Velocity Quotes

The soundest argument will produce no more conviction in an empty head than the most superficial declamation; as a feather and a guinea fall with equal velocity in a vacuum.

Find your speed, maintain your velocity, keep it up, keep it consistent, and stay in the pocket.

The velocity of decision making in government was extraordinary slow. It took 18 to 24 months and 15 to 20 trips to Delhi to get a license to import computers.

An observer can't tell if a person is silent and still because inner life has stalled or because inner life is transfixingly busy.

Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.

The great spirals, with their enormous radial velocities and insensible proper motions, apparently lie outside our Solar system.

Whenever the work is itself light, it becomes necessary, in order to economize time, to increase the velocity.

Market leadership can translate directly to higher revenue, higher profitability, greater capital velocity and correspondingly stronger returns on invested capital.

Something is funny, most of all, because it's true, and because the velocity of insight into this truth exceeds our normal standards. Something is funny because it's outside our accepted boundary of decorum. Something is funny because it defies our expectations. Something is funny because it offers a temporary reprieve from the hardship of seeing the world as it actually is. Something is funny because it is able to suggest gently that even the worst of our circumstances and sins is subject to eventual mercy.

The velocity with which time flies is infinite, as is most apparent to those who look back.

Now, the velocity of wave propagation can be seen, without the aid of any mathematical analysis, to depend on the elasticity of the medium and its density; for we can see that if a medium is highly elastic the disturbance would be propagated at a great speed.

I came to realize in my late 20s that my velocity is not going to grow so I had to learn to utilize what I had.

The Theory of Relativity confers an absolute meaning on a magnitude which in classical theory has only a relative significance: the velocity of light. The velocity of light is to the Theory of Relativity as the elementary quantum of action is to the Quantum Theory: it is its absolute core.

We are always getting away from the present moment. Our mental existence, which are immaterial and have no dimensions, are passing along the Time-Dimension with a uniform velocity from the cradle to the grave.

Arc, amplitude, and curvature sustain a similar relation to each other as time, motion, and velocity, or as volume, mass, and density.

The more opposition there is, the better. Does a river acquire velocity unless there is resistance? The newer and better a thing is, the more opposition I will meet with at the outset. It is opposition which foretells success. Where there is no opposition there is no success either.

When the velocity of progress increases beyond a certain point, it becomes indistinguishable from crisis.

Can quantum mechanics represent the fact that an electron finds itself approximately in a given place and that it moves approximately with a given velocity, and can we make these approximations so close that they do not cause experimental difficulties?

What's the orbital velocity of the moon?

A Dalit needs Jupiter's escape velocity to achieve success.

If the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about reengineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity.

My sailing system set sail, make it fast, no thoughts of energy or velocity, loll back, let boat drift.

...(that) any general system of conveying passengers would ... go at a velocity exceeding ten miles an hour, or thereabouts, is extremely improbable.

I haven't always thrown hard, but eventually my (velocity) caught up with my mechanics.

Velocity is one thing, but the thing that worries me is my ball-strike ratio is about 1-to-1.
