Worry is like rocking in a rocking chair all day, because it keeps you busy but gets you nowhere.

Joyce Meyer

Worry is like a rocking chair; it keeps you in motion but gets you nowhere

Ashwin Sanghi

Use crazy glue and nails to turn a rocking chair into just a chair that looks like a rocking chair.

Demetri Martin

Americans have a taste for…rocking-chairs. A flippant critic might suggest that they select rocking-chairs so that, even when they are sitting down, they need not be sitting still. Something of this restlessness in the race may really be involved in the matter; but I think the deeper significance of the rocking-chair may still be found in the deeper symbolism of the rocking-horse. I think there is behind all this fresh and facile use of wood a certain spirit that is childish in the good sense of the word; something that is innocent, and easily pleased.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Praying is like a rocking chair - it'll give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.

Gypsy Rose Lee

Worrying gets you nowhere. If you turn up worrying about how you're going to perform, you've already lost. Train hard, turn up, run your best and the rest will take care of itself.

Usain Bolt

I am a boring loner. I enjoy Friday nights at home in my rocking chair with no arms, rocking and relaxing. It's not uncommon for Netflix to be involved. Records are a possibility, but most of it is spent in silence.

[On her 101-year-old sister and herself, at 103:] We have a lot to do ... People don't understand this. They think we're sitting around in rocking chairs, which isn't at all true. Why, we don't even own a rocking chair.

Sarah Louise Delany

Looking at the past is like lolling in a rocking chair. It is so relaxing and you can rock back and forth on the porch, and never go forward.

Martha Graham

That would bring tears to the eyes of a rocking chair.

Bucky Harris

When I'm an old dude in a rocking chair, I'll have these great war stories.

Matt Serra

The forest of Compiegne. Look at it. Like a kind grandmother dozing in her rocking chair. Old trees practicing curtsies in the wind because they still think Louis XIV is king.
