Progress

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
Progress Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Progress

1.
The walking of Man is falling forwards.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

2.
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.

3.
Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?
Lec, Stanislaw J.

4.
Nothing recedes like progress.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

5.
Once an organization loses its spirit of pioneering and rests on its early work, its progress stops.
Watson, Thomas J.

6.
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

7.
This world owes all its forward impulses to people ill at ease.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel

8.
Our civilization is characterized by the word progress. Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

9.
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

10.
When any real progress is made, we unlearn and learn anew what we thought we knew before.
Thoreau, Henry David

11.
The greatest enemy of progress is not stagnation, but false progress.
Harris, Sidney J.

12.
My own experience and development deepen everyday my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy.
Eliot, George

13.
Today's progress was yesterday's plan.

14.
Enthusiastic partisans of the idea of progress are in danger of failing to recognize... the immense riches accumulated by the human race. By underrating the achievements of the past, they devalue all those which still remain to be accomplished.
Levi-Strauss, Claude

15.
It takes five years to design a new car in this country. Heck, we won World War II in four years.
Perot, H. Ross

16.
You can't say that civilization don't advance... for in every war they kill you a new way.
Rogers, Will

17.
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order.
Whitehead, Alfred North

18.
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

19.
Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
Proverb, Chinese

20.
Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.
Nash, Ogden

21.
What we call'Progress'is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance.
Havelock Ellis

22.
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

23.
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

24.
The reason for the slow progress of the world seems to lie in a single fact. Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.
Chapman, John Jay

25.
Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.
Orwell, George

26.
Progress is the product of human agency. Things get better because we make them better. Things go wrong when we get too comfortable, when we fail to take risks or seize opportunities.
Susan Rice

27.
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

28.
The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.
Roth, Philip

29.
If the human race wants to go to hell in a basket, technology can help it get there by jet.
Allen, Charles M.

30.
With every passing hour, our solar system comes forty-three thousand miles closer to globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules, and still there are some misfits who continue to insist that there is no such thing as progress.
Ferm, Ransom K.

31.
You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.
Chisholm, Shirley Anita

32.
Progress is mediation comes swiftly for those who try their hardest.
Pantanjali

33.
Progress might have been all right once, but it has gone on too long.
Ogden Nash

34.
Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.
Coolidge, Calvin

35.
All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions.
Shaw, George Bernard

36.
Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself.
Addams, Jane

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

38.
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.
Sir Winston Churchill

39.
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

40.
The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

41.
All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

42.
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

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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

47.
The United States has to move very fast to even stand still.
Kennedy, John F.

48.
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
Bachelard, Gaston

49.
Progress everywhere today does seem to come so very heavily disguised as Chaos.
Grenfell, Joyce

50.
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
