“Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation ... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen, even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.”
“Just as iron rusts from disuse, even so does inaction spoil the intellect.”
“I never worry about action, but only about inaction”
Winston Churchill
“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.”
Norman Vincent Peale
“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
Dale Carnegie
“Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.”
Will Rogers
