The Quotable Moss

A list of things I’m glad (or in some cases not so glad) I said.

• It is necessary to relax your muscles when you can. Relaxing your brain is fatal.
• It has taken me thirty three years and a bang on the head to get my values right.
• To achieve anything in this game, you must be prepared to dabble on the boundary of disaster.
There are two things no man will admit he cannot do well: drive and make love. I was taught that everything is attainable if you are prepared to give up, to sacrifice, to get it. Whatever you want to do, you can do it, if you want it badly enough, and I do believe that. I believe that if I wanted to run a mile is four minutes I could do it. I would have to give up everything else in my life, but I could run a mile in four minutes. I believe that if a man wanted to walk on water and was prepared to give up everything else in life, he could do that.
• If God had meant for us to walk, why did he give us feet that fit car pedals?
• Movement is tranquillity.
