Swifter, higher, stronger.
Pierre de Coubertin
Image
I think that there's something extremely beautiful about the Olympic ideal and its motto - 'Swifter, higher, stronger' - it's such a beautiful motto, and it celebrates everything which is the antithesis of death and dissolution and entropy.
Chris Cleave
Image
First of all there will appear to you, swifter than lightning, the luminous splendor of the colorless light of Emptiness, and that will surround you on all sides. ...Try to submerge yourself in that light, giving up all belief in a separate self, all attachment to your illusory ego.
Gautama Buddha
Image
With hope or without hope we will follow the trail of our enemies. And woe to them, if we prove the swifter!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
Thought can wing its way Swifter than lightning-flashes or the beam That hastens on the pinions of the morn.
James Gates Percival
Image
Though fear should lend him pinions like the wind, yet swifter fate will seize him from behind.
Jonathan Swift
Image
Nothing is swifter than our years.
Ovid
Image
Know this, that troubles come swifter than the things we desire.
Plautus
Image
Lo! while we are gazing, in swifter haste Stream down the snows, till the air is white, As, myriads by myriads madly chased, They fling themselves from their shadowy height. The fair, frail creatures of middle sky, What speed they make, with their grave so nigh Flake after flake, To lie in the dark and silent lake!
William C. Bryant
Image
Our life is what we make it. An insignificant game or a noble trial a dream or a reality a play of the senses worn out in selfish use, and flying swifter than a weaver's shuttle, or an ascension of the soul, by daily duties and unfaltering faith, to more spiritual relations and to loftier toils.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Image
Nothing is swifter than rumor.
Horace
Image
He became quicker of movement than the other dogs, swifter of foot, craftier, deadlier, more lithe, more lean with ironlike muscle and sinew, more enduring, more cruel more ferocious, and more intelligent. He had to become all these things, else he would not have held his own nor survived the hostile environment in which he found himself.
Jack London
Image
Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. Our requirements for world leadership, our hopes for economic growth, and the demands of citizenship itself in an era such as this all require the maximum development of every young American's capacity. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
John F. Kennedy
Image
The greater our innocence, the greater our strength and the swifter our victory
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
By and large, I seem to have made more mistakes than any others of whom I know, but have learned thereby to make ever swifter acknowledgment of the errors and thereafter immediately set about to deal more effectively with the truths disclosed by the acknowledgment of erroneous assumptions.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Image
I go, I go, look how I go, swifter than an arrow from a bow
William Shakespeare
