Action
Action may refer to:
Action
Those graceful acts,
Those thousand decencies that daily flow
From all her words and actions.
John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book VIII, line 600.
Action
Action is eloquence, and the eyes of the ignorant
More learned than the ears.
William Shakespeare, Coriolanus (c. 1608), Act III, Sc ii, line 76.
Action
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.
Georges Clemenceau, Clemenceau, The Events of His Life as Told by Himself to His Former Secretary, Jean Martet (1930) as translated by Milton Waldman; Conversation with Jean Martet (1 January 1928), Chapter 12.
