People are like bicycles. They can keep their balance only as long as they keep moving.

Where you stand today does not matter; it is the direction in which your are moving, and the rate at which you travel, that count.

Every step starts with a step.

Start moving, a step at a time, step after step. The positive momentum will take you from there.

Marriages are always moving from one season to another. Sometimes we find ourselves in winter--discouraged, detached, and dissatisfied; other times we experience springtime, with its openness, hope, and anticipation. On still other occasions we bask in the warmth of summer--comfortable, relaxed, enjoying life. And then comes fall with its uncertainty, negligence, and apprehension. The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons repeat themselves in nature.

If you don't make bold moves, the world doesn't move forward.

Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and I think of any society of living things.

To stand still is to fall behind.

Take a rest and the world catches up with you. Lesson in life--keep moving.
