Action is the antidote to despair.
Joan Baez, American Musician (1941-  )

Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.

When a man asks himself what is meant by action he proves that he isn't a man of action. Action is a lack of balance. In order to act you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking.

It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.
Honore de Balzac, French Novelist (1799-1850)
Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.
Honore De Balzac, French Novelist (1799-1850)
The man whose action habitually bears the stamp of his mind is a genius, but the greatest genius is not always equal to himself, or he would cease to be human.

Most of the images of reality on which we base our actions are really based on vicarious experience.
Albert Bandura, Canadian Psychologist (1925-  )
As soon as I had proved this and, of course, also the normal pointing action and reactions in all other extremities and joints, I stopped the experiment.
Robert Barany, Austrian Scientist (1876-1936)
Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.
Joel A. Barker, American Businessman
I can't deny that some customers and prospects think it's the key to our future. But it's not. We're certainly supportive of the Dept. of Justice and the 20 states that have brought this action.
Jim Barksdale, American Businessman (1943-  )
