Progress is a fundamental part of life. It is the measure of moving forward and making positive change. It is a concept that can be interpreted in many different ways and can be seen in every aspect of life. From personal growth to technological advancement, progress is the driving force of development. Quotes about progress can provide motivation and inspiration to keep going despite the challenges. They can help us stay focused on our goals, and they can remind us that we can always strive to be better.

Here are some of the most inspiring and thought-provoking quotes about progress:

1. “Progress is not achieved by luck or accident, but by working on yourself daily.” – Epictetus
2. “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” – Alan Watts
3. “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” – George Bernard Shaw
4. “Progress always involves risks. You can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first.” – Frederick Wilcox
5. “Progress is not created by contented people.” – Frank Tyger
6. “Progress is not made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.” – Robert Heinlein
7. “Progress is made by trial and error, but it is by the errors that we learn.” – William J. Clinton

9. “Progress is made by those who dare to believe that something better is possible.” – Barack Obama
10. “Progress is created by those who dare to believe in their dreams and who are willing to work hard to make them a reality.” – Oprah Winfrey

These quotes about progress remind us that positive change is always possible. They encourage us to stay focused and strive for progress every day. These quotes also remind us that progress is not achieved by luck or accident, but by working on ourselves and making consistent progress.

Progress is essential to our growth and development as individuals, as well as the development of society as a whole. It is often difficult to keep our motivation up, especially when faced with challenges and obstacles. Quotes about progress can help to remind us of the importance of staying focused and working hard to achieve our goals, no matter how hard they may seem. This list of quotes will provide you with the inspiration and motivation you need to keep pushing forward and making progress.

A critical component of progress is engaging with people you don’t agree with – everything else is the status quo.

Anthony Albanese

A great gulf, however, has been opened between man’s material advance and his social and moral progress, a gulf in which he may one day be lost if it is not closed or narrowed.

Lester B. Pearson

A lot of people change for good. Some people just fall off. Just trying to progress in anything, no matter what you’re doing, I feel like any progression you make… some people aren’t gonna be around you that were around you.

Dave East

A lot of the progress in machine learning – and this is an unpopular opinion in academia – is driven by an increase in both computing power and data. An analogy is to building a space rocket: You need a huge rocket engine, and you need a lot of fuel.

Andrew Ng

A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life.

John Stuart Mill

A person who makes few mistakes makes little progress.

Bryant H. McGill

A process which led from the amoeba to man appeared to the philosophers to be obviously a progress though whether the amoeba would agree with this opinion is not known.

Bertrand Russell

A static hero is a public liability. Progress grows out of motion.

Richard E. Byrd

Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change – this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.

Bruce Barton

Adversity is simply part of earth life. From it we can grow and progress if we choose to. Yes, some trials come because of our own disobedience, but many trials are simply part of life.

John Bytheway

Advertising as the printed form of selling would seem… ultimately to be justified in so far as it serves as a means of increasing legitimate human wants, as an agency of fair and economic competition in the distribution of goods, and as a stimulant to social progress.

Daniel Starch

Aging in Hollywood sucks. There’s always so much pressure to look way younger than you are, and everyone’s watching! I’d like to embrace getting older, because it’s kind of inevitable. The different, wiser me, to be at peace with how I look and I’m supposed to look – it’s a work in progress.

Lisa Vidal

All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.

Tennessee Williams

All over the world the wildlife that I write about is in grave danger. It is being exterminated by what we call the progress of civilization.

Gerald Durrell

All peoples have contributed to the overall progress and enhancement of human life.

Hamza Yusuf

All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.

Adlai Stevenson I

All progress is based upon a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income.

Samuel Butler

All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

All things can be forgiven if we can progress.

Cat Stevens

Although God loves us unconditionally, He does get angry at sin, wickedness and evil. But He is not an angry God. God hates sin, but He loves sinners! He will never approve of sin in your life, but He always loves you and wants to work with you to make progress in living a holy life in Christ.

Joyce Meyer

America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.

Barack Obama

America has believed that in differentiation, not in uniformity, lies the path of progress. It acted on this belief; it has advanced human happiness, and it has prospered.

Louis D. Brandeis

Americans are future-minded to the point of obsession. We are impatient at living in the present. Tomorrow is bound to be better… next year, next century, always what might be rather than what is. This trait in us makes for ‘progress;’ it also makes for a continuing dissatisfaction.

Gore Vidal

America’s greatest strength has always been its hopeful vision of human progress.

John McCain

An almost indispensable skill for any creative person is the ability to pose the right questions. Creative people identify promising, exciting, and, most important, accessible routes to progress – and eventually formulate the questions correctly.

Lisa Randall

An organized effort is making to deceive the people. There are two great enemies of thought and progress, the aristocracy of royalty and the aristocracy of gold.

Mary Elizabeth Lease

And humility in politics means accepting that one party doesn’t have all the answers; recognising that working in partnership is progress not treachery.

Vince Cable

And I’ve always said, ‘If two people think the same thing about everything, one of them isn’t necessary.’ We need to be able to understand that if we’re going to make real progress.

Ben Carson

And so our goal on health care is, if we can get, instead of health care costs going up 6 percent a year, it’s going up at the level of inflation, maybe just slightly above inflation, we’ve made huge progress. And by the way, that is the single most important thing we could do in terms of reducing our deficit. That’s why we did it.

Barack Obama

Another symptom of progress toward the Singularity: ideas themselves should spread ever faster, and even the most radical will quickly become commonplace.

Vernor Vinge

Any acceleration constitutes progress, Miss Glory. Nature had no understanding of the modern rate of work. From a technical standpoint the whole of childhood is pure nonsense. Simply wasted time. An untenable waste of time.

Karel Capek

Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included.

Karl Marx

Architecture will always express the technical and social progress of the country in which it is carried out. If we wish to give it the human content that it lacks, we must participate in the political struggle.

Oscar Niemeyer

Are machines getting more and more powerful? Absolutely. It’s been going on since 1940. We are making progress, and for many people, it will be a lifesaver.

Moshe Vardi

As an actor, you may do things that aren’t politically correct. Unless you’re an actor who only does things for political reasons. I believe if we don’t do the good, bad, and the ugly, we’re not going to progress.

Rosie Perez

As I went through ‘This Progress,’ one of two performance pieces by Tino Sehgal that transform Frank Lloyd Wright’s emptied-out spiral into a dreamy Socratic-purgatorial journey, the museum literally fell away. I was suspended in some weird nonspace.

Jerry Saltz

As I’ve learned in my time in the state legislature, important legislation is always a work in progress.

Marco Rubio

As more women ‘lean in’ and we collectively continue to fight sexism, there’s another barrier to progress that hasn’t been addressed: Many men who would like to see more women leaders are afraid to speak up about it.

