Mimi Kennedy Quotes

It is indeed a law of politics as well as of physics, that a body in action must overcome a body at rest.

Momentum,' She repeats. 'You can't just stand there if you want something to fly. You have to run.

I figured it out eventually," she says. She's sitting on the edge of the gurney again; her features slowly materialize as my vision clears. "It's momentum." "What?" I whisper. The feeling returning to my lips, spreading out to my fingertips and toes. "Momentum," she repeats. "You can't just stand there if you want something to fly. You have to run.

What goes up must come down.

Acceleration is finite, I think according to some laws of physics.

If you move something 10 pounds through space and then stop suddenly, there's a little overshoot. When you transfer weight from one leg to another, there's a certain way that it happens.

Playgrounds are essentially machines to induce Newtonian physics on our own bodies.

In bodies moved, the motion is received, increased, diminished, or lost, according to the relations of the quantity of matter and velocity; each diversity is uniformity, each change is constancy.

Resistance is usually ascribed to bodies at rest, and impulse to those in motion, but motion and rest, as commonly conceived, are only relatively distinguished; nor are those bodies always truly at rest, which commonly are taken to be so.

Who will not suffer labor in this world, let him not be born.

Though we may never be able to comprehend human life, we know certainly that it is a movement, of whatever nature it be. The existence of movement unavoidably implies a body which is being moved and a force which is moving it. Hence, wherever there is life, there is a mass moved by a force. All mass possesses inertia; all force tends to persist.

Labour is the purgatory of the erring.

Labor is really going to hurt.

The life you want is on the other side of the labor pains it takes to birth it.

Mine is the horny hand of toil.

You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.

The great weight of the ship may indeed prevent her from acquiring her greatest velocity; but when she has attained it, she will advance by her own intrinsic motion, without gaining any new degree of velocity, or lessening what she has acquired.

By the sweat of your brow shall you get bread to eat.

The universe is composed of matter, and, as a system, is sustained by motion. Motion is not a property of matter, and without this motion the solar system could not exist.

When a body acts upon another one, it is always immediately or through some intermediate body; this intermediate body is in general what one calls a machine.

You got to have a lot of mass to be able to produce a lot of ground reaction force, to function off of the ground, to press off of the ground.

Everyone that works knows that work is hard sometimes.

No one wants to hear about the labor pains, they just want to see the baby.

A point of rest alone explains motion.
