Gliding Action

Famous quotes containing the words gliding and/or action:

    One might call habit a moral friction: something that prevents the mind from gliding over things but connects it with them and makes it hard for it to free itself from them.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Rash actions are seldom committed in isolation. With the first rash action we always do too much. So we usually go on to commit a second one—and then we do too little.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
