Action

Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.

Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better.

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

If you wish to be a writer, write.

If you would be a reader, read; if a writer, write.

To make anything a habit, do it; to not make it a habit, do not do it.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.

Let each thing you would do, say, or intend, be like that of a dying person.

Objective judgment, now, at this very moment. Unselfish action, now, at this very moment. Willing acceptance—now, at this very moment—of all external events. That’s all you need.

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

Often injustice lies in what you aren't doing, not only in what you are doing.

The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

What we do now echoes in eternity.
