We must act out passion before we can feel it.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Commitment is an act, not a word.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.
Pablo Picasso

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
Pablo Picasso

One must act in painting as in life, directly.
Pablo Picasso

Passion is the evil in adultery. If a man has no opportunity of living with another man's wife, but if it is obvious for some reason that he would like to do so, and would do so if he could, he is no less guilty than if he was caught in the act.
Saint Augustine

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus

Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.
Albert Camus

I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.
Bill Gates

Act well your part, there all the honour lies.
Alexander Pope

Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part: there all the honor lies.
Alexander Pope

We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
Charles R. Swindoll

If all of us acted in unison as I act individually there would be no wars and no poverty. I have made myself personally responsible for the fate of every human being who has come my way.
Anais Nin

What distinguishes the majority of men from the few is their ability to act according to their beliefs.
Henry Miller

All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.
Henry Miller

One of the reasons why so few of us ever act, instead of react, is because we are continually stifling our deepest impulses.
Henry Miller

In the beginning was the Word. Man acts it out. He is the act, not the actor.
Henry Miller

The instant formal government is abolished, society begins to act. A general association takes place, and common interest produces common security.
Thomas Paine

There are two distinct classes of what are called thoughts: those that we produce in ourselves by reflection and the act of thinking and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord.
Thomas Paine

Criticize the act, not the person.
Mary Kay Ash