Adam Grant

As we consider the fast pace of scientific and technological progress in our modern world, we must not lose our moral compass and give way to ‘free market eugenics’.

Sam Brownback

As we continue to make great progress in the war on terror, now more than ever, it is important that members of the international community stand-by and bolster the efforts of the emerging diplomatic leaders in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Jim Inhofe

Be ever watchful for the opportunity to shelter little children with the umbrella of your charity; be generous to their schools, their hospitals, and their places of worship. For, as they must bear the burdens of our mistakes, so are they in their innocence the repositories of our hopes for the upward progress of humanity.

Conrad Hilton

Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.

James Bryant Conant

Believe in life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader, and fuller life.

W. E. B. Du Bois

Believe me, my journey has not been a simple journey of progress. There have been many ups and downs, and it is the choices that I made at each of those times that have helped shape what I have achieved.

Satya Nadella

Believing in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made.

Franz Kafka

Black people have been qualified to be president for hundreds of years. George Washington Carver could have been president. I could go on with a list of black men that were qualified to be the president of the United States. So the Obama victory is progress for white people.

Chris Rock

But I think we need to remember that democracy everywhere is by its nature incomplete, a work in progress.

Daisaku Ikeda

But if we leave them alone, just satisfying ourselves with social work, economic work and the building up of a national army, it can make progress, hopefully within a short time.

Bulent Ecevit

But with the slow menace of a glacier, depression came on. No one had any measure of its progress; no one had any plan for stopping it. Everyone tried to get out of its way.

Frances Perkins

By 1939, the Depression was back. Unemployment was huge. Roosevelt didn’t have any quick fix. Remember, the New Deal, Works Progress Administration, and Civilian Conservation Corps – all that happened years before. Roosevelt was riding a storm.

Gore Vidal

By and large, women in New Zealand are fortunate compared with some other countries, including many in our own region. But there is still progress to be made.

Jenny Shipley

Capitalism attacks and destroys all the finer sentiments of the human heart; it ruthlessly sweeps away old traditions and ideas opposed to its progress, and it exploits and corrupts those things once held sacred.

Daniel De Leon

Challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives. But not all challenges are created equal. Some challenges make us feel alive, engaged, connected, and fulfilled. Others simply overwhelm us. Knowing the difference as you set bigger and bolder challenges for yourself is critical to your sanity, success, and satisfaction.

Brendon Burchard

Change doesn’t always mean progress, but the status quo isn’t always the best result either. It is merely the most convenient.

Harsha Bhogle

Change is inevitable, change will always happen, but you have to apply direction to change, and that’s when it’s progress.

Doug Baldwin

Change is often the agent of progress in ways we can’t always readily see in the early days.

Lloyd Blankfein

Changes and progress very rarely are gifts from above. They come out of struggles from below.

Noam Chomsky

Changes call for innovation, and innovation leads to progress.

Chastity is the cement of civilization and progress. Without it there is no stability in society, and without it one cannot attain the Science of Life.

Mary Baker Eddy

Civilization is a progress from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity toward a definite, coherent heterogeneity.

Herbert Spencer

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

Ayn Rand

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.

Edward Everett Hale

Competition is not only the basis of protection to the consumer, but is the incentive to progress.

Herbert Hoover

Conceit is an insuperable obstacle to all progress.

Ellen Terry

Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.

Benjamin Disraeli

Creation takes things forward. Without anything new there is no progress. Creation equals new.

Rei Kawakubo

Critics help you progress: you end up working more; you want to show them they are wrong.

Marouane Fellaini

Dates that come around every year help us measure progress in our lives. One annual event, New Year’s Day, is a time of reflection and resolution.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.

Alfred Adler

Delay is the enemy of progress.

Eliot Spitzer

Despite all the progress climate scientists have made in understanding the risks we run by loading the atmosphere with CO2, the world is still as addicted to fossil fuels as ever.

Jeff Goodell

Despite our high rate of unemployment, 300,000 jobs go unfilled largely because many of the unemployed lack the skills needed today as a result of technological progress.

Kim Campbell

Digital fluency can accelerate progress.

Julie Sweet

Disapproval is a very important factor in all progress. There has really never been any progress without it.

James Henry Breasted

Discontent is the first necessity of progress.

Thomas A. Edison

Do a little bit more than average and from that point on our progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort put in.

Paul J. Meyer

Don’t look too far into the future, just look at tomorrow. One day at a time. Can you win tomorrow? Can you make progress? The answer is yes, you have a choice and tomorrow you’re going to win.

Joe Wicks

Doubt is important because it suggests progress. Total certainty can mean there’s no assessment of things. Doubt, if you don’t panic, can allow newness to come in and challenge something that’s an established mode.

Chris Ofili

Doubt, the essential preliminary of all improvement and discovery, must accompany the stages of man’s onward progress. The faculty of doubting and questioning, without which those of comparison and judgment would be useless, is itself a divine prerogative of the reason.

Albert Pike

Drones photograph, prospect and advertise real estate from golf courses to skyscrapers; they also monitor construction in progress.

Peter Diamandis

During the decades after Brown v. Board of Education there was terrific progress. Tens of thousands of public schools were integrated racially. During that time the gap between black and white achievement narrowed.

Jonathan Kozol

Each morning my characters greet me with misty faces willing, though chilled, to muster for another day’s progress through the dazzling quicksand the marsh of blank paper.

John Updike

Each successive period of progress is a period more humane and spiritual. The only logical conclusion is that all is Mind and its manifestation, from the rolling of worlds, in the most subtle ether, to a potato-patch.

Mary Baker Eddy

Each year on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth, America has the opportunity to reflect on our nation’s progress towards the realization of his dream.

Adam Schiff

Economic progress, in capitalist society, means turmoil.

Joseph A. Schumpeter

Education in India has made monumental progress since Independence but continues to face daunting challenges at multiple levels, particularly in terms of quality, infrastructure and dropout rates. We have islands of excellence floating in a sea of mediocrity.

Shashi Tharoor

Embrace a diversity of ideas. Embrace the fact that you can disagree with people and not be disagreeable. Embrace the fact that you can find common ground – if you disagree on nine out of 10 things, but can find common ground on that 10th, maybe you can make progress. If you can find common ground, you can accomplish great things.

David Boies

Energy is necessary for economic growth, for a better quality of life, and for human progress.

Mac Thornberry

Even as you make progress, you need the discipline to keep from backtracking and sabotaging the success as it’s happening.

Nipsey Hussle

Even IBM can’t stand in the way of progress… for more than a decade.

Craig Bruce

Ever since about 1998, when humankind began fast-forwarding through the gradually-unfolding history of progress, like someone impatiently zipping through a YouTube clip in search of the best bits, we’ve grown accustomed to machines veering from essential to obsolete in the blink of a trimester.

