James Lankford Quotes

What interests me is seeing a problem and doing something about it, not all of the stuff around it.

Be a doer and not a critic.

Complaining doesn't make a difference; it's useless and it's wasted energy.

Rather than wait to be discovered, discover yourself. Whatever it is that you intend to do later, start doing it now, get good at it, and show people what you've done. Actions speak louder than words.

The important thing is that when you come to understand something you act on it, no matter how small that act is. Eventually it will take you where you need to go.

Speak less but act more.

Realize that if you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.

Begin somewhere; you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.

It is not enough just to wish well; we must also do well.

When you're in a situation, you can complain about it, you can feel sorry for yourself, you can do a lot of things. But how are you gonna make the situation better?

It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little.

I'm not going to win games by talking about it. Just by doing it.

I take the bull by the horns and make a plan and go for it.

As I've said many times, it's one thing to dream about something; it's another thing to experience it. It's one thing to think you're good enough; it's another thing to know you're good enough.

We need to stop talking and start acting, and I am more than eager to be part of that change.

The truth of the matter is, we're not far away from where we should be. We can complain about the problem or we can go out and solve the problem. I choose to go out and try to solve the problem.

There's nothing to be gained from passive observance, the simple documenting of conditions, because, at its core, it sets a bad example. Every time something is observed and not fixed, or when one has a chance to give in some way and does not, there is a lie being told, the same lie we all know by heart but which needn't be reiterated.

Things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up.

Either I will find a way, or I will make one.

I believe you have to make things happen.

We live in a world where action is what counts.

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

Some people get in the way of change happening. Some people spend their whole careers thinking they can make a difference. Other people want to do as little as possible to get the day done.

I believe that when you find problems, you should also find solutions.

The best way to escape from your problem is to solve it.
