Motions

Famous quotes containing the word motions:

    How often our involuntary facial motions testify to the thoughts we were keeping secret, and betray us to those around!
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    A funeral is not death, any more than baptism is birth or marriage union. All three are the clumsy devices, coming now too late, now too early, by which Society would register the quick motions of man.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    If you are to reach masses of people in this world, you must do it by a sign language. Whether your vehicle be commerce, literature, or politics, you can do nothing but raise signals, and make motions to the people.
    John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