Charlie Brooker

Every company needs to have a skunkworks, to try things that have a high probability of failing. You try to minimize failure, but at the same time, if you’re not willing to try things that are inherently risky, you’re not going to make progress.

Nolan Bushnell

Every step of progress the world has made has been from scaffold to scaffold, and from stake to stake.

Wendell Phillips

Every time you tear a leaf off a calendar, you present a new place for new ideas and progress.

Charles Kettering

Everybody’s a work in progress. I’m a work in progress. I mean, I’ve never arrived… I’m still learning all the time.

Renee Fleming

Evolution, cell biology, biochemistry, and developmental biology have made extraordinary progress in the last hundred years – much of it since I was weaned on schoolboy biology in the 1930s. Most striking of all is the sudden eruption of molecular biology starting in the 1950s.

John Tyler Bonner

Expositions are the timekeepers of progress.

William McKinley

False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.

Charles Darwin

Far more has been accomplished for the welfare and progress of mankind by preventing bad actions than by doing good ones.

William Lyon Mackenzie King

Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Finds progress, man’s distinctive mark alone, Not God’s, and not the beast’s; God is, they are, Man partly is, and wholly hopes to be.

Robert Browning

For society to progress, we should not only move forward but also clean up after ourselves.

Boyan Slat

Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.

Baruch Spinoza

Freedom possesses many meanings. It speaks not merely in terms of political and religious liberty but also in terms of economic and social progress.

Robert Kennedy

From a child I was fond of reading, and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books. Pleased with the ‘Pilgrim’s Progress,’ my first collection was of John Bunyan’s works in separate little volumes.

Benjamin Franklin

Fundamental progress has to do with the reinterpretation of basic ideas.

Alfred North Whitehead

Fundamentally, the basis of all modern progress is the efficiency of labor. And the only sure road to restored prosperity is through the thrift and hard work of our people as a whole.

Charles M. Schwab

Future orientation is combined with a notion and expectation of progress, and nothing is impossible.

Alan Dundes

Global sustainability is now the only avenue to future inclusive progress that can deliver the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris climate agreement.

Johan Rockstrom

Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect.

Hunter S. Thompson

Government spending is being restrained, the economy is making progress and moving forward, and the pro-growth, tax cutting policies put in place have allowed businesses to grow, which has brought in additional tax revenue to help pay off the debt.

Bill Shuster

Great progress was made when arbitration treaties were concluded in which the contracting powers pledge in advance to submit all conflicts to an arbitration court, treaties which not only specify the composition of the court, but also its procedure.

Ludwig Quidde

Great wealth could make an enormous difference over the next decade if they sensibly support the scientific elite. Just the elite. Because the elite makes most of the progress. You should worry about people who produce really novel inventions, not pedantic hacks.

James D. Watson

Growth and progress depend on more economic freedom.

Maxime Bernier

Gun violence in Chicago is unacceptable. It threatens everything we have done together and all of the progress we have made in other areas.

Rahm Emanuel

Hatred is corrosive of a person’s wisdom and conscience; the mentality of enmity can poison a nation’s spirit, instigate brutal life and death struggles, destroy a society’s tolerance and humanity, and block a nation’s progress to freedom and democracy.

Liu Xiaobo

He who is firmly seated in authority soon learns to think security, and not progress, the highest lesson in statecraft.

James Russell Lowell

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.

Harold Wilson

Healthy discontent is the prelude to progress.

Mahatma Gandhi

Here is the difference, nationalism has a certain connotation in Europe, which is not necessarily positive, but I think in Asia, nationalism is seen very much as a sort of natural corollary to economic progress, almost like you’re independent, you progress, you are prosperous and nationalism comes with all of that.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar

Here is the root of all romanticism: that man, the individual, is an infinite reservoir of possibilities, and if you can so rearrange society by the destruction of oppressive order, then these possibilities will have a chance, and you will get Progress.

T. E. Hulme

History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times, but out of trial and confusion.

Hold fast to the Bible. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization and to this we must look as our guide in the future.

Ulysses S. Grant

Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.

Mahatma Gandhi

Horses and mules, and even sail cars, made more rapid progress than did the earliest locomotive.

John Moody

How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.

However, even during the preparations for action, we laid our plans in such a manner that should there be progress through diplomatic negotiation, we would be well prepared to cancel operations at the latest moment that communication technology would have permitted.

Hideki Tojo

Human beings, we have dark sides; we have dark issues in our lives. To progress anywhere in life, you have to face your demons.

John Noble

Human progress has always been driven by a sense of adventure and unconventional thinking.

Andre Geim

Human progress has never been shaped by commentators, complainers or cynics.

Tony Blair

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hypocrisy is a detriment to progress. There’s always a hidden agenda.

Larry Flynt

I also know that there have been many times in our history when the proximity of an election has induced exactly the kind of leadership and consensus-building that produce progress in our democracy.

Joe Lieberman

I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.

Frederick Douglass

I am deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism, having spent my life in that profession, regarding it as a noble profession and one of unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people.

Joseph Pulitzer

I am firmly convinced that, in future years, China and India will join hands in playing a more active role in maintaining peace and stability in the region and the world at large and make due contribution to the cause of human progress and development.

Li Peng

I am opposed to the laying down of rules or conditions to be observed in the construction of bridges lest the progress of improvement tomorrow might be embarrassed or shackled by recording or registering as law the prejudices or errors of today.

Isambard K. Brunel

I am very close to my brother Ramesh Babu. When my father was away for shootings, my brother would take care of me, and I am very close to him, and yes, Dad’s always special. He used to call me and enquire about my film’s progress. Whenever I deliver a hit, I can see a glow on my father’s face.

Mahesh Babu

I am working hard to keep making progress, to always improve.

Angel Di Maria

I believe economic growth should translate into the happiness and progress of all. Along with it, there should be development of art and culture, literature and education, science and technology. We have to see how to harness the many resources of India for achieving common good and for inclusive growth.

Pratibha Patil

I believe that the future of humanity is in the progress of reason through science. I believe that the pursuit of truth, through science, is the divine ideal which man should propose to himself.

Emile Zola

I came to L.A. for pilot season, and it was so brutal. So brutal. But still, I just want to be making forward progress. There’s lots of ideas about being a superstar. But my idea of being a superstar is just going forward and having new challenges and trying out new things.

Kelly McCreary

I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.

Dan Brown

I do think there are more and more entrepreneurs all the time that think big. Those are the people we should be finding and funding. Most of them will fail, but the ones who succeed will change the world, and that is progress.

Steve Jurvetson

I feel good because I believe I have made progress in rebuilding the people’s trust in their government.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

I feel I want to grow as an actress and be better. I want to progress as a singer and songwriter, and produce movies and everything. So there’ll be no time when I feel I’ve done it all.

