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



Best Quotes about Progress

1.
Every convenience brings its own inconveniences along with it.
Proverb

2.
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order.
Whitehead, Alfred North

3.
The United States has to move very fast to even stand still.
Kennedy, John F.

4.
The greatest enemy of progress is not stagnation, but false progress.
Harris, Sidney J.

5.
The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

6.
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
Bachelard, Gaston

7.
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

8.
A lot of what appears to be progress is just so much technological rococo.
Grey, Bill

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Nothing recedes like progress.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

12.
Today's progress was yesterday's plan.

13.
When a blind man carries a lame man both go forward.
Proverb, Swedish

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

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself.
Addams, Jane

18.
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.

19.
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

20.
Progress is the stride of God.
Hugo, Victor

21.
Once an organization loses its spirit of pioneering and rests on its early work, its progress stops.
Watson, Thomas J.

22.
Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?
Lec, Stanislaw J.

23.
All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

24.
All progress is experimental.
Chapman, John Jay

25.
A radical is one of whom people say He goes too far. A conservative, on the other hand, is one who doesn't go far enough. Then there is the reactionary, one who doesn't go at all. All these terms are more or less objectionable, wherefore we have
Wilson, Woodrow T.

26.
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

27.
When any real progress is made, we unlearn and learn anew what we thought we knew before.
Thoreau, Henry David

28.
Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.
Orwell, George

29.
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

30.
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

31.
The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.
Roth, Philip

32.
Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
Plato

33.
Progress is the life-style of man. The general life of the human race is called Progress, and so is its collective march. Progress advances, it makes the great human and earthly journey towards what is heavenly and divine; it has its pauses, when it rallies the stragglers, its stopping places when it meditates, contemplating some new and splendid promised land that has suddenly appeared on its horizon. It has its nights of slumber; and it is one of the poignant anxieties of the thinker to see the human spirit lost in shadow, and to grope in the darkness without being able to awake sleeping progress.
Hugo, Victor

34.
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

35.
You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.
Chisholm, Shirley Anita

36.
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.

37.
I'm a slow walker, but I never walk back.
Lincoln, Abraham

38.
Perhaps the best definition of progress would be the continuing efforts of men and women to narrow the gap between the convenience of the powers that be and the unwritten charter.
Gordimer, Nadine

39.
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

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

41.
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.

42.
Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
Proverb, Chinese

43.
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

44.
Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.
Coolidge, Calvin

45.
Most people are in favor of progress, it's the changes they don't like.

46.
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

47.
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

48.
It takes five years to design a new car in this country. Heck, we won World War II in four years.
Perot, H. Ross

49.
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

50.
All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions.
Shaw, George Bernard
