It becomes still more difficult to reconcile Japanese action with prudence or even sanity. What kind of people do they think we are?
I never worry about action, but only about inaction
There are plenty of good ideas, if only they can be backed with the power of action.
Watch your actions, they become your habits.
I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.
I am your servant. You have the right to dismiss me when you please. What you have no right to do is ask me to bear responsibility without the power of action.
I'm finished ... I'm done. What I want above all things is to take some active part in beating the Germans ... I'd go out to the Front at once.
Here was a place where real things were going on. Here was a scene of vital action. Here was a place where anything might happen. Here was a place where something would certainly happen. Here I might leave my bones.
Luckily ... there were Zulus and Afghans, also the Dervishes in the Soudan. Some of these might, if they were well-disposed, 'put up a show' some day.
I myself find waiting more tiring than action.
We will mete out to the Germans the measure and more than the measure that they have meted out to us. We will have no truce or parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst and we will do our best.
I never worry about action, but only inaction.
Things do not get better by being left alone.
I like things to happen, and if they don't happen I like to make them happen.
