Best Quotes about Progress

1.
All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions.
Shaw, George Bernard

2.
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

3.
Nothing recedes like progress.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

4.
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order.
Whitehead, Alfred North

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Progress everywhere today does seem to come so very heavily disguised as Chaos.
Grenfell, Joyce

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Why aren't we making any progress towards a crime-free society? We're not making progress because we are too damn busy making excuses.

11.
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.

12.
All progress is experimental.
Chapman, John Jay

13.
The United States has to move very fast to even stand still.
Kennedy, John F.

14.
Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?
Lec, Stanislaw J.

15.
All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

16.
Progress is the stride of God.
Hugo, Victor

17.
The walking of Man is falling forwards.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

18.
When a blind man carries a lame man both go forward.
Proverb, Swedish

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
Plato

22.
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

23.
You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.
Chisholm, Shirley Anita

24.
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

25.
Once an organization loses its spirit of pioneering and rests on its early work, its progress stops.
Watson, Thomas J.

26.
Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.
Orwell, George

27.
The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

28.
The greatest enemy of progress is not stagnation, but false progress.
Harris, Sidney J.

29.
The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.
Roth, Philip

30.
This world owes all its forward impulses to people ill at ease.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel

31.
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

32.
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.

33.
When any real progress is made, we unlearn and learn anew what we thought we knew before.
Thoreau, Henry David

34.
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

35.
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.

36.
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

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

38.
Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.
Coolidge, Calvin

39.
The simplest school boy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life.
Renan, Ernest

40.
What we call'Progress'is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance.
Havelock Ellis

41.
You can't say that civilization don't advance... for in every war they kill you a new way.
Rogers, Will

42.
Progress is mediation comes swiftly for those who try their hardest.
Pantanjali

43.
Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
Proverb, Chinese

44.
Most people are in favor of progress, it's the changes they don't like.

45.
Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge.
Miller, Henry

46.
Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself.
Addams, Jane

47.
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.

48.
The progress of the world is the history of men who would not permit defeat to speak the final word.
Sizoo, Joseph R.

49.
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
Bachelard, Gaston

50.
A lot of what appears to be progress is just so much technological rococo.
Grey, Bill
