Stars With High Proper Motion
The following are the stars with highest proper motion from the Hipparcos catalog.(see List of stars in the Hipparcos Catalogue) It does not include stars such as Teegarden's star which are too faint for that catalog. A more complete list of stellar objects can be made by doing a Criteria query at http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/ .

Famous quotes containing the words stars, high, proper and/or motion:
“Ere he was born, the stars of fate
Plotted to make him rich and great:
When from the womb the babe was loosed,
The gate of gifts behind him closed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Crude men who feel themselves insulted tend to assess the degree of insult as high as possible, and talk about the offense in greatly exaggerated language, only so they can revel to their heart’s content in the aroused feelings of hatred and revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“There’s not the smallest orb which thou behold’st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins;
Such harmony is in immortal souls,
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
