Human Action Quotes

It is impossible to describe any human action if one does not refer to the meaning the actor sees in the stimulus as well as in the end his response is aiming at Picture Quote #1

There is in the universe something for the description and analysis of which the natural sciences cannot contribute anything. There are events beyond the range of those events that the procedures of the natural sciences are fit to observe and describe. There is human action Picture Quote #1

The world looks with some awe upon a man who appears unconcernedly indifferent to home, money, comfort, rank, or even power and fame. The world feels not without a certain apprehension, that here is someone outside its jurisdiction; someone before whom its allurements may be spread in vain; some one strangely enfranchised, untamed, untrammelled by convention, moving independent of the ordinary currents of human action Picture Quote #1

As the amount of inputs go up, as the number of people and ideas that clamor for attention continue to increase, we do what people always do: we rely on the familiar, the trusted and the personal. The incredible surplus of digital data means that human actions, generosity and sacrifice are more important than they ever were before Picture Quote #1

We are in the midst of the 6th largest extinction event in the history of the plant and the first caused by human action Picture Quote #1

Positive human action is not only possible, but pervasive; human beings can improve and choose light and so on. And this is all happening Picture Quote #1

The fundamental principle of human action, the law, that is to political economy what the law of gravitation is to physics is that men seek to gratify their desires with the least exertion Picture Quote #1

... it is as true in morals as in physics that all force is imperishable; therefore the consequences of a human action never cease Picture Quote #1

I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them Picture Quote #1

Don’t let us forget that the causes of human actions are usually immeasurably more complex and varied than our subsequent explanations of them Picture Quote #1

Let us not forget that the reasons for human actions are usually incalculably more complex and diverse than we tend to explain them later, and are seldom clearly manifest Picture Quote #1

... no human actions ever were intended by the Maker of men to be guided by balances of expediency, but by balances of justice Picture Quote #1

I shall consider human actions and desires in exactly the same manner, as though I were concerned with lines, planes and solids Picture Quote #1

The history of mankind is the history of ideas. For it is ideas, theories, and doctrines that guide human action, determine the ultimate ends men aim at, and the choice of the means employed for the attainment of these ends Picture Quote #1

Economics is uncertain because its fundamental subject matter is not money but human action. That’s why economics is not the dismal science, it’s no science at all Picture Quote #1

Human judgment of human actions is true and void, that is to say, first true and then void... The judgment of the word is true, the judgment in itself is void... Only he who is a party can really judge, but as a party he cannot judge. Hence it follows that there is no possibility of judgment in the world, only a glimmer of it Picture Quote #1

Decisive inventions and discoveries always are initiated by an intellectual or moral stimulus as their actual motivating force, but, usually, the final impetus to human action is given by material impulses... merchants stood as a driving force behind the heroes of the age of discovery; this first heroic impulse to conquer the world emanated from very mortal forces Picture Quote #1

It seems that if you put people on paper and move them through time, you cannot help but talk about ethics, because the ethical realm exists nowhere if not here: in the consequences of human actions as they unfold in time, and the multiple interpretive possibility of those actions Picture Quote #1
