Just as iron rusts from disuse, and stagnant water putrefies, or when cold turns to ice, so our intellect wastes unless it is kept in use.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Great talents, by the rust of long disuse, Grow lethargic and shrink from what they were.
Ovid
Image
Forms and rituals do not produce worship, nor does the disuse of forms and rituals. We can use all the right techniques and methods, we can have the best possible liturgy, but we have not worshiped the Lord until Spirit touches spirit.
Richard J. Foster

Walt Disney

There is a fundamental law that the tissue of the human body will waste away through idleness and disuse. Conversely, muscles and vessel that are stressed grow and increase in capacity. This same basic law also applies to spiritual and intellectual growth and can be achieved only by continual nourishment and effort in day-to-day living.
Clarence Robison

Leonardo da Vinci
Image
Obviously I was disappointed when it fell into disuse, because it was my own track named after me, but I am sure all those youngsters we lost will be coming back, and I certainly intend to be down here as much as I can, coaching and advising.
Linford Christie
Image
It's so important to encourage the use of sun cream, tan in a bottle and the disuse of sun beds which are known world-wide as causes of skin cancer.
Peter Andre
Image
Languages, like our bodies, are in a perpetual flux, and stand in need of recruits to supply those words that are continually falling, through disuse.
Tom Felton
Image
A grand and almost untrodden field of inquiry will be opened, on the causes and laws of variation, on correlation of growth, on the effects of use and disuse, on the direct actions of external conditions, and so forth.
Charles Darwin
Image
The principle of investing is that by use you possess and gain, by disuse you decline and lose.
Edwin Louis Cole
Image
[The disarming of citizens] has a double effect, it palsies the hand and brutalizes the mind: a habitual disuse of physical forces totally destroys the moral [force] and men lose at once the power of protecting themselves, and of discerning the cause of their oppression.
Joel Barlow
Image
Just as iron rusts from disuse... even so does inaction spoil the intellect.
Leonardo da Vinci
