abstract = "We show that known Newton-type laws for Optimal Mass Transport, Schr{\"o}dinger Bridges and the classic Madelung fluid can be derived from variational principles on Wasserstein space. The second order differential equations are accordingly obtained by annihilating the first variation of a suitable action.",