Jennifer Lopez

I feel very strongly that SpaceX would not have been able to get started, nor would we have made the progress that we have, without the help of NASA.

Elon Musk

I find discussing mathematics with colleagues of different backgrounds one of the most productive ways of making progress.

Maryam Mirzakhani

I have always been convinced that the only way to get artificial intelligence to work is to do the computation in a way similar to the human brain. That is the goal I have been pursuing. We are making progress, though we still have lots to learn about how the brain actually works.

Geoffrey Hinton

I have always believed that 98% of a student’s progress is due to his own efforts, and 2% to his teacher.

John Philip Sousa

I have always believed that technology drives human civilization’s endeavor and progress.

Mukesh Ambani

I have made a lot of progress, above all in speed, reflexes, and experience.

Thibaut Courtois

I have seen periods of progress followed by reaction. I have seen the hopes and aspirations of Negroes rise during World War II, only to be smashed during the Eisenhower years. I am seeing the victories of the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations destroyed by Richard Nixon.

Bayard Rustin

I know what hierarchy and discipline mean. Without those, we will never have order and progress.

Jair Bolsonaro

I like progress but I hate change.

Jon Bon Jovi

I love and reverence the Word, the bearer of the spirit, the tool and gleaming ploughshare of progress.

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.

Henry J. Kaiser

I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.

B. R. Ambedkar

I never like to get political, but when you have the ability, through your media, to influence a large mass of people, I would want to be a part of the evolving cycle of progress vs. keeping things the way that they are.

Zoe Saldana

I promised to run the most open and transparent administration in Britain. That is why, with this brutally honest and unprecedented progress report, I am determined to level with Londoners.

Boris Johnson

I remain convinced that obstinate addiction to ordinary language in our private thoughts is one of the main obstacles to progress in philosophy.

Bertrand Russell

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

Bertrand Russell

I see that the path of progress has never taken a straight line, but has always been a zigzag course amid the conflicting forces of right and wrong, truth and error, justice and injustice, cruelty and mercy.

Kelly Miller

I suspect that even today, with all the progress we have made in liberal thought, the quality of true tolerance is as rare as the quality of mercy.

Frank Knox

I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn’t wait for them. I tell them to get on board.

Alex Ferguson

I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.

Mark Zuckerberg

I think and hope and believe that the Japanese government and the people of Japan will be happy and content with the progress of justice in this case and that it will not become a great issue in the future.

Howard Baker

I think economics is about passion. Economic progress, whether it is a two-person coffee shop or whether it is Netscape, is about people with brave ideas. Because it is brave to mortgage the house, when you’ve got two kids, to start a coffee shop.

Tom Peters

I think generationally, as human progress does its thing, we are constantly impressed by the upcoming generation.

Alyson Stoner

I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition. In fact, there are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name.

Larry Page

I think it’s the end of progress if you stand still and think of what you’ve done in the past. I keep on.

Leslie Caron

I think people are scared of progress and change.

Yung Lean

I think people underrate the importance of investing in your communication skills as a way to progress in your career.

Julie Sweet

I think that communism was a major force for violence for more than 100 years, because it was built into its ideology – that progress comes through class struggle, often violent.

Steven Pinker

I think that there’s a clinical mental illness called depression, but I believe that post-industrial America has been narcotized by progress. There’s a cultural malaise – mental illness or no – that everybody suffers from at some point in their life.

Frances McDormand

I think that when you die, you continue to progress. You continue to grow in kind of an elevated state, but I don’t think you sit there and wallow around and play the harp.

Mike Leach

I think the people who have really followed my career from the time I was seven years old can see my steady progress and see the type of person and athlete I am.

Marion Jones

I think the word ‘progressive’ is a very devious term. It was created as a substitute for ‘communist.’ What they propose is the reverse of progress.

Jon Voight

I think to progress in major tournaments and to be at your best, you need a big squad, and you need to rotate it.

Harry Kane

I thought it was hilarious when ‘Brace for Impact’ was released, and people said I had abandoned country, even though the song is dripping with pedal steel. If anything, that tells me I’m making progress.

Sturgill Simpson

I used to tell my graduate students at Stanford, ‘Don’t worry about what job you have to pick because your job picks you. Let your job pick you. Find something you are passionate about. Then when you are passionate, be persistent. Just keep doing it for a while because progress is always hard work. It never rests in ideas.’

Sebastian Thrun

I want to keep working hard and looking to progress.

Harry Kane

I was encouraged to hear that GM has made great progress on the hydrogen car.

Albert Wynn

I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.

Marie Curie

I would say national security is work in progress.

Jeb Bush

I wouldn’t call it radical; I would call it enthusiasm for progress.

John Templeton

Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.

Guy Debord

If anything’s progressive, then we make progress.

Michael Giles

If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.

Calvin Coolidge

If necessity is the mother of invention, urgency is the uncle of change. Without it, progress slows and then stops and then reverses.

Nell Scovell

If ‘pro’ is the opposite of ‘con’ what is the opposite of ‘progress’?

Paul Harvey

If ‘pro’ is the opposite of ‘con’ what is the opposite of ‘progress’?

Will Harvey

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

Frederick Douglass

If there’s anything I have learned since returning to Congress, it’s that talk is still cheap, progress is still slow, and our liberties continue to erode every day.

Matt Salmon

If traffic is congested and our roads are blocked, transportation is slowed and the wheels of economic progress are slowed.

Kay Ivey

If virtue promises happiness, prosperity and peace, then progress in virtue is progress in each of these for to whatever point the perfection of anything brings us, progress is always an approach toward it.

Epictetus

If we continue to cut something with each resolution, I would say we’re making steady progress and sending a strong conservative message.

Chuck Fleischmann

If we could do high-speed rail in California just half a notch above what they’ve done on the Shanghai line in China, and if we had a straight path from L.A. to San Francisco, as well as the milk run, at least that would be progress.

Elon Musk

If we really want to make progress and achieve greater fairness as a society, it is time for elemental change. And we should start by looking at the Constitution, with the goal of holding a new Constitutional Convention.

Larry J. Sabato

If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.

Paul J. Meyer

If you are satisfied, you will never see any more progress. One remains dissatisfied, but that doesn’t mean that things are not happening.

Arundhati Bhattacharya

If you’re going to worry about what people say, you’re never going to make any progress.

Joseph Murray

If you’re not learning, you don’t progress.

Declan Rice

If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.

Barack Obama

If you’ve got an idea, start today. There’s no better time than now to get going. That doesn’t mean quit your job and jump into your idea 100% from day one, but there’s always small progress that can be made to start the movement.

