A fiery chariot, borne on buoyant pinions, Sweeps near me now! I soon shall ready be To pierce the ther's high, unknown dominions, To reach new spheres of pure activity!

A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action.. You must act as you breathe.

A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.

Accidental and fortuitous concourse of atoms.

Accidents will occur in the best regulated families.

Act as if it were impossible to fail.

Action to be effective must be directed to clearly conceived ends.

Actions of the last age are like almanacs of the last year.

And circumstance, that unspiritual god, And miscreator, makes and helps along Our coming evils, with a critch-like rod, Whose touch turns hope to dust--the dust we all have trod.

And grasps the skirts of happy chance, And breasts the blows of circumstance.
