QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON INERTIA
Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful.
Samuel Beckett (1906-1989, Irish dramatist, novelist)
All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right-about-face which turns us from failure towards success.
Dorothea Brande (American success writer)

Robert Collier (1885-1950, American writer, publisher)
Once in motion, a pattern tends to stay in motion.
J. G. Gallimore
Lest he should wander irretrievably from the right path, he stands still.

You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.
