Inaction- christiansquoting.org.uk

With the majority the ship of thought is allowed to "drift" upon the ocean of life. Aimlessness is a common vice, and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction. James Allen

Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows all virtues. Franklin (1706-1790)

It is safer, but not easier. Paradoxically, it is easier ulitmately to engage, confront or resist a situation than to run away from it. The consequences of engagement can be success or failure, the first to be remembered with pleasure and the second with disappointment. But in escaping, the consequences remain unknown. They taunt with memories of failure feared fruitlessly and success foolishly foregone.Asad Latif

Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and, in cold, water becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. Leornado Da Vinci

The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialised - and never knowing. David Viscott
