Quotes About Motion

God who gave Animals self motion beyond our understanding is without doubt able to implant other principles of motion in bodies [which] we may understand as little. Some would readily grant this may be a Spiritual one; yet a mechanical one might be showne, did not I think it better to pass it by.

To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.

Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion.

Resistance is usually ascribed to bodies at rest, and impulse to those in motion; but motion and rest, as commonly conceived, are only relatively distinguished; nor are those bodies always truly at rest, which commonly are taken to be so.

the one as much as it advances that of the other. If a body impinge upon another, and by its force change the motion of the other, that body also (because of the equality of the mutual pressure) will undergo an equal change, in its own motion, towards the contrary part.

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

Isaac Newton

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

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

It takes some real hard running to stay in the same place

The electrical universe meant that 'eternal life and perpetual motion are almost, or altogether, synonymous' – that is to say, impossible.30 Time therefore, for revolution on earth since there was no hope of heaven.

You can only flap your arms so much before gravity catches up to you.

When gravity calls, something falls.

Going to work for a large company is like getting on a train. Are you going sixty miles an hour or is the train going sixty miles an hour and you're just sitting still?

The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body's total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form?

Without time and space, nothing can change, and without change, it is hard to imagine any reality worth imagining.

An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by an outside force.

I try to point my finger,/ but the wind keeps// spinning me around

I am a vigilant monarchist. I want to see things evolve. The direction the monarchy seems to be moving in - towards a more mainland-European model - is one I would feel sympathetic about.

Yet if anyone believes that the earth rotates, surely he will hold that its motion is natural, not violent.

The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving; and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science.

I'll play anything Mario- or Zelda-related, but Fortnite is one step beyond me. I don't get anything from it but motion sickness and an increased sense of anxiety about how violent future generations are going to be.

The Sensorium Galaxy Planet of Motion is the future. We are memorizing dance because dance will exist in a virtual world forever. The Planet of Motion is a game changer and I'm happy to be involved in this collaboration.

In swimming at my level it's about control of the small movements. A good ballet dancer floats across the stage, the best sprinters virtually abolish gravity. All motion occurs in the right direction.
