Bob Goff Quotes

When it's all over, you're remembered for what you did, not what you said you were going to do.

What you do has far greater impact than what you say.

Actions are remembered long after words are forgotten.

Everything you say and do is having an impact on others.

Speeches pass away, but acts remain.

A thousand words can't make the mark a single deed will leave.

The world will not remember what you say, but it will certainly not forget what you have done.

There are generations yet unborn, whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take.

We do make a difference - one way or the other. We are responsible for the impact of our lives. Whatever we do with whatever we have, we leave behind us a legacy for those who follow.

Most of us are going through life without interrogating whether our decision-making processes are fit for purpose. And that's something we need to change - especially when the stakes are high and the decisions are of real import.

Apologies are great, but they don't really change anything. You know what does? Action.

History passes the final judgment.

The main thing is to make history, not to write it.

Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.

Consequences are unpitying. Our deeds carry their terrible consequences, quite apart from any fluctuations that went before—consequences that are hardly ever confined to ourselves. And it is best to fix our minds on that certainty, instead of considering what may be the elements of excuse for us.

Speech is the mirror of action.

You can say the opposite of something you've said but you can't do the opposite of something you've done.

Our acts make or mar us, we are the children of our own deeds.

Whatever we do or fail to do will influence the course of history.

Actions lie louder than words.
