For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Many have extrapolated this physical notion to diplomatic, military, and political affairs.
Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in kind.
No action is ever an isolated event. Always, it invites from the universe a reaction that corresponds exactly to the type and the force of energy behind the deed.
To any action there is always an opposite and equal reaction; in other words, the actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal and always opposite in direction.
Everybody knows that if they're happy then usually the people around them are happy, or that people around them happy make them a little happier; that's a proved thing, like "I give to you and you give to me"; they all know that but they haven't thought about it to the point of every action that they do. That's what it is with every action that you do, there's a reaction to it, and if you want a good reaction then you do a good action, and if you want a bad one, then you punch somebody.
What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what.
Evil events from evil causes spring, And what you suffer flows from what you've done.

The cheap drama brings cause and effect, will power and action, once more into relation and gives a man the thrilling conviction that he may yet be master of his fate.
I think that if you shake the tree, you ought to be around when the fruit falls to pick it up.
Strummer's Law: No input, no output.
All life is a boomerang. We receive what we give.
Our last deed, like the young of the land crab, wends its way to the sea of cause and effect as soon as born, and makes a drop there to eternity.
Government is like physics, you know - for every action, there's a reaction.
Rash actions are seldom committed in isolation. With the first rash action we always do too much. So we usually go on to commit asecond one--and then we do too little.
A Warrior knows that everything a person does has enduring consequences.
In politics, as in physics, every reaction is met with an equal and opposite reaction.
To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.
You make problem, you have problem
But once you throw a stone, there are ripples in the pond, even if you remove the rock.
We are free to choose our response in any situation, but in doing so we chose the attendant consequence. If we pick up one end of the stick, we pick up the other.
A man often imagines that he acts, when he is acted upon.
It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger.
Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. . . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.
If the apple hit Newton’s nose, Newton’s nose hit the apple.
