Wim Quotes

There’s a great metaphor that one of my doctors uses: If a fish is swimming in a dirty tank and it gets sick, do you take it to the vet and amputate the fin? No, you clean the water. So, I cleaned up my system. By eating organic raw greens, nuts and healthy fats, I am flooding my body with enzymes, vitamins and oxygen Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I love anything that involves the ocean. Swimming, snorkelling or surfing are all fun, which distracts from your mind that you are actually doing a workout. Being outdoors in the sun and the salt water is great for freeing your mind and feeling alive Picture Quote #1

I grew up very much an athlete and very much a swimmer and a dancer and a horse rider and surf lifesaving club, you name it I’ve probably done it. I just find so much gratification in being physical Picture Quote #1

Right whales, for all their size, are surprisingly athletic. They roll, they slap their flukes, they lift their heads out of the water in a move known as a spy hop. They find playthings and are particularly fond of swimming repeatedly through clumps of seaweed, which slides over them like a feathered boa Picture Quote #1

God is coming! God is coming! All the element we swim in, this existence, echoes ahead the advent. God is coming! Can’t you feel it? Picture Quote #1

If it’s nice out, I swim pretty much every day for about half an hour. I have a great pool; it’s very private and not too many people use it Picture Quote #1

Our thoughts will swim around and talk to us while we’re sitting there, make fun of us, ignore us. But if you pay attention, if you don’t look in the direction of your thoughts, you meditate Picture Quote #1

Most people exist in very clouded states of mind. It’s sort of like when you’re underwater in a big swimming pool and you open your eyes, and you can’t see very far and everything is distorted Picture Quote #1

Reincarnation is the dissolution of the self. It’s like going swimming in the ocean, no one ever comes out, because one has become the ocean Picture Quote #1

Any man will admit if need be that his sight is not good, or that he cannot swim or shoots badly with a rifle, but to touch upon his sense of humour is to give him mortal affront Picture Quote #1

Life is just the same as learning to swim. Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live! Picture Quote #1

Some lives drift here and there like reeds in a stream, depending on changing currents for their activity. Others are like swimmers knowing the depth of the water. Each stroke helps them onward to a definite objective Picture Quote #1

I love running, swimming and riding, sleeping and eating, reading and loving things that everybody likes Picture Quote #1

Some people like to focus on other aspects of my life, but first and foremost I am a dedicated and top swimmer Picture Quote #1

I love the summer... the warm weather, hangin out with friends, and swimmin in the warm water... but most importantly grabin a glove and a ball and playin some softball in the heat Picture Quote #1

Artists who believe they control everything control what they know. Artists who allow outside forces to intervene are like canoes going down rapids. The rocks are there. If you fight them, you fly off the bow. If you allow the current to take you, you can pass through swimmingly. It is a rare gift at every bend Picture Quote #1

Swimming is a confusing sport, because sometimes you do it for fun, and other times you do it to not die. And when I’m swimming, sometimes I’m not sure which one it is Picture Quote #1

When I think of the flag... I see alternate strips of parchment upon which are written the rights of liberty and justice, and stripes of blood to vindicate those rights, and then, in the corner, a prediction of the blue serene into which every nation may swim which stands for these great things Picture Quote #1

Be thou what thou singly art and personate only thyself. Swim smoothly in the stream of thy nature and live but one man Picture Quote #1

Museums just seem to have this borrowed cachet-if I want to seem cultural, I will design something cultural. I resist the idea that culture is only opera houses or theatres. Culture is your entire life around you: toilets, the bus, the kerb or the dump where you drag your waste. Culture has come to mean the arts, but it’s swimming pools as well Picture Quote #1

Ive got to get my real skills up; like, I got to get my skills up, cause in case of a crazy catastrophe, I might have to learn how to swim Picture Quote #1

Swimming is my passion and something that I love. Going out there in the water, it feels as if there’s nothing wrong with me. I go out there and train as hard as anybody else. I have the same dreams, the same goals. It doesn’t matter if you look different. You’re still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream Picture Quote #1

When a politician says, concerning an issue involving science, that the debate is over, you may be sure the debate is rolling on and not going swimmingly for his side Picture Quote #1

I know something about performing. I know that when it seems like the avalanche is about to roll over you, you face into it and keep both arms swimming as hard as you can. You smile and you sell it Picture Quote #1

Past the village flowed the river, like time, like life itself, waiting for the swimmer to come again on his way to the climax of his adventurous life, and to the end for which he had been made Picture Quote #1

Time and rest are needed for absorption. Psychologists confirm that it is really in the summer that our muscles learn to skate and in the winter, how to swim Picture Quote #1

Death is like a fisherman, who, having caught a fish in his net, leaves it in the water for a time; the fish continues to swim about, but all the while the net is round it, and the fisherman will snatch it out in his own good time Picture Quote #1

I am afraid we are little better than straws upon the water; we may flatter ourselves that we swim, when the current carries us along Picture Quote #1

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, writers will go to stupefying lengths to get the infernal roar of words out of their skulls and onto paper Picture Quote #1
