Movement Quotes

In photographs taken from the sky, cities resembled circuit boards. It was no surprise, really, that there were sparky misfirings, dangerous connections. Even traffic, Alice concluded, set up a kind of static in the air, let loose vibrations and uncontainable agitation. Freighted with more than they could absorb, with city intentions, citizens moved in designs of inexplicable purpose.

Now or never was the time.

Laurence Sterne

Who hesitate and falter life away and lose tomorrow the ground won today.

Can anything be sadder than work unfinished? Yes work never begun.

Christina Rossetti

Fear not that thy life shall come to an end but rather that it shall never have a beginning.

To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.

Sir Walter Scott

The distance doesn't matter only the first step is difficult.

Madame Marquise du Deffand

How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination?

Anonymous

There is no such thing as a long piece of work except one that you dare not start.

Charles Baudelaire

He who begun has half done. Dare to be wise begin.

Horace

It's weak and despicable to go on wanting things and not trying to get them.

When it comes to betting on yourself ... you're a chicken-livered coward if you hesitate.

Imposing limitations on yourself is cowardly because it protects you from having to try and perhaps failing.

Vladimir Zworykin

All know the way few actually walk it.

Seize opportunity by the beard for it is bald behind.

Bulgarian proverb

Procrastination usually results in sorrowful regret. Today's duties put off until tomorrow give us a double burden to bear the best way is to do them in their proper time.

Ida Scott Taylor

If you dam a river it stagnates. Running water is beautiful water.

English Proverb

Never mistake motion for action.

If a man would move the world he must first move himself.

Socrates

Action springs not from thought but from a readiness for responsibility.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

What you can do or dream you can do begin it boldness has genius power and magic in it.

Johann von Goethe

There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say "Yes I've got dreams of course I've got dreams." Then they put the box away and bring it out once in a while to look in it and yep they're still there. These are great dreams but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line to hold them up and say "How good or how bad am I?" That's where courage comes in.

The difference between getting somewhere and nowhere is the courage to make an early start.

Charles M. Schwab

All glory comes from daring to begin.

Anonymous

Imagination is haunted by the swiftness of the creatures that live on the mountain - eagle and peregrine falcon, red deer and mountain hare. The reason for their swiftness is severely practical: food is so scarce up there that only those who can move swiftly over vast stretches of ground may hope to survive. The speed, the whorls and torrents of movement, are in plain fact the mountain's own necessity. But their grace is not necessity. Or if it is - if the swoop, the parabola, the arrow-flight of hooves and wings achieve their beauty by strict adherence to the needs of function - so much the more is the mountain's integrity vindicated. Beauty is not adventitious but essential.

Moving provides meaning for our humble (if still vicious) life of four-dimensional existence. Four-dimensional existence makes the frightening fox hunt into an entertainment, or war into a pastime or a sport. Even when evil is dull and monotonous, there tends to be a lot of movement, action and entertainment involved. Maybe movies are evil.

Simplicity itself is the key. Education in ballet, dance, martial arts, etc., is done through poses, or to be more precise, through a countless series of poses. Perfection of movement is achieved through the flow of perfectly rehearsed poses.

Nicholas Romanov

My calm is like the tides: never at rest.

The first morning I really sat and watched him it was a Tuesday. I know that because Tuesday is trash day for our neighborhood. Unlike me, he leaves gathering up his trash for the morning of pickup instead of doing it the night before. My alarm went off at 6 AM and I went in to start the coffee maker, and as I went about selecting a bit of fruit from the bowl on my kitchen table I looked out the window. It was just a casual glance, and the human eye is attracted to movement.

Benjamin R. Smith

Not every ROAD we come across in our daily life is one we have to take. Sometimes just standing still and being, can BE the best move we ever make.

Our Victrola stood in the diningroom. I was allowed to climb onto the seat of a diningroom chair to wind it, start the record turning, and set the needle playing. In a second I'd jumped to the floor, to spin or march around the room as the music called for - now there were all the other records I could play too. I skinned back onto the chair just in time to lift the needle at the end, stop the record and turn it over, then change the needle. Winding up, dancing, being cocked to start and stop the record, was of course, all in one the act of listening. Movement must be at the very heart of listening.

I know that no matter how lonely I get, I'll never be truly alone again. Our loved ones don't leave us. They just move out of sight for a while, and wait...in the shades.

Stop waiting and start working. Stop wishing and start walking.

Israelmore Ayivor

In the Bay, whenever I got depressed, I always drove out to the Ocean Beach. Just to sit. And, I don't know, something about looking at water, how it just goes and goes and goes, something about that I found very soothing. As if somehow I were connected to every ripple that was sending itself out and out until it reached another shore.

Cisneros Sandra

Move your body.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Every dance you make belongs to you. It is part of your collection. When you think of it like that, you'll want to make your next routine the best you've ever made!

Torron-Lee Dewar

Every movement based on the kingdom principles brings a positive turn around

Don't worry. You'll find your message in your mess.

Seeking answers to questions is what draws us forward. When you have no more questions you live in the satisfaction of the present moment. You have no more questions when you finally learn that love is the answer. Love is always the answer.

We can compare a life without a goal to an equestrian on an obstinate horse: much movement but little headway

An organization has worth when its movement has a tangible goal

The real dance is a spontaneous body movement that in harmony with the beats of the music in your heart.

Toba Beta

Life is all energy and it multiplies and spreads. Energy doesn’t have the color of its own, but it waits for you to add, whatever you want to it. Whatever color you choose to give to your energy, it attracts the similar energy into your life.

There's always next level, new decisions, and new episode. My life inspired by challenges

Desmond Oshifeso

Sometimes it’s only in the ecstasy of unrepressed movement that we may enter the stillness of our authentic selves. In such sacred moments, the world seems to be in step. This is why the idea of finding love across the dance floor endure — symbolizing that, when we know the true rhythm of our heart, we know the other.

Alexandra Katehakis

Weather is cyclical. It’s falling and then rising. It’s movement. Swaying, drifting, and swirling. It’s power. Gravity, evaporation, and erosion. It’s a potpourri of human emotion. Happiness, sadness, elation, and disappointment.

A confident leader is like a duck. Above the water, he is calm and poised while below the water, he is driven by a flurry of focused activity.

Progress and motion are not synonymous.
