Women's Movement Quotes and Quotations
 Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.  What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it; boldness has genius, power and magic in it. There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, "Yes, I've got dreams, of course, I've got dreams." Then they put the box away and bring it out once in a while to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, "How good or how bad am I?" That's where courage comes in. The difference between getting somewhere and nowhere is the courage to make an early start. All glory comes from daring to begin. How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination? More powerful than the will to win is the courage to begin. Courage to start and willingness to keep everlasting at it are the requisites for success. There is no such thing as a long piece of work, except one that you dare not start. To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so. He who begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin. - Horace It's weak and despicable to go on wanting things and not trying to get them. When it comes to betting on yourself ... you're a chicken-livered coward if you hesitate. Imposing limitations on yourself is cowardly because it protects you from having to try, and perhaps failing. All know the way, few actually walk it. The distance doesn't matter, only the first step is difficult. Seize opportunity by the beard, for it is bald behind. Procrastination usually results in sorrowful regret. Today's duties put off until tomorrow give us a double burden to bear; the best way is to do them in their proper time. If you dam a river it stagnates. Running water is beautiful water. Never mistake motion for action. A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o' clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone. There is clearly much left to be done, and whatever else we are going to do, we had better get on with it. Procrastination is the thief of time. Slaying the dragon of delay is no sport for the short-winded. If a man would move the world, he must first move himself. - Socrates Who hesitate and falter life away, and lose tomorrow the ground won today. Now or never was the time. Can anything be sadder than work unfinished? Yes; work never begun. Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning. Go ahead with your life, your plans.... Don't waste time by stopping before the interruptions have started. A hard beginning makes a good ending. We may our ends by our beginnings know. The only joy in the world is to begin. Every artist was first an amateur. The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.
