I sometimes forget that life is fragile. The fact that I have more time to dream my dreams and take my ease is no reason at all to disregard the moment I'm in by preferring to be somewhere else. I have to remind myself that wherever I am. . . fast lane or slow lane, in traffic or out of traffic, racing or resting . . . God is there. He is in me, abiding in me, thus making it possible for me to be all there, myself.

Luci Swindoll

Learning to endure, transform by perspective or action, and be grateful is the fast lane to a good life. That's right. Having great luck and fortune is not the conduit to a loving and enjoyable life; gratitude is.

Laura Schlessinger

Voices surround us, always telling us to move faster. It may be our boss, our pastor, our parents, our wives, our husbands, our politicians, or, sadly, even ourselves. So we comply. We increase the speed. We live life in the fast lane because we have no slow lanes anymore. Every lane is fast, and the only comfort our culture can offer is more lanes and increased speed limits. The result? Too many of us are running as fast as we can, and an alarming number of us are running much faster than we can sustain.

Mike Yaconelli

Lou Barlow

As kids, we played on the streets without shoes, and the game didn't stop for oncoming traffic.

Naby Keita

I can’t stop traffic on Fifth Avenue, not unless I walk in front of an oncoming cab.

Benedict Cumberbatch

The city - as the theater of experience, the refuge, the hiding place - has, in turn, been replaced by an abstraction, the fast lane. In the fast lane, the passive observer reduces everything - streets, people, rock lyrics, headlines - to landscape. Every night holds magical promises of renewal. But burnout is inevitable, like some law of physics.

Darryl Pinckney

I'm surprised when I see someone doing the logical, commonsense thing: Walk facing the oncoming traffic.

Robert James Thomson

I have come to Dacres Lane for the first time. Believe me, I haven't seen so many food stalls on one lane ever in my life.

Mimi Chakraborty

I changed my mind," he said. "I'll take you up on helping me get a job." I almost swerved into oncoming traffic.

Richelle Mead

When you're in your lane, there's no traffic.

Ava DuVernay

By managing the speed of traffic and opening the hard shoulder as a new running lane in times of congestion, the M42 pilot showed that it is possible to smooth traffic flow and improve journey reliability safely on a seriously congested route. And it has proved popular with drivers whose motoring experience has improved.
