You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948) Indian Nationalist Leader

David Gurteen's comments: Its obvious what Ghandi means by this statement but of course doing nothing is also a form of action and there are results. If you act there are intended and unintended consequences and if you don't act the same is true though I think you are more likely to get the results you are looking for if you act. But sometimes not acting is the wiser course of action.

Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.

I have compiled over 800 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.
