solitude begins with a time and a place for God, and God alone. If we really believe not only that God exists but also that God is actively present in our lives-- healing, teaching and guiding-- we need to set aside a time and space to give God our undivided attention. (Matt 6:6) Henri Nouwen
George S. Patton quote: "An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body."
An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body. George S. Patton
[He] went on to say that during all those years he had done nothing at all, that all he had felt had been a need to live, to live actively, violently, noisily, a need to sing, to make music, to roam the woods, to drink a little too much and get involved in a brawl. Edmond de Goncourt

Most ideas come while I'm physically active, at the gym, with friends, gardening, so I always carry pen and paper.My first draft is always written in longhand.

To make the existence and coherent structure of this Universe depend upon automatic activity and upon chance is against all good sense. Plotinus
Zombies are the liberal nightmare. Here you have the masses, whom you would love to love, appearing at your front door with their faces falling off; and you’re trying to be as humane as you possibly can, but they are, after all, eating the cat. And the fear of mass activity, of mindlessness on a national scale, underlies my fear of zombies. Clive Barker

An active, brave, outspoken (and heard) citizenry is essential to a healthy democracy. Jane Fonda
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow quote: "The life of man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming..."
The life of man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams but in active charity and in willing service. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Audrey Hepburn quote: "For my whole life, my favorite activity was reading. It's not..."
For my whole life, my favorite activity was reading. It's not the most social pastime. Audrey Hepburn
And if the truth of all things that are is always in our soul, then the soul must be immortal, so you should take courage and whatever you do not happen to know, that is to remember, at present, you must endeavour to discover and recollect...I cannot swear to everything I have said in this argument? but one thing I am ready to fight for in word and deed, that we shall be better, braver and more active men if we believe it right to look for what we do not know, than if we think we cannot... Plato
Slang, too, is the wholesome fermentation or eructation of those processes eternally active in language, by which froth and specks are thrown up, mostly to pass away; though occasionally to settle and permanently chrystallize. Walt Whitman
I did not care for the things that most people care abou? making money, having a comfortable home, high military or civil rank, and all the other activities, political appointments, secret societies, party organizations, which go on in our city . . . I set myself to do yo? each one of you, individually and in privat? what I hold to be the greatest possible service. I tried to persuade each one of you to concern himself less with what he has than with what he is, so as to render himself as... Socrates
Would you have references?"I'm awfully sorry but I haven't. I just arrived in New York, and don't know a soul. Except you." I smiled but she didn't smile back.
