right action
examples of use:
Knowledge may be a good in itself, but knowledge without ***right action*** will bring us to a world in which the pursuit of knowledge itself is impossible—a world in which books are burned, libraries closed, the search for truth is repressed, and disinterested leisure lost.
I hope it is not too naive to expect the contrary from genuinely liberal education, in school and out. I have some reason to believe that those who have really read the great books will probably think well and soundly on the issues we face today. The man who thinks clearly about practical problems certainly knows that they are well solved only by ***right action***.
