Calm Quotes

The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea.

– Rafael Nadal

Sitting by the chimney corner as we grow old, the commonest things around us take on live meanings and hint at the difference between these driving times and the calm, slow moving days when we were young.

– Rebecca Harding Davis

The Egyptian Nile, though it does have its own particular hazards, is subject to none of what I find in Rhode Island. Since the Aswan High Dam was built in 1973, the Nile has become something of a grand canal. It is wide, flat, slow, and so calm it verges on the geriatric.

– Rosemary Mahoney

My other life keeps me calm and grounded and normal.

– Shawn Johnson

What’s interesting is that you can have a set that’s very calm, very smooth, very cooperative… and end up with a terrible movie. And you can have a set that’s really horrible as far as relationships and volatility, and come up with a great movie. Sometimes that energy gets infused into what ends up on film – it’s interesting in that way.

– Tobin Bell

– Tom Sizemore

If I want to calm down, I’ll buy some fabric, get a pattern, shut myself in a room and stay there for days, really happy. And at the end of it, you get a bedspread or some curtains or something to wear – it’s lovely.

– Twiggy

I’m a pretty calm person. That came from living in Italy for a long time. Nothing works, nothing is on time. You have to learn to deal with it.

– Tom Ford

Vows made in storms are forgotten in calm.

– Thomas Fuller

The recognition that things that are not sustainable will eventually come to an end does not give us much of a guide to whether the transition will be calm or exciting.

– Timothy Geithner

Museums are like the quiet car of the world. It’s a place you can come to escape, where there’s authenticity, there’s uniqueness, there’s calm, there’s physicality.