Kevin Systrom

I’m not anti-progress, obviously, but I just think progress needs to be a broader thing than just the technology we can create; it’s also how we handle it and our level of awareness.

Matt Haig

I’m not satisfied with the progress of the work, but I am happy that the talks are going on. It might have a negative effect if the United States joins.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

I’m sure when alternative comedy started, before which – Billy Connolly aside – standup was essentially a person being racist and sexist onstage, there was also the sense that this was the death of comedy. But it’s just progress.

Nish Kumar

In any case, whenever technical progress opened a new window into the surrounding world, I felt the urge to look through this window, hoping to see something unexpected.

Bruno Rossi

In fact, technology has been the story of human progress from as long back as we know. In 100 years people will look back on now and say, ‘That was the Internet Age.’ And computers will be seen as a mere ingredient to the Internet Age.

Reed Hastings

In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat, but in the evolution of real knowledge it marks the first step in progress toward a victory.

Alfred North Whitehead

In life, we all struggle and strive to make progress. When will you know you’ve reached success? A billion dollars is a good sign, but there’s a better one – humility.

Naveen Jain

In my case Pilgrim’s Progress consisted in my having to climb down a thousand ladders until I could reach out my hand to the little clod of earth that I am.

Carl Jung

In our personal ambitions we are individualists. But in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up or else all go down as one people.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

In our seeking for economic and political progress, we all go up – or else we all go down.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

In recent years, we have seen the United States back away from pressuring the Castro regime, under the misguided view that placating them with an open hand would yield progress. That naivete has invited only more cruelty and oppression in return.

Mitt Romney

In that wide struggle which we call Progress, evil is always the aggressor and the vanquished, and it is right that this should be so, for without its onslaughts and depredations humanity might fall to a fat slumber upon its cornsacks and die snoring.

James Stephens

In the course of the 1920s and 1930s, great progress was made in the study of the intermediary reactions by which sugar is anaerobically fermented to lactic acid or to ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Hans Adolf Krebs

In the final analysis there is no other solution to man’s progress but the day’s honest work, the day’s honest decision, the day’s generous utterances, and the day’s good deed.

Clare Boothe Luce

In the post-9/11 world you cannot give him the benefit of the doubt. As a result of our going into Iraq, not only is Saddam Hussein gone, but Qaddafi has given up his weapons of mass destruction and tremendous progress is being made in Iraq.

Peter T. King

In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.

Henry Van Dyke

In the usual progress of things, the necessities of a nation in every stage of its existence will be found at least equal to its resources.

Alexander Hamilton

Innovation and commerce are as powerful tools for creating social progress as they are for driving technological advancement.

Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw

Integrity is essential and irreplaceable. It is the most valuable asset for a person, a company, or a society seeking to build and progress.

Rex Tillerson

Interethnic and spiritual accord is our strategic resource, the basis for progress of our society and state.

Nursultan Nazarbayev

Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork?

Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.

Theodore Roosevelt

It cannot be right in a world of increasing human progress – whether in medicine, space exploration or renewable energy – that so many people are denied the most basic human rights.

Paul Polman

It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions.

Jim Rohn

IT for a long time has been about how do you make old processes more efficient. But with all of the progress in digital technology, there is a kind of digital transformation that is occurring. And you see it with the explosion in the number of devices; you see it in the explosion in the number of applications.

Michael Dell

It is a matter of common knowledge among mystics that the evolutionary career of mankind is indissolubly bound up with the divine hierarchies, who rule the planets and the signs of the Zodiac, and that the passage of the Sun and the planets through the twelve signs of the Zodiac, marks man’s progress in time and in space.

Max Heindel

It is a most certain truth, that the richer we see ourselves to be, confessing at the same time our poverty, the greater will be our progress, and the more real our humility.

Saint Teresa of Avila

It is absolutely no accident that the peace and reconciliation, and indeed the economic progress, that eluded us generation after generation for hundreds of years, has at last come to pass in an Ireland where the talents of women are now flooding every aspect of life as never before.

Mary McAleese

It is important that legislation keeps pace with scientific progress.

Robert Winston

It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.

Vladimir Lenin

It is not strange… to mistake change for progress.

Millard Fillmore

It is not yet too late for the Indian people to decide on rapid, ordered progress. I can assure them that the British people are as determined upon self-government for India as they are themselves.

Stafford Cripps

It is true that I am not one of those who laugh at utopias. The utopia of today can become the reality of tomorrow. Utopias are conceived by optimistic logic which regards constant social and political progress as the ultimate goal of human endeavor; pessimism would plunge a hopeless mankind into a fresh cataclysm.

Charles Albert Gobat

It may be that there is no such thing as an equable motion, whereby time may be accurately measured. All motions may be accelerated or retarded, but the true, or equable, progress of absolute time is liable to no change.

Isaac Newton

It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one’s equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress.

Paul Dirac

It seems to me that women have made an awful lot of progress, but they probably remain underrepresented at the highest levels of most organizations, for a variety of reasons. And it’s probably going to take a long time to change that.

Janet Yellen

It was Einstein’s dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein’s day hadn’t made enough progress in understanding the forces of nature for that to be a realistic goal.

Stephen Hawking

It would do the world good if every man would compel himself occasionally to be absolutely alone. Most of the world s progress has come out of such loneliness.

Bruce Barton

It would not be foolish to contemplate the possibility of a far greater progress still.

John Maynard Keynes

Iteration, like friction, is likely to generate heat instead of progress.

George Eliot

It’s a big theme in my life, learning about myself and being a better person. I’m a work in progress; I have revelations every day.

Rick Rubin

It’s annoying to be on the bench – it’s truly annoying – but it’s a test you have to overcome, and that’s how you progress. It’s difficult because all you want is to be able to help the team, and when you’re on the bench, you can’t.

Anthony Martial

It’s crazy how fast time flies and how things progress.

Nathan Chen

It’s no good kicking progress In the teeth – there’s nothing wrong with a tractor.

Murray Head

It’s only when we stop looking exclusively to the podium for our heroes and start looking all around us that we’ll make the greatest progress toward a better tomorrow.

Paige Spiranac

It’s the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you’re mad, then dangerous, then there’s a pause and then you can’t find anyone who disagrees with you.

Tony Benn

It’s time to stop obsessing about overhead and start focusing on progress. Change charity, and charity can change the world.

Dan Pallotta

It’s true that globalization, with all its fantastic improvements in the world and the technological progress linked to it, has increased inequality at country level, especially inside countries. And there are people that were left behind – people, sectors, regions – that has created a sense of frustration in the rust belts of the world.

Antonio Guterres

I’ve always had an enormous sense of independence. But I know that sometimes I can be too independent. It is important to be able to share your life – so that is a work in progress for me.

