Necessity of action takes away the fear of the act, and makes bold resolution the favorite of fortune.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Action makes more fortune than caution.
Necessity does the work of courage.
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Determination, energy, and courage appear spontaneously when we care deeply about something. We take risks that are unimaginable in any other context.
Actions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.
Creative risk taking is essential to success in any goal where the stakes are high. Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity.
No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.
Action is consolatory. It is the enemy of thought and the friend of flattering illusions.
It is an endless and frivolous Pursuit to act by any other Rule than the Care of satisfying our own Minds in what we do.
