Tsimba Itsoka (There is no footprint without the foot)
- Shona proverb cited by Oliver Mtukudzi

There is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.
- Rainer Maria Rilke (Archaic Torso of Apollo)

Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can substitute for putting one foot in front of the other.
- Mary Caroline Richards

If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.
- Thomas Edison

It's not the big leap, but the small step that makes the journey.
- Popular saying

Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.
- Charles Dickens, David Copperfield

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

My obligation is this: To be transparent.
- Pablo Neruda

What unifies a movement? After we go home from the demonstration, are we still a movement? Only if we're grounded in a shared vision … Having a vision means we have some fundamental idea of how we want the world to be … A movement articulates something for the future … It's not enough to express our individualities. What kind of a world do you want for everybody? And how can that world be demonstrated?
- Michael Ventura, Letters at 3AM

It's our game. They just play it.
- Fan's assessment of Australian footy, Sports Factor

Look ahead for open spaces. Let young people be given the opportunity of taking an active and not merely a passive interest in games. It is often said that our young men are too much addicted to outdoor games - cricket, football etc., but I think the contrary is the case. They are possibly too much addicted to looking at games, and that is not a healthy exercise. They like to congregate in crowds, often cooped up in enclosures, and that leads to barracking, cigarette smoking and even gambling on the result of the game. A remedy for the gambling evil and an encouragement of manly sports with the physical development and moral discipline which healthy competition affords, lies not mainly in places like the Sydney Cricket Ground. I look upon that institution as the place of spectacle, as the university of sport.
- Joseph Maiden, Director of the Botanic Gardens, Rugby League: More than just a game

Bristol's fans are the 16th man on the pitch.
- BBC

You'll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind.
- Irish proverb

When you come to a wall that is too high to climb you should throw your cap over the wall so that you have no choice but to find a way over the wall.
- Irish proverb

Don't forget why you came to the dance.
- Michael Franti and Spearhead, Yell Fire, Everybody Ona Move

When a thing is intelligible, you have a sense of participation; when a thing is unintelligible you have a sense of estrangement.
- E.F. Schumacher, Small is Beautiful

Para mi solo recorrer los caminos que tienen corazon, cualquier camino que tenga corazon. (I only trek the paths that have heart, whatever path that has heart.)
- Carlos Castaneda, The Teachings of Don Juan

Think Globally, Act Locally
- Popular expression

Don't be a horse race, be marathon. Don't fear the long road, coz on a long road, u got a long time to sing a simple song. And it's never too late to start the day over. It's never too late to pick up the phone.
- Michael Franti, Everyone deserves music

Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it.
- Tom Lehrer

No one's center is like anyone else's. Find your own center, not the center of your neighbor, not the center of your father or mother or family or ancestor, but the center that is yours and yours alone.
- Malidoma Some, Of Water and the Spirit

The map is not the territory.
- Alfred Korzybski

The one who does not play the guitar can sing a song; the one who does not sing a song can write a verse; the one who does not write a verse reads a book.
- Proverb, Ecuador

Please stop referring to yourselves as consumers. Consumers are different than citizens. Consumers do not have obligations, responsibilities and duties to their fellow human beings. As long as you are using the word 'consumer' in the public discussion you are degrading the discussion we are having and we are going to continue being clueless.
- James Howard Kunstler, The tragedy of suburbia

In a high technology age, you actually want easy entertainment.
- Roger Beaumont, jumpin
