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

Demetri Martin

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

Joyce Meyer

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

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.

Glenn Turner

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.

Valerie June

[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

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

Ashwin Sanghi

Ah, I'm a woman that's been clear around the world in my rocking chair, and I tell you we all get surprises now and then.

Eudora Welty

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

I'm going to be singing Dreams and Rhiannon when I'm 75 - and that's just fine with me. I just hope my chiffon doesn't get tangled in my rocking chair.

Stevie Nicks

When praying for the Lord's will about something questionable, don't give up if you don't receive clear leading after one prayer; just keep on praying until God makes it clear.

Curtis Hutson

Regret isn't going to get me anywhere. It's like being obsessed with something. It doesn't bring you anywhere.

Stanley Kubrick

In life, you gotta do something. And the medical journals keep on saying if you've got a goal or some passion in life, you'll outlive all the other guys who - the bank manager that retired. They gave him a rocking chair and he rocked himself to death. So you gotta have a passion, whatever it happens to be. Whether it's this or something else, it doesn't matter, as long as it's a reason to get out of bed every morning, as my accountant of 50 years keeps on saying.

James Wright

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.

Billy Wilder
