    Quotes and sayings containing the term backwards

    A man with a half volition goes backwards and forwards, and makes no way on the smoothest road a man with a whole volition advances on the roughest, and will reach his purpose, if there be even a little worthiness in it. The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder - a waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you.

    – Thomas Carlyle

    I used to go to the movie theater and watch horror movies and you know black people, we yell s --- at the screen, i ’d go watch like a Freddy movie and you ’d hear people saying s --- like, ‘ Oh, b ----, get out of the house ’ or ‘ No. no, no -- don’t walk backwards ! ’ or ‘ You’re white -- call the cops ! ’ I got it in my head that there was a missing piece of the conversation. There was a film that we were asking for, begging for that was n’t there for us.

In my mind I think I must try to save my head so I tried to bring it forwards, but as soon as I do he grabs it again and bashes it.

    – Shaker Aamer

    When you’re sitting, set an alarm or some indication every 15 to 20 minutes to get up and change your position, if you’re standing, you need to be dynamic.
