We may make progress only by freeing ourselves from the rut of the past, but without this rut an orderly society would hardly be possible in the first place.

Robert Heilbroner

The great advantage of being in a rut is that when one is in a rut, one knows exactly where one is.

Arnold Bennett

There are those who would misteach us that to stick in a rut is consistency - and a virtue, and that to climb out of the rut is inconsistency - and a vice.

Mark Twain

Were marriage no more than a convenient screen for sexuality, some less cumbersome and costly protection must have been found by this time to replace it. One concludes therefore that people do not marry to cohabit; they cohabit to marry. They do not seek freedom to rut so much as they seek the rut of wedlock.

Virgilia Peterson

I think that's what's important, to see how we ourselves can become all that we are and can be. Everybody says they want to change, but it's not that simple, it's not that easy. Who's ready to change and give up? Who's ready to get out of their rut and leave it behind, not just pour honey or syrup over their heads and over the rut? Who's ready to change and give up that rut, who's ready willing and able?

Surya Das

Laurence J. Peter

A rut is a grave with the ends kicked out.

Earl Nightingale

I've lived an amazing life. There's no reason to focus on the bad. They teach you that in racing school. Keep your eye where you want your front tire to be. You don't want to be stuck in the rut? Then don't look at the rut. Always look at where you want to go.

Francesco Quinn

A rut... is little more than a coffin with the ends kicked out.

James Hunter

More often than not I've found, a rut is a consequence of sticking to tried and tested methods that don't take into account how you or the world has changed.
