People confound, misuse, interchange thinking and speaking, not realizing that speaking is for communication and thinking is for action.

No matter how closely we look, it is difficult to find a mental act that can take place without the support of some physical function.

We have more experience of movement and more capacity for it than of feeling and thought... We know much more about movement than we do about anger, love, envy or even thought. It is relatively easy to learn to recognize the quality of movement than the quality of other factors.

In order to recognize small changes in effort, the effort itself must first be reduced. More delicate and improved control of movement is possible only through the increase of sensitivity, through a greater ability to sense differences.

Movement is life; without movement life is unthinkable.

Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.

Ultimately, we become aware of most of what is going on within us mainly through the muscles.