Emilia Foxn

I’ve been studying the Bible for a long time. I remember that after the first five years or so of diligently studying the Word, I didn’t feel like I had made any progress. There were a lot of things in my life that were out of order, and I didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere.

Joyce Meyer

I’ve learned that positive thinking and encouragement are essential for leadership and progress.

Richard M. DeVos

Japan will help vulnerable developing nations make progress on emissions. In fact, we pledged assistance of about $16 billion over three years from 2013 and met this goal in about a year and a half.

Shinzo Abe

Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.

Kofi Annan

Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Let me tell you, never before in the history of this planet has anybody made the progress that African-Americans have made in a 30-year period, in spite of many black folks and white folks lying to one another.

Dick Gregory

Let no one refer to the sword of Napoleon I as the instrument of progress and civilization!

Elie Ducommun

Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing culture in our land.

Mao Zedong

Liberalism regards life as an adventure in which we must take risks in new situation, in which there is no guarantee that the new will always be the good or the true, in which progress is a precarious achievement rather than inevitability.

Morris Raphael Cohen

Liberty is the breath of progress.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.

Samuel Johnson

Life is a work in progress.

Jeff Rich

Life is short and progress is slow.

Gabriel Lippmann

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

Calvin Coolidge

Lucid dreaming has considerable potential for promoting personal growth and self-development, enhancing self-confidence, improving mental and physical health, facilitating creative problem solving and helping you to progress on the path to self-mastery.

Stephen LaBerge

Make measurable progress in reasonable time.

Jim Rohn

Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.

P. J. Harvey

Mankind is getting smarter every day. Actually, it only seems so. At least we are making progress. We’re progressing, to be sure, ever more deeply into the forest.

Franz Grillparzer

Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress but they regard the things government does for others as socialism.

Earl Warren

Marriage is a work in progress, but it’s beautiful.

Jurnee Smollett-Bell

Marxism is an interpretation of history which explains the progress of society as a product of the expansion of the forces of production of the material means of life, that is, the development of economy.

Earl Browder

Materialistic progress alone does not guarantee national security. What is essential is the character and integrity of the country’s citizens.

Subramanian Swamy

Maybe the preoccupation with technological progress has overshadowed our concern with human progress.

Wynton Marsalis

Medical science has proven time and again that when the resources are provided, great progress in the treatment, cure, and prevention of disease can occur.

Michael J. Fox

Mediocre theoretical physicists make no progress. They spend all their time understanding other people’s progress.

Jeff Bezos

Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.

Harry S Truman

Modern invention has banished the spinning wheel, and the same law of progress makes the woman of today a different woman from her grandmother.

Susan B. Anthony

More and more, as civilization develops, we find the primitive to be essential to us. We root into the primitive as a tree roots into the earth. If we cut off the roots, we lose the sap without which we can’t progress or even survive. I don’t believe our civilization can continue very long out of contact with the primitive.

Charles Lindbergh

Movement isn’t progress.

Thomas Leonard

Must simplicity and humanity go under in the interest of progress? What is the most important component of civilization – is it human or mechanical? Must thought processes become involved and insincere? Must the class-struggle warp those who are involved in it?

Peter Abrahams

My advice always is to start very simple and master your timing and master the most simple beats that you can, and you just keep elevating from that. Trying to go right into playing fast is not necessarily the best way to go about it, because if you don’t have your foundation locked in, it’s hard to progress.

Joey Jordison

My daddy expected that my brothers and I and our generation would make the world a better place. He had lived in an America of continual social progress.

Wynton Marsalis

My generation, we’re so smart and opinionated, and we know the world we want to live in; we know the future we want. We’re such a liberal, forward-thinking generation that’s been held back by an older generation that doesn’t understand it, doesn’t want the world to progress quickly because of old ideologies.

Yungblud

My progress was rendered delightful by the sylvan elegance of the groves, chearful meadows, and high distant forests, which in grand order presented themselves to view.

William Bartram

Natural life, lived naturally as it is lived in the countryside, has none of that progress which is the base of happiness. Men and women in rural communities can be compared to a spring that rises out of a rock and spreads in irregular ever-widening circles. But the general principle is static.

Patrick Kavanagh

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.

Charles Dickens

Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Neither an ox nor a donkey is able to stop the progress of socialism.

Erich Honecker

Never stop believing in yourself; play with your qualities. You always have to keep making steps. Progress is everything. The big players, every season, they become a new player: they learn, and they learn. That’s the key.

Divock Origi

No individual is alone responsible for a single stepping stone along the path of progress, and where the path is smooth progress is most rapid.

Ernest Lawrence

No matter how powerful our political and religious leaders think they are, they are as dust before the immense and implacable forces of history and progress. I just hope that they don’t make too much of a mess or take too many more people down with them.

Alan Moore

Nothing can have as its destination anything other than its origin. The contrary idea, the idea of progress, is poison.

Simone Weil

Nothing is more useless in developing a nation’s economy than a gun, and nothing blocks the road to social development more than the financial burden of war. War is the arch enemy of national progress and the modern scourge of civilized men.

Hussein of Jordan

Nothing recedes like progress.

e. e. cummings

Nothing so obstinately stands in the way of all sorts of progress as pride of opinion. While nothing is so foolish and baseless.

Josiah Gilbert Holland

Now, I have always believed that women are not victims; we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace – all we need is a fighting chance.

Hillary Clinton

Obama was elected in a flourish of promise that many in the African-American community believed would help not only to symbolize African-American progress since the Civil War and Civil Rights Acts but that his presidency would result in doors opening in the halls of power as had never been seen before by black America.

Douglas Wilder

Obedience to the law of chastity will increase our happiness in mortality and make possible our progress in eternity.

David A. Bednar

Obstacles may retard, but they cannot long prevent the progress of a movement sanctioned by its justice and sustained by a virtuous people.

Jefferson Davis

Of course everyone has those moments of frustration now and then, when you say, ‘I wish I could play well already – or just stop.’ But it’s too much trouble to stop just for a moment of frustration. It is when you keep going that you make the most progress.

Hilary Hahn

Of course, technology is not an exogenous force over which humans have no control. We are not constrained by a binary choice between acceptance and rejection. Rather, the decisions we make every day as citizens, consumers, and investors guide technological progress.

Klaus Schwab

On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we’re going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.

Barack Obama

On one hand, I think it’s very important to talk about race and talk about gender, because if it’s not talked about, then we won’t progress. What I have a problem with is when it becomes another form of tokenization, of shrinking me into a symbol instead of a multilayered, female Asian artist.

Mitski

On the other hand, the waging of peace as a science, as an art, is in its infancy. But we can trace its growth, its steady progress, and the time will come when there will be particular individuals designated to assume responsibility for and leadership of this movement.

