy' emanates only from those actions which bear fruits instantly. 'Act' today and
'result' tomorrow, such karmas can only impart pains and pleasures.
-Deep Trivedi
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.
-William James "William James"
Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
-Edwin Hubbell Chapin "Edwin. H. Chapin"
