inaction

Well, there was a sort of bastard justice in his view of the case, and so I dropped the matter. When you can't cure a disaster by argument, what is the use to argue?

It requires a certain kind of bravery, I suppose, to choose the status quo. There's a certain boldness to inaction.

We have to accept that any action we take might promote an equal and opposite reaction that we do not want. We have to realize that even the most noble actions or most obviously correct course can have its dark side that we cannot control or reason our way out of. The fighter of the "just war" must understand that her actions will result in the deaths of other humans; many of whom may be innocent. The pacifist who refuses all war must realize that his inaction might likewise result in the deaths of the innocent. There are no actions without contradiction__nd yet we must act, for not to act is also a contradictory action with both positive and negative effects.

Change does not surface when you are not ready to be the catalyst. Your reaction matters, not your inaction.

We are the sum of our actions, and of our inactions, yes, that is easy enough to understand. What comes harder is finding ourselves the sum of our emotions, which flicker, altered by experience, by the things we cannot bear to tell ourselves, by the trouble we accrue, the flattening and tamping down as we learn how not to be hurt. As we learn protection and the easiest means of protection.

For any business decision, there are only two choices: action or inaction. The best option is to take action." - Ramesh Lohia and Jack T. Parker, consultants, iSixSigmaKaizen . In Quality Quotes, February 25, 2015, Knowledge Center, ASQ [ AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR QUALITY]

Take full responsibility of yourself, of your actions and of your inaction. It is only when you can truly and honestly face yourself that you can make any changes for the better. If you had a hand in it then you also have a hand in what you do going forward. Act on what you can do. Don't fret or stress over that which you can't control. Don't assign your responsibility as blame to others. Don't allow others to assign their responsibility as blame on to you. Be fair with yourself and others. Focus on positive momentum. Don't speak cruelly to yourself. Don't berate yourself. What is done is done. Focus instead on what you can do now, in this moment, moving forward. Empower yourself into change and betterment. It is up to you to advocate for your highest potential. That is the work you must do.

Oh, the others will talk and plan and make oaths and promises, but there are precious few fuckers who will do.

Inaction is the worst action of human beings!

Tolerance never exists without negative judgment. It is the sentiment of having a negative opinion about something yet still putting up with it.

In action is the worst action of human beings!

If he acts, if he doesn't, it's meaningless. The whole thing goes forward. No one is important. No one at all.

A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.

There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.
