Progress

The world is moving so fast now-a-days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
- Hubbard, Elbert
Progress Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Progress

1.
Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?
Lec, Stanislaw J.

2.
The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.
Roth, Philip

3.
All progress is experimental.
Chapman, John Jay

4.
Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
Proverb, Chinese

5.
Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself.
Addams, Jane

6.
It is curious to note the old sea-margins of human thought! Each subsiding century reveals some new mystery; we build where monsters used to hide themselves.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

7.
What we call'Progress'is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance.
Havelock Ellis

8.
Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.
Mumford, Lewis

9.
All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions.
Shaw, George Bernard

10.
Progress is mediation comes swiftly for those who try their hardest.
Pantanjali

11.
He that is good, will infallibly become better, and he that is bad, will as certainly become worse; for vice, virtue and time are three things that never stand still.
Colton, Charles Caleb

12.
The greatest enemy of progress is not stagnation, but false progress.
Harris, Sidney J.

13.
Nothing recedes like progress.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

14.
Progress everywhere today does seem to come so very heavily disguised as Chaos.
Grenfell, Joyce

15.
Time advances: facts accumulate; doubts arise. Faint glimpses of truth begin to appear, and shine more and more unto the perfect day. The highest intellects, like the tops of mountains, are the first to catch and to reflect the dawn. They are bright, while the level below is still in darkness. But soon the light, which at first illuminated only the loftiest eminences, descends on the plain, and penetrates to the deepest valley. First come hints, then fragments of systems, then defective systems, then complete and harmonious systems. The sound opinion, held for a time by one bold speculator, becomes the opinion of a small minority, of a strong minority, of a majority of mankind. Thus, the great progress goes on.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

16.
Progress is a tide. If we stand still we will surely be drowned. To stay on the crest, we have to keep moving.
Mayfield, Harold

17.
Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Edison, Thomas A.

18.
Most people are in favor of progress, it's the changes they don't like.

19.
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual.
Santayana, George

20.
If the human race wants to go to hell in a basket, technology can help it get there by jet.
Allen, Charles M.

21.
I'm a slow walker, but I never walk back.
Lincoln, Abraham

22.
All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

23.
Today's progress was yesterday's plan.

24.
Progress, under whose feet the grass mourns and the forest turns into paper from which newspaper plants grow, has subordinated the purpose of life to the means of subsistence and turned us into the nuts and bolts for our tools.
Kraus, Karl

25.
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order.
Whitehead, Alfred North

26.
When any real progress is made, we unlearn and learn anew what we thought we knew before.
Thoreau, Henry David

27.
Progress might have been all right once, but it has gone on too long.
Ogden Nash

28.
The simplest school boy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life.
Renan, Ernest

29.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw

30.
The world is moving so fast now-a-days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
Hubbard, Elbert

31.
You can't say that civilization don't advance... for in every war they kill you a new way.
Rogers, Will

32.
I was taught that the way of progress I neither swift nor easy.
Curie, Madame Marie

33.
The walking of Man is falling forwards.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

34.
A process which led from the amoebae to man appeared to the philosophers to be obviously a progress -- though whether the amoebae would agree with this opinion is not known.
Russell, Bertrand

35.
The pace of progress will accelerate so that even engineers and technical managers will find it necessary to recycle back through school after no more than ten years. In particular fast-moving technologies skills will become obsolete every five years or so.
Davies, Owen

36.
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
Bachelard, Gaston

37.
New roads; new ruts.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

38.
Human development is a form of chronological unfairness, since late-comers are able to profit by the labors of their predecessors without paying the same price.
Herzen, Alexander

39.
To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture.
Picasso, Pablo

40.
Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge.
Miller, Henry

41.
A lot of what appears to be progress is just so much technological rococo.
Grey, Bill

42.
The progress of the world is the history of men who would not permit defeat to speak the final word.
Sizoo, Joseph R.

43.
Progress celebrates victories over nature. Progress makes purses out of human skin. When people were traveling in mail coaches, the world got ahead better than it does now that salesmen fly through the air. What good is speed if the brain has oozed out on the way? How will the heirs of this age be taught the most basic motions that are necessary to activate the most complicated machines? Nature can rely on progress; it will avenge it for the outrage it has perpetrated on it.
Kraus, Karl

44.
Once an organization loses its spirit of pioneering and rests on its early work, its progress stops.
Watson, Thomas J.

45.
The true law of the race is progress and development. Whenever civilization pauses in the march of conquest, it is overthrown by the barbarian.
Simms, William Gilmore

46.
I make progress by having people around me who are smarter than I am and listening to them. And I assume that everyone is smarter about something than I am.
Kaiser, Henry J.

47.
Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things.
Russell Baker

48.
The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.
Barbara Hall

49.
Every convenience brings its own inconveniences along with it.
Proverb

50.
Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.
Nash, Ogden
