I'm saying: to be continued, until we meet again. Meanwhile, keep on listening and tapping your feet.

Count Basie

If you feel like tapping your feet, tap your feet.

Art Blakey

The golden rule of drums is hands clapping and feet tapping, and when you are in and out of consciousness, you can't do that to best of your ability.

Steven Adler

Become better listeners. Practice the art of listening in everything you do. Not just listening to yourself and your body, but listening to the people around you, listening to the plant world, the animal world. Really open your ears to what's coming at you. From there, see if you can have the ability to respond instead of react. And that usually comes with listening. If the observation and the listening are deep, then your action will be deep also.

Rodney Yee

Be practical as well as generous in your ideals. Keep your eyes on the stars, but remember to keep your feet on the ground.

Theodore Roosevelt

Physics says: go to sleep. Of course you're tired. Every atom in you has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes nonstop from mitosis to now. Quit tapping your feet. They'll dance inside themselves without you.

Albert Goldbarth

If your opponent is tapping, your technique is good. If he is not tapping, your technique sucks.

Carlson Gracie

Listening is not merely hearing, it is receiving the message that is being sent to you. Listening is reacting. Listening is being affected by what you hear. Listening is letting it land before you react. Listening is letting your reaction make a difference. Listening is active.

Scott Kelly

Four hoarse blasts of a ship's whistle still raise the hair on my neck and set my feet to tapping.

John Steinbeck

I started tapping and I was okay. Then after about two years my feet knew what they were doing!

Adam Garcia

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for stars.

Casey Kasem

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.

Fame is a weird thing. I think maybe I learned to never get too big for your boots. Keep your feet on the ground and keep your head down and work hard - that's probably what I learned from my parents more than anything. Remain generous and kind, and have humility.
