A rolling stone can gather no moss.

Summary

This quote is often used to convey the idea that constant movement or change can prevent negative or stagnant aspects from accumulating in one's life. Just as moss grows on stationary objects, challenges or problems can accumulate when one remains in one place for too long. Therefore, the quote implies that remaining active and open to new experiences can help avoid unnecessary obstacles or difficulties. It encourages a mindset of adaptability and embracing change rather than being too comfortable or settled in one's ways.
