Vegetation is the basic instrument the creator uses to set all of nature in motion. Antoine Lavoisier

This time the smaller groups kept modestly in the background. My mental eye, rendered more acute by the repeated visions of the kind, could now distinguish larger structures of manifold confirmation: long rows, sometimes more closely fitted together. August Kekulé

They were about the size of a large grain of sand, and their bodies being transparent, that the internal motion could plainly be seen. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

I saw in the body of one of these animalcules a bright and round corpuscle, placed near the head, and in which a very wonderful swift motion was to be seen, consisting of an alternate extension and contraction. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, except insofar as it doesn't. Arthur Eddington

In a car of a fast express train objects fall in just the same way as in a coach that is standing still. Only when we look at objects outside the train, or when the air can enter the car, do we notice indications of the motion. Hendrik Lorentz

Whenever, hitherto, these diminutive beings had appeared to me, they had always been in motion: but up to that time I had never been able to discern the nature of their motion. August Kekulé

Windmills, which are used in the great plains of Holland and North Germany to supply the want of falling water, afford another instance of the action of velocity. The sails are driven by air in motion - by wind. Hermann von Helmholtz