Fredrik Bajer

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

Thomas J. Watson

One can not impede scientific progress.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

One day’s delay is another day’s lack of progress.

Stuart Bowen

One of the lessons I have learned in the different stages of my career is that science is not done alone. It is through talking with others and sharing that progress is made.

Carol W. Greider

One of the things I miss most is that I can no longer read, due to age-related macular degeneration. I get regular injections for this, and thankfully these seem to have arrested its progress, but it’s still very difficult for me to read. That means it is hard for me to pick up my Bible and read it like I used to, and I miss that very much.

Billy Graham

One way to understand human progress is to look at how technology has made products and services – once reserved for the elite – progressively more accessible and affordable.

Dan Schulman

Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.

Nicholas M. Butler

Optimism is infectious, and opportunity irresistible. Progress follows progress. Someone, even government, just has to get it started.

Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.

Oscar Wilde

Our life is half natural and half technological. Half-and-half is good. You cannot deny that high-tech is progress. We need it for jobs. Yet if you make only high-tech, you make war. So we must have a strong human element to keep modesty and natural life.

Nam June Paik

Our progress against malaria is impressive. But vigilance remains a critical ingredient to protect the health of all people.

Tom Frieden

Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.

John F. Kennedy

Our society cannot progress while our constitution stands still.

Charles Edison

People are craving this great progress in electronics, going after computers, the Internet, etc. It’s a giant progress technologically. But they must have a balance of soul, a balance for human beauty. That means art has an important role.

Mstislav Rostropovich

People don’t want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology – all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why.

Peter Thiel

People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that’s how they’ll react. But if you say, ‘We want peace, we want stability,’ we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.

Nelson Mandela

People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don’t.

Alice Walker

People who work crossword puzzles know that if they stop making progress, they should put the puzzle down for a while.

Marilyn vos Savant

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.

Nadine Gordimer

Plots may be simple or complex, but suspense, and climactic progress from one incident to another, are essential. Every incident in a fictional work should have some bearing on the climax or denouement, and any denouement which is not the inevitable result of the preceding incidents is awkward and unliterary.

H. P. Lovecraft

Pluralism is no longer simply an asset or a prerequisite for progress and development; it is vital to our existence.

Aga Khan IV

Poetry and progress are like two ambitious men who hate one another with an instinctive hatred, and when they meet upon the same road, one of them has to give place.

Charles Baudelaire

Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.

Woodrow Wilson

Problems are the price of progress. Don’t bring me anything but trouble. Good news weakens me.

Charles Kettering

Problems are the price you pay for progress.

Branch Rickey

Productivity – the amount of output delivered per hour of work in the economy – is often viewed as the engine of progress in modern capitalist economies. Output is everything. Time is money. The quest for increased productivity occupies reams of academic literature and haunts the waking hours of C.E.O.s and finance ministers.

Tim Jackson

Progress comes at a price. You have to be willing to make tough calls and take the hits.

Aja Brown

Progress comes to those who train and train; reliance on secret techniques will get you nowhere.

Morihei Ueshiba

Progress depends on our brain. The most important part of our brain, that which is neocortical, must be used to help others and not just to make discoveries.

Rita Levi-Montalcini

Progress everywhere today does seem to come so very heavily disguised as Chaos.

Joyce Grenfell

Progress for black Americans depends on good schools because education is the last great equalizer.

Alphonso Jackson

Progress however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.

Samuel Smiles

Progress imposes not only new possibilities for the future but new restrictions.

Norbert Wiener

Progress in civilization has been accompanied by progress in cookery.

Fannie Farmer

Progress in human affairs is more often a pull than a push, surging forward of the exceptional man, and the lifting of his duller brethren slowly and painfully to his vantage ground.

W. E. B. Du Bois

Progress is a choice. Job creation is a choice. Whether we give our children a future of more or a future of less – this, too, is a choice.

Martin O’Malley

Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.

Robert Kennedy

Progress is always relative: to the oppressed, it can only be viewed as an all or nothing deal – if oppression continues, even in a modified form, then the system must still be attacked until that injustice is eradicated.

Tim Wise

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

George Bernard Shaw

Progress is man’s ability to complicate simplicity.

Thor Heyerdahl

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

George Orwell

Progress is only possible if the United States and its allies work together.

Brent Scowcroft

Progress is possible, but it is fragile – and across our country, the battles for our most basic civil rights rage on.

Stacey Abrams

Progress is the attraction that moves humanity.

Marcus Garvey

Progress is the injustice each generation commits with regard to its predecessors.

Emil Cioran

Progress is what happens when impossibility yields to necessity.

Arnold H. Glasow

Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.

Khalil Gibran

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

Ogden Nash

Progress often masquerades as trouble.

Dan Pena

Progress requires setbacks; the only sure way to avoid failure is not to try.

Henry Spencer

Progress takes time and discipline.

Ronnie Coleman

Progress was all right. Only it went on too long.

James Thurber

Progress will always have as its recourse to exaggerate what it cannot surpass.

Franz Grillparzer

Progress would be wonderful – if only it would stop.

Robert Musil

Progress, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.

Samuel Smiles

Progress, this great heresy of decay.

Charles Baudelaire

Progressivism is the cancer in America and it is eating our Constitution, and it was designed to eat the Constitution, to progress past the Constitution.

Glenn Beck

Real progress comes from people.

Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj

Real progress will have been made when people don’t care or even notice the color of a comedian when they’ll just be concerned with whether he’s funny.

Nipsey Russell

Reform is the mission from which we shall not digress; it is an expression of belief and determination between us and our people. With the help of Allah, we will proceed forward in this promising national process within the natural progress of the life cycle and the development of people and nation.

Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa

Regardless of political affiliation most of the policy/media world, as a subset of ‘the educated classes’ in general, tended to hold a broadly ‘blank slate’ view of the world mostly uninformed by decades of scientific progress.

Dominic Cummings

Regardless of the difficulties we may face individually, in our families, in our communities and in our nation, the old adage is still true – you can make excuses or you can make progress, but you cannot make both! The America I know doesn’t make excuses.

Mia Love

Religion often partakes of the myth of progress that shields us from the terrors of an uncertain future.

Frank Herbert

Religion, as it is understood in the West, does not lead toward progress, and science does not lead toward humanism.

Alija Izetbegovic

Remember, life itself is a mission. While we are on the go, we need to stop between steps to re-focus on the Word and the Will of God. While we are on the go, I mean, while we are on the mission, we need to sometimes stop at intervals to assess our progress and prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead.

T. B. Joshua

Remember, social progress only happens when those in society’s privileged classes choose to give up their status.

Tammy Bruce

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

Thomas A. Edison

Sadly, in the name of progress, we have polluted the air, water, soil and the food we eat.

