Best Quotes about Progress

1.
Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.
Nash, Ogden

2.
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

3.
Progress everywhere today does seem to come so very heavily disguised as Chaos.
Grenfell, Joyce

4.
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

5.
Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.
Coolidge, Calvin

6.
New roads; new ruts.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

7.
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.

8.
Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
Plato

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

11.
This world owes all its forward impulses to people ill at ease.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel

12.
Progress is mediation comes swiftly for those who try their hardest.
Pantanjali

13.
A lot of what appears to be progress is just so much technological rococo.
Grey, Bill

14.
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

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Every convenience brings its own inconveniences along with it.
Proverb

18.
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.

19.
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

20.
When a blind man carries a lame man both go forward.
Proverb, Swedish

21.
The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

22.
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

23.
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

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

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

30.
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

31.
Progress is the stride of God.
Hugo, Victor

32.
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

33.
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

34.
If the human race wants to go to hell in a basket, technology can help it get there by jet.
Allen, Charles M.

35.
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
Bachelard, Gaston

36.
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

37.
What we call'Progress'is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance.
Havelock Ellis

38.
It takes five years to design a new car in this country. Heck, we won World War II in four years.
Perot, H. Ross

39.
I was taught that the way of progress I neither swift nor easy.
Curie, Madame Marie

40.
Today's progress was yesterday's plan.

41.
All progress is experimental.
Chapman, John Jay

42.
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

43.
You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.
Chisholm, Shirley Anita

44.
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.

45.
The walking of Man is falling forwards.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Most people are in favor of progress, it's the changes they don't like.

49.
Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?
Lec, Stanislaw J.

50.
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.
