Swim Quotes

Learning an instrument isn’t about becoming a star anymore than learning to swim means you want to become a haddock Picture Quote #1

On the way I thought about how millions of people drowned so that the first person could learn to swim. The amazing thing is that people still drown Picture Quote #1

For me, the desire exists less to get myself a degree than to just go and have the whole college experience, and throw myself into the brain pool and see if I can swim Picture Quote #1

Basically, I get paid to be crazy. I get paid to believe I’m someone else, live in a completely false reality, and believe it’s real. And that’s a little scary. And I do it to the best of my ability. But it’s kind of like swimming out to sea. You have to leave enough energy to swim back, and sometimes you get scared you swam too far Picture Quote #1

We used to sleep five to a bed and three of them used to wet the bed. I learnt to swim before I could walk Picture Quote #1

All the answers you may wish for lie within faith, but it demands a complete and incontinent surrender, an immersion as total as any baptism. Indeed baptism is a kind of enactment of the surrender: you bathe in faith, you swim in it, you live by it, surrounded by it, buoyed up by it, engulfed by it. You drown in it, for at times it takes your breath away as entirely as any lungful of water... All the answers lie in faith; and when you lose your faith you have no choice but to substitute for if a philosophy that deliberately and coldly offers no answers at all Picture Quote #1

All things and all people in life have to sink or swim on their own merits, not their reputation; that just as a wise man can say a foolish thing, a fool can say something wise Picture Quote #1

I swim. I do a little bit of surfing. I would say I’m a beginner at surfing. I run. I cycle. I play a little bit of soccer Picture Quote #1

Other nights... I visualize to the point that I know exactly what I want to do: dive, glide, stroke, flip, reach the wall, hit the split time to the hundredth, then swim back again for as many times as I need to finish the race Picture Quote #1

I was taught that if you see a person drowning, you must jump into the water to save them, whether you can swim or not Picture Quote #1

I knew that the stronger that I was, the faster I was going to swim, and thats all I had in my mind at the time, was I wanted to be the best swimmer in the world Picture Quote #1

Solving problems is a practical skill like, let us say, swimming. We acquire any practical skill by imitation and practice. Trying to swim, you imitate what other people do with their hands and feet to keep their heads above water, and, finally, you learn to swim by practicing swimming. Trying to solve problems, you have to observe and to imitate what other people do when solving problems, and, finally, you learn to do problems by doing them Picture Quote #1

As the pen rises from the page between words, so the walker’s feet rise and fall between paces, and as the deer continues to run as it bounds from the earth and the dolphin continues to swim even as it leaps again and again from the sea, so writing and wayfaring are continuous activities, a running stitch, a persistence of the same seam or stream Picture Quote #1

Lord of hosts! When I swim in the merciful waters of your grace I find that I can neither plumb nor measure the depths Picture Quote #1

Start with a growing market. Swim in a stream that becomes a river and ultimately an ocean. Be a leader in that market, not a follower, and constantly build the best products possible Picture Quote #1

I look forward to the day when animals will have the right to run if they have legs, swim if they have fins, and fly if they have wings Picture Quote #1

Today I saw cancer, cigarettes, and shortness of breath. This is why I walk to the ocean. Swim with sharks and jellyfish. I may never get this chance again. This is why if you want to kiss, you should kiss. If you want to cry, you should cry. And if you want to live, you should live. You don’t have to love me. You already did Picture Quote #1

I stood looking down through the beech trees. When I threw a stone I could count to five before the splash. Then I jumped in a rush of gold to the head, through black and cold, red and cold, brown and warm, giving water the weight and size of myself in order to imagine it, water with my bones, water with my mouth and my understanding. When my body was in some way a wave to swim in, one continuous fin from head to tail, I steered through rapids like a canoe, digging my hands in, keeping just ahead of the river Picture Quote #1

If it doesn’t swim, run, or fly, or isn’t green and grow in the ground, don’t eat it Picture Quote #1

Every day we’re given a choice: We can relax and float in the direction that the water flows, or we can swim hard against it. If we go with the river, the energy of a thousand mountain streams will be with us... if we resist the river, we will feel rankled and tired as we tread water, stuck in the same place Picture Quote #1

Communication is the essential medium of a creative culture: the communal sea in which we all swim. A company that can’t communicate is like a jazz band without instruments: Music just isn’t going to happen Picture Quote #1

I wanted to get the fastest time in the world this year, but with everything going on, it’s a pretty decent swim,... I knew I was under world record pace. You could tell by the crowd. You can always tell at these meets when something good is going on because of the crowd Picture Quote #1

We are never far from the lilt and swirl of living water. Whether to fish or swim or paddle, of only to stand and gaze, to glance as we cross a bridge, all of us are drawn to rivers, all of us happily submit to their spell. We need their familiar mystery. We need their fluent lives interflowing with our own Picture Quote #1

This pen is my only outlet, my only voice, because I have no one else to speak to, no mind but my own to drown in and all the lifeboats are taken and all the life preservers are broken and I don’t know how to swim I can’t swim I can’t swim and it’s getting so hard. It’s getting so hard. It’s like there are a million screams caught inside of my chest but I have to keep them all in because what’s the point of screaming if you’ll never be heard and no one will ever hear me in here. No one will ever hear me again Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it was easier to swim with the current rather than fight against it. There was always a shallow pool somewhere ahead. Memories are like battles, and battles can go one way or the other. You can stand and fight, no matter what pains run from you wounds; or you can turn tail and run, knowing then that the enemy will follow and without mercy hunt you down. We had so many dreams as children. Where do they all go when we grow? Are they swallowed up by the mundane things of everyday life? Or do we lose them, leave them behind us in the dust, for new children to find and take up? Picture Quote #1

I can’t swim but if my girlfriend was drowning, I’d still dive in to save her Picture Quote #1

After the clinch, it doesn’t matter what happens, one way or another, we’re going to hit the ground, and we’ll be in my world. The ground is my ocean, I’m the shark, and most people don’t even know how to swim Picture Quote #1

The child is born speaking the languages of birds; the child has horns and scales and wings; it has a beak; it has a cloven hoof. He is the sum of all creatures: the ones that swim, the ones that soar, the ones that leap, the ones that maze the earth with burrows Picture Quote #1

God’s way of dealing with us is to throw us into situations over our depth, then supply us with the necessary ability to swim Picture Quote #1

Humankind is able to create new conditions, a new reality. We are not fated to swim forever among the realities that are here now... Everything that is worthwhile in human civilization has not only originated from but has been inspired by dreams, by imagination Picture Quote #1
