LOVE IN ACTIONThis is a featured page


Action should culminate in wisdom. --Bhagavadgita, 4, tr. P. Lal.

The future is knocking at our door right now. Make no mistake, the next generation will ask us one of two questions. Either they will ask: “What were you thinking; why didn’t you act?” Or they will ask instead: “How did you find the moral courage to rise and successfully resolve a crisis that so many said was impossible to solve?” We have everything we need to get started, save perhaps political will, but political will is a renewable resource. So let us renew it, and say together: “We have a purpose. We are many. For this purpose we will rise, and we will act.”--Al Gore

Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.--Dietrich Bohoeffer, "Thoughts on Baptism (1953) tr. Eberhard Bethge

He that has done nothing has known nothing.--Thomas Carlyle, "Corn-Law Rhymes" (1832)

The materials of action are variable, but the use we make of them should be constant.--Epictetus, Discourses (2nd c.), 2.5 tr. Thomas W. Higgenson.
