A funeral is not death, any more than baptism is birth or marriage union. All three are the clumsy devices, coming now too late, now too early, by which Society would register the quick motions of man. – E. M. ForsterRate it:
A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree or draw a child by studying the outlines of its form merely . . . but by watching for a time his motions and plays, the painter enters into his nature and can then draw him at every attitude . . . – Ralph Waldo EmersonRate it:

Beavers bred in captivity, inhabiting a concrete pool, will, if given the timber, fatuously go through all the motions of damming and ancestral stream. – Evelyn Waugh, Work Suspended (1943)Rate it:
Compared to other teams in China and the U.S. we have focused a lot on the versatility. So this (HyQ) platform can do many different motions ranging from very fast motions like a run or a jump. But it can also do the more careful navigation on rough terrain where we need to plan really one foothold after the next. And this is important, once we see the 3D map of the environment we can start to understand how to best move through that environment, we don't want to be the fastest or the best climber, but we want to have a machine that can do many of these motions; as in the real world, the machine will need to have many different skills. – Claudio SeminiRate it:
Everything you do is very gentle, you don’t want to do jerky motions ever. – Robert HamiltonRate it:
Hither the heroes and nymphs resort,To taste awhile the pleasures of a courtIn various talk th'instuctive hours they past,Who gave the ball, or paid the visit lastOne speaks the glory of the British Queen,And one describes a charming Indian screenlA third interprets motions, looks and eyesAt every word a reputation dies. – Alexander PopeRate it:
I bear solemn witness to the fact that NATO heads of state and of government meet only to go through the tedious motions of reading speeches, drafted by others, with the principal objective of not rocking the boat. – Pierre Elliott TrudeauRate it:

I've never seen China respond with concessions to someone throwing down the gauntlet in this manner, it suggests to me that the U.S. may have determined that progress was impossible so everyone is just going through the motions. – Scott KennedyRate it:
If any amendments are brought forward to force premature opinions on mid-trial questions, I will move to table such amendments, if a senator moves to amend the resolution in order to subpoena specific witnesses or documents, I will move to table such motions because the Senate will decide those questions later in the trial. – Mitch McConnellRate it:
Immigrant Legal Resource Center looks pretty uphill to do anything, since the names are redacted, the likelihood that all the pieces fit together to find the person and file the motions for Immigrant Legal Resource Center to happen seems very low. – Lena GraberRate it:
It almost sounds like they were going through the motions with the Clinton investigation—but boy they sure were excited about the Russia one. – Trey GowdyRate it:
It was supposed to be just a plan and High School students were supposed to just go through the motions of marketing and figuring out business analysis since it was for economics. And High School students actually went through with it and High School students made the actual book and it's a real business now and that was the crazy part. – Lauryn HongRate it:
Jellyfish have existed for over 500 million years, and over that time, their body structure has remained largely unchanged, so it's interesting to figure out what makes them so special and how we can learn from them, because we use animals with natural swimming motions, the hope is that they won't disturb the environment in the same way that a submarine might, so we can expand the types of environments we can monitor. – Nicole XuRate it:
Jumping falls into a type of exercise we call plyometrics, these exercises involve quicker, shorter motions that stimulate the stretch reflex. That reflex is responsible for explosive movement, like an outfielder reacting to a fly ball. – Scott CaulfieldRate it:
Men go abroad to wonder the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering. – St. AugustineRate it:
Mr. Cohen and Brent Blakely can't deal with the truth, the facts, and the law, so they have to resort to unethical, meritless motions. – Michael AvenattiRate it:
Progress celebrates victories over nature. Progress makes purses out of human skin. When people were traveling in mail coaches, the world got ahead better than it does now that salesmen fly through the air. What good is speed if the brain has oozed out on the way? How will the heirs of this age be taught the most basic motions that are necessary to activate the most complicated machines? Nature can rely on progress; it will avenge it for the outrage it has perpetrated on it. – Karl KrausRate it:

Sure there is music even in the beauty, and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument. For there is music wherever there is harmony, order and proportion; and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres; for those well ordered motions, and regular paces, though they give no sound unto the ear, yet to the understanding they strike a note most full of harmony. – Sir Thomas BrowneRate it:
The Boy Scouts have gone through the motions -- they want more. – Brooke GoffRate it:
