The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions.
I am a great believer in having the power to end your life and knowing that, in extremis, you can. But I would not want to involve anybody else in my actions if it could imperil them.
We’ve been taught to believe that actions speak louder than words. But I think words speak pretty loud all of our lives; we carry these words in our head.
When a child is watching television, he or she is not involved in play, not socializing with other individuals, and most importantly, not receiving feedback as to the actions or consequences of his or her behavior.
Because you basically won a close re-election, your first task is to unify the city. And it’s done not with words but with actions, by reaching out, to the supporters of your opponent as well as to reassure your own supporters.
I feel, in drama, you don’t need to be fed everything. Even though sometimes when you watch, you want to know what happened and you want to see it, I feel like sometimes it’s so much stronger to see the effects that those actions have had.
A republic – if you can keep it – is about limitation, and for good reason, because we are mortal and our actions are imperfect.

Counterintuitive actions prove we can trust real knowledge and do the opposite of what we feel makes sense.
People are decisions and actions.
Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life. Too many of us divide and dissipate our energies in debating actions which should be taken for granted.
What our leaders and pundits never let slip is that the terrorists – whatever else they might be – might also be rational human beings; which is to say that in their own minds they have a rational justification for their actions.
Today, our actions must be motivated only by our intense desire to achieve a just and lasting peace. The compassion and charity of the American people should be reflected in this legislation, though sadly, they are silenced.
The true basis of morality is utility; that is, the adaptation of our actions to the promotion of the general welfare and happiness; the endeavour so to rule our lives that we may serve and bless mankind.
A villain can be stylish, and his actions don’t have to be explained. Heroes are boring in comparison, even anti-heroes, as there’s always a justification for their bad actions.
I would certainly choose my jobs depending on the actions of the character. I won’t do anything that has to do with child abuse or women’s abuse.
Only actions give life strength; only moderation gives it charm.
This change to a higher phase of alert is a signal to governments, to ministries of health and other ministries, to the pharmaceutical industry and the business community that certain actions now should be undertaken with increased urgency and at an accelerated pace.
Don’t Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
‘Activate Your Goodness’ explains how we all have a stake in our collective future, each and every person in their own unique way. As I see it, it is all about personally taking responsibility for our actions, and fully realizing that by thinking good, speaking good and doing good, you can find your place in life.
Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. A patriot shows their their patriotism through their actions, by their choice.
Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.
I don’t expect people to forget my brash words or deeds. But I ask that they try to remember the actions that I took that were designed to help them.
Perhaps it has been too uncomfortable for those with vested interests to acknowledge, but we have spent the best part of the past century enthusiastically testing the world to utter destruction; not looking closely enough at the long-term impact our actions will have.
I think of my actions every day: what seems to be important and what isn’t.
But if I’m going to cause somebody else discomfort by my actions, then I should probably modify my actions toward them to make them as comfortable as possible.
We can’t create change until we recognize and check our own actions.
Seemingly small choices and small actions add up over time.
Self-discipline is an act of cultivation. It requires you to connect today’s actions to tomorrow’s results. There’s a season for sowing a season for reaping. Self-discipline helps you know which is which.
I let the actions of my life stand for what I am as a human being. Contend with that, not the words.
Turkey can be a bridge to regimes and actions the United States can’t reach. Turkey can talk to people the United States can’t talk to.
Libel actions, when we look at them in perspective, are an ornament of a civilized society. They have replaced, after all, at least in most cases, a resort to weapons in defense of a reputation.
We just have to be careful of our actions as world citizens.
At the federal level, the fiscal stimulus of 2008 and 2009 supported economic output, but the effects of that stimulus faded; by 2011, federal fiscal policy actions became a drag on output growth when the recovery was still weak.
Over the longer run, advanced economy policy actions that strengthen global growth and global trade will benefit the EMEs as well.
No one can be a yogi, maintaining a state of mental equilibrium, free from inner involvement in planned desireful activities, unless he has renounced identification with his ego and its unsatisfiable lust for the fruits of actions.
I would say that while most Muslims take offense at the portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad in cartoons, they would never resort to violence. It is a minority of extremist Muslims who take such actions, and they do it for political and tactical reasons far beyond just being offended.
I know how to move the people, but I know also where to stop in my own actions so that, when I strike, I shall be felt and not seen.

All human actions are equivalent… and all are on principle doomed to failure.
There’s so many politicians who have given politics a pretty poor name… their actions have been demonstrated to be part of their over-enthusiasm to get reelected.
All of our actions have consequences whether we know it or not. We never know what people are going through until something tragic happens – if they don’t talk about it.
In the not so distant past, we were close enough to our community to physically see how our actions impacted the group overall. Now it’s just too easy to look the other way, or turn off the TV or computer and detach ourselves from the others.
It is no surprise that companies do not often respond to moral pressure alone. We need to hit them hard in their pocketbook and on their balance sheet. We need to show them that their stock prices will be affected if their actions encourage Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions.
We’ve all done actions in our lives where we compromise what we believe in. And if we keep doing it, there’s no way back, no pride to hold on to.
Strong convictions precede great actions.
It is the duty and high privilege of every human being to endeavor to improve himself. Effort at self-improvement is the definition sometimes given for religion. It may relate to our actions or to our convictions. In our actions we should aim at goodness; in our convictions, at truth.
Bin Laden is remarkably eager for Americans to know why he doesn’t like us, what he intends to do about it and then following up and doing something about it in terms of military actions.
You need to understand how you lead, and in my case it is through my actions and the way I bring others into the game and also how I am able to form relationships. I am somebody who can earn people’s trust, and that’s crucial to how I try to lead the team.
I feel like if I live the Christian life, then the people should be able to see it in my everyday actions.
Unlike a state, a writer cannot plead the historical necessity of his actions.
Twitter didn’t make up the hashtag. Twitter didn’t make up the retweet. It’s our users. And people started using them so much that we decided to weave them into the product. I can’t think of another company that has taken its users’ actions and said, ‘We’re going to make them useful to everybody.’
