"最初の動者がいなければならない。"

Thomas Aquinas

Simplified Meaning:

Everything that starts needs someone or something to make it happen. Imagine a line of dominoes. They won't fall unless someone pushes the first one. This first push is like the "first mover" in the quote. In life, when we want to see changes or achieve something, we often need to be the first to take action, just like that first person who pushes the domino. Whether starting a new habit, starting a project, or even making the first move to break the ice in a conversation, someone needs to initiate. So, if you want to see progress or change, sometimes you have to be the one to start it.
