Runs Quotes

On what keeps moving: a river, a heritage, a road to success.

These Runs quotes use the word in strikingly different ways, from a cricketer explaining a cover-drive to score runs, to the idea that the road to success runs uphill. That range of movement and effort connects naturally to Movement quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does 'runs' mean the same thing in every quote here?
No, it shifts across contexts, from a cricketer scoring runs with a cover-drive to success described as running uphill and heritage running deep through identity. The page uses the word as movement in several different senses.
Is there a sports-specific quote in this collection?
Yes, one comes directly from a cricketer explaining how a cover-drive is played specifically to score runs, giving the page a literal athletic entry alongside its more metaphorical lines.
Why would someone search for Runs quotes?
The word's flexibility across sports, geography, and heritage makes it a useful search for readers drawn to movement-based metaphors rather than a single narrow theme. That range connects naturally to Movement quotes.
Is there a quote about heritage or family identity here?
Yes, one simply states that a western heritage 'runs deep,' using the word to describe something generational rather than physical motion. It links closely with the identity-focused reflections on Identity quotes.
What's a good companion page for the effort-and-success angle in these quotes?
Action quotes pairs well here, since the line about success running uphill is really about sustained effort rather than literal running. Together they cover both the metaphor and the drive behind it.

For the drive behind that motion, Action quotes makes a fitting companion, while Identity quotes connects to the line about heritage running deep. Each quote treats 'runs' as continuous motion, physical or generational.
