Moss grows on sedentary things, something that is moving is more likely to keep moving.
In other words, don't be lazy, get up and do something.

"A rolling stone gathers no moss" is an old English proverb. It means that if you keep moving and don't settle down you won't gain anything in life. It dates from the time when a settled life was seen as the ultimate aim - wife, family, plot of land etc. Hope this helps.

This is an age old proverb and has a life changing meaning....
It conveys that people who keep thinking and look ahead in life, always succeed better! People who 'move on' in life and leave alone their past, enjoy the fruits of life better!
If you have read the book "Who moved my Cheese" by Spencer Johnson, which is a nice book to read, it'll give you greater depth and insight!

"A person who never stays long in one place will never be encumbered by responsibilities. Conversely, the person who is on the move all the time will never accomplish much either."

You never stay in one place long. You always keep moving on down the road. You are not stagnent.
