A person who is enlightened does not have to reincarnate, or they may. If they chose not to, they can go beyond the wheel, and slide into nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I was interested in flying beginning at age 7, when a close family friend took me in his little airplane. And I remember looking at the wheel of the airplane as we rolled down the runway, because I wanted to remember the exact moment that I first went flying... the other thing growing up is that I was always interested in science.
David M. Brown

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
Alexander Pope
Image
so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens.
William Carlos Williams
Image
Strength may wield the ponderous spade, May turn the clod, and wheel the compost home But elegance, chief grace the garden shows, And most attractive, is the fair result Of thought, the creature of a polished mind.
William Cowper
Image
Now stir the fire, and close the shutters fast, Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa around, And while the bubbling and loud-hissing urn Throws up a steamy column, and the cups That cheer but not inebriate, wait on each, So let us welcome peaceful evening in
William Cowper
Image
Like a bicycle, like a wheel that, once rolling, is stable only so long as it keeps moving but falls when its momentum stops, so the game between a man and woman, once begun, can exist only so long as it progresses. If the forward movement today is no more than it was yesterday, the game is over.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

I was looking to do a comedy and found a group of guys that were really supportive of my interests in it, though it was a little outside of my wheel house. Strangely, I visited the set of Knocked Up and met Seth [Rogen] and Evan [Goldberg] and Judd[Apatow] and Shauna [Robertson].
Seth Rogen

Ka was a wheel it was also a net from which none ever escaped.
Stephen King

If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds, and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?
William Hartnell
Image
Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Not only ought fortune to be pictured on a wheel, but every thing else in this world.
George Herbert
Image
A man without religion or spiritual vision is like a captain who finds himself in the midst of an uncharted sea, without compass, rudder and steering wheel. He never knows where he is, which way he is going and where he is going to land.
William J. H. Boetcker
Image
Lyric night of the lingering Indian Summer, Shadowy fields that are scentless but full of singing, Never a bird, but the passionless chant of insects, Ceaseless, insistent. The grasshopper's horn, and far-off, high in the maples, The wheel of a locust leisurely grinding the silence Under a moon waning and worn, broken, Tired with summer.
Sara Teasdale
Image
It is an awful thing to get a glimpse, as one sometimes does, when the time is past, of some little, little wheel which works the whole mighty machinery of fate, and see how our destinies turn on a minute's delay or advance.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Image
Human memory works its own wheel, and stops where it will, entirely without reference to the last stop, and with no connection with the next.
William Saroyan
Image
Thou art a soul in bliss but I am bound Upon a wheel of fire that mine own tears Do scald like molten lead.
William Shakespeare
Image
Though Fortune's malice overthrow my state, My mind exceeds the compass of her wheel.
William Shakespeare
Image
The misery which follows pleasure is the pleasure which follows misery. The pleasure and misery of mankind revolve like a wheel.
Akkineni Nagarjuna
Image
In the end, the Wheel crushes us all.
Margaret Stohl

One of my producers said this business is like a hamster on that little wheel thing that goes around and around. You may have a great day and get great ratings, but then you've got another show to do - whatever moment of success or happiness you have you've got to keep grinding it out for the next day.
Sean Hannity
Image
The fly sat upon the axel-tree of the chariot-wheel and said, 'What a dust do I raise!'
Aesop
Image
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Aesop

The word revolution itself has become not only a dead relic of Leftism, but a key to the deadendedness of male politics: the revolution of a wheel which returns in the end to the same place the revolving door of a politics which has liberated women only to use them, and only within the limits of male tolerance.
