Sloth becomes a sin when it slows down and even brings to a halt the energy we must expend in using the means to salvation. — John Hardon
If you want to shrink something, you must first allow it to expand. If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish.

Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results. — Lao Tzu
Okay," I said. "Just a normal afternoon and two normal people." She nodded. "And so...hypothetically, if these to people likes each other, what would it take to get the stupid guy to kiss the girl, huh?" "Oh..." I felt like one of Apollo's sacred cows-slow, dumb, and bright red. "Um. — Rick Riordan
The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time.

We are witnessing a slow, steady takeover of our true freedoms. We are becoming a socialist nation, and whoever can't see this is probably hoping it isn't true.

This great America will become a paralyzed nation. — Jon Voight
If you're climbing big routes that'll take you 16 hours, or, like, El Capitan, you have to take something like a big, robust sandwich.

The advice is, go slow and take your time with it. That works to my benefit. — William Fitzsimmons
I used to go to all the environmental conferences when I wasn't an invited speaker. I was just somebody in the back taking a lot of notes. It was when I was least visible that I came up with the most cool stuff. Now, because I don't get to be Clark Kent, I feel like my learning curve is slowing way down. I'm always afraid the conversation will move on and I'll be up at the front of the room saying last year's speech. — Van Jones
Movies are about time. You can take that momentum and manipulate time as well, or you can deliberately slow it down, stop it, and start it again. There is no other art form that does that type of manipulation in that way. — Danny Boyle
