Nobody can think and hit someone at the same time.

What you wish can only be accomplished by changing one person at a time.

To paraphrase several sages: Nobody can think and hit someone at the same time.

From triumph to failure is only one step.

Life is like walking you take one step at a time.

None could tread one step successfully in the Path without the help of the Lord. One could never succeed by one's personal effort and perseverance.

It is only the first step that is difficult.

You can’t go from people to nonpeople.

Precisely because everyone takes a shortcut, nothing works and, for this reason, the only way to get anything done is to take another shortcut.”

It is not possible, I frequently think, to walk down the street as fast as you can and kick yourself at the same time.

Always I will take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I will persist until I succeed.

nadie puede transferir a otro más poder del que encerrare en sí, y nadie sobre sí goza de poder absoluto y arbitrario, ni sobre los demás tampoco, que le permitiere destruir su vida o arrebatar la vida o propiedad ajena.

You take the first step, and to save yourself from the consequences, you take the next one. In times like ours, there are only two directions: up or plummet.

The only preventative measure one can take is to live irregularly.
