Motion

"Intuition is the wisdom formed by feeling and instinct - a gift of knowing without reasoning... Belief is ignited by hope and supported by facts and evidence - it builds alignment and creates confidence. Belief is what sets energy in motion and creates the success that breeds more success."

"There are as many types of motion or change as there are meanings of the word 'is'."

"The fulfilment of what exists potentially, in so far as it exists potentially, is motion."

"In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point whence the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead."

"That which is in locomotion must arrive at the half-way stage before it arrives at the goal."

"Questions do not change the truth. But they give it motion."

"If everything when it occupies an equal space is at rest, and if that which is in locomotion is always occupying such a space at any moment, the flying arrow is therefore motionless."

"Newton... not only found a precise mathematical use for concepts like force, mass, inertia; he gave new meanings to the old terms space, time, and motion, which had hitherto been unimportant but were now becoming the fundamental categories of men's thinking."

"The motions of the heavenly bodies could be charted according to Ptolemy just as correctly as according to Copernicus."

"Nicholas of Cusa... dared to teach that there is nothing at all without motion in the universe — the latter is infinite in all directions, possessing no centre — and that the earth travels its course in common with the other stars. That this widening of the intellectual horizon of the age, with the suggestion of new centres of interest, was a decisive factor in Copernicus' personal development, the brief biographical sketch which he gives of himself in the De Revolutionibus strongly suggests."

"It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man."

"Sunrise offered a very beautiful spectacle; the water was quite unruffled, but the motion communicated by the tides was so great that, although there was not a breath of air stirring, the sea heaved slowly with a grand and majestic motion."

"You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own."

"Something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover…"

"Movement through space is fundamental to life: movement of the entire organism, such as walking; movement of a part of the organism, such as an arm; movement of materials within the organism, such as food in the stomach; movement of offspring into the external world, as in birth. Each is a mechanism indispensable to virtually all members of the animal kingdom. In the end, it is muscle that accomplishes movement. As a consequence, muscle is the most abundant tissue in most animals and accounts for much of the energy-consuming cellular work in an active animal."

"Yet it is in this loneliness that the deepest activities begin. It is here that you discover act without motion, labor that is profound repose, vision in obscurity, and, beyond all desire, a fulfillment whose limits extend to infinity."

"Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it."

"I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people."

"The alternation of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed."

"Whatever is always in motion is immortal."

"The connection to place, to the land, the wind, the sun, stars, the moon... it sounds romantic, but it's true - the visceral experience of motion, of moving through time on some amazing machine - a few cars touch on it, but not too many compared to motorcycles. I always felt that any motorcycle journey was special."

"Look at what you want to change, gather a few people who believe in it like you do, and start moving forward. It's important to remember that you don't always need a destination. Sometimes, you just have to make forward motion. And you absolutely can."

"Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."

"Painting is concerned with all the 10 attributes of sight; which are: Darkness, Light, Solidity and Colour, Form and Position, Distance and Propinquity, Motion and Rest."

"One purpose of physics is to study the motion of objects—how fast they move, for example, and how far they move in a given amount of time. NASCAR engineers are fanatical about this aspect of physics as they determine the performance of their cars before and during a race. Geologists use this physics to measure tectonic-plate motion as they attempt to predict earthquakes. Medical researchers need this physics to map the blood flow through a patient when diagnosing a partially closed artery, and motorists use it to determine how they might slow sufficiently when their radar detector sounds a warning."

"Sex is an emotion in motion."

"The fate of this man or that man was less than a drop, although it was a sparkling one, in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea."