Radhanath Swami

Science is the first expression of punk, because it doesn’t advance without challenging authority. It doesn’t make progress without tearing down what was there before and building upon the structure.

Greg Graffin

Scientific progress makes moral progress a necessity; for if man’s power is increased, the checks that restrain him from abusing it must be strengthened.

Madame de Stael

Self-government does not and should not imply the use of political agencies alone. Progress is born of cooperation in the community – not from governmental restraints.

Herbert Hoover

Self-reflection is so healthy. Journaling works for me – when I record the details of what I’m going through, whether it’s a relationship issue or negative thoughts, I can look back and see how far I’ve come. It makes me proud to see my progress and how I got through a bad situation.

Kelly Rowland

Selling beauty is something I can understand. Even selling false beauty seems perfectly natural; it’s a sign of progress.

Emile Zola

Semantics, or the study of meaning, remained undeveloped, while phonetics made rapid progress and even came to occupy the central place in the scientific study of language.

Roman Jakobson

Since the end of the Cold War, peace, prosperity, and progress have largely been the order of the day for hundreds of millions of people in the Americas, but not for the people of Cuba.

Bob Menendez

Slavery to monarchs and ministers, which the world will be long freeing itself from, and whose deadly grasp stops the progress of the human mind, is not yet abolished.

Mary Wollstonecraft

So while an incredible amount of progress has been made, on this fifth anniversary, I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you – and fight alongside you – until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back, all the way.

Barack Obama

Social media requires that business leaders start thinking like small-town shop owners. This means taking the long view and avoiding short-term benchmarks to gauge progress. It means allowing the personality, heart and soul of the people who run all levels of the business to show.

Gary Vaynerchuk

Social movements are at once the symptoms and the instruments of progress. Ignore them and statesmanship is irrelevant; fail to use them and it is weak.

Walter Lippmann

Social progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex.

Karl Marx

Some of the generals are saying, ‘We’re making progress. We are clearing an area.’ But you really don’t defeat the Taliban by clearing an area. They move.

Colin Powell

Some programming languages manage to absorb change, but withstand progress.

Alan Perlis

Someone like Cristiano Ronaldo focuses on scoring to progress, so perhaps I need to think more about scoring.

Anthony Martial

Sometimes I feel like crying, tears of happiness, tears of joy, to see the distance we’ve come and the progress we’ve made.

John Lewis

Sometimes when you’re at a club like Chelsea you feel sorry when you see a player move on, because naturally some progress and some don’t. You don’t hear about the ones that don’t.

Gary Cahill

State government has too often been used to look out for the insiders and not the citizens. This has insulated poverty from progress, and need from remedy.

Ernie Fletcher

Strength training is a fantastic microcosm for a man’s life: pushing yourself through discomfort, every single day, is the only way to make measurable progress. It’s one of the few ways to grow as a man.

Steven Crowder

Substantial progress toward better things can rarely be taken without developing new evils requiring new remedies.

William Howard Taft

Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals.

Jim Rohn

Teach thy tongue to say ‘I do not know’, and thou shalt progress.

Maimonides

Technological progress becomes even more exciting when it enters into the service of the social idea which demands that not only a small elite but humanity at large should profit by it.

Rudolf Christoph Eucken

Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.

Aldous Huxley

Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.

Albert Einstein

Technology has a shadow side. It accounts for real progress in medicine, but has also hurt it in many ways, making it more impersonal, expensive and dangerous. The false belief that a safety net of sophisticated drugs and machines stretches below us, permitting risky or lazy lifestyle choices, has undermined our spirit of self-reliance.

Andrew Weil

That is the consolation of a little mind; you have the fun of changing it without impeding the progress of mankind.

Frank Moore Colby

The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress.

Joseph Joubert

The amazing fact is that America is founded on a document. It’s a work in progress. It can be tested by each generation.

Christopher Hitchens

The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.

Alfred North Whitehead

The arts are an integral part of the city’s economic progress.

Karen Kain

The basis for sustainable progress is legal protections grounded in an awareness of how identity has been used to deny opportunity.

Stacey Abrams

The benefits of biomedical progress are obvious, clear, and powerful. The hazards are much less well appreciated.

Leon Kass

The best road to progress is freedom’s road.

John F. Kennedy

The black community now in many ways divided itself the way the larger white community divides itself, over class issues. And that race is no longer the bond that it once was. That’s one of the prices you pay for progress.

Ed Smith

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.

Victor Hugo

The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.

Gaston Bachelard

The chief obstacle to the progress of the human race is the human race.

Don Marquis

The Chinese people are a great people; they are industrious and brave, and they never pause in pursuit of progress.

Xi Jinping

The clock has been turned back on racial progress in America, though scarcely anyone seems to notice. All eyes are fixed on people like Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey who have defied the odds and achieved great power, wealth, and fame.

Michelle Alexander

The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.

Ramana Maharshi

The direction of the mind is more important than its progress.

Joseph Joubert

The economic, social and cultural progress of a nation depends on citizens counting for more and having more rights.

Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero

The embattled gates to equal rights indeed opened up for modern women, but I sometimes think to myself; that is not what I meant by freedom, it is only social progress.

Helene Deutsch

The exact measure of the progress of civilization is the degree in which the intelligence of the common mind has prevailed over wealth and brute force.

George Bancroft

The existing principle of selfish interest and competition has been carried to its extreme point; and, in its progress, has isolated the heart of man, blunted the edge of his finest sensibilities, and annihilated all his most generous impulses and sympathies.

Frances Wright

The extension of women’s rights is the basic principle of all social progress.

Charles Fourier

The fact is, when it comes to economic leadership, the Republicans have nothing to brag about. This isn’t what the American people want. They want to see progress that works for them.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

The fatal metaphor of progress, which means leaving things behind us, has utterly obscured the real idea of growth, which means leaving things inside us.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

The federal government has sponsored research that has produced a tomato that is perfect in every respect, except that you can’t eat it. We should make every effort to make sure this disease, often referred to as ‘progress’, doesn’t spread.

Andy Rooney

The first condition of progress is the removal of censorship.

George Bernard Shaw

The Freedom Caucus represents a pessimistic, divisive, and gerrymandered view of our nation. If America is to make progress, we must step forward from this form of politics – not just because we disagree with this or that policy but because it is fundamentally undemocratic and tyrannical.

Michael Bennet

The freedom of thought is a sacred right of every individual man, and diversity will continue to increase with the progress, refinement, and differentiation of the human intellect.

Felix Adler

The government I led gave ordinary people peace, security, dignity, and opportunity to progress.

Benazir Bhutto

The greatest enemy of progress is not stagnation, but false progress.

Sydney J. Harris

The greatest enemy of progress is the illusion of knowledge.

John Young

The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man’s right to his body, or woman’s right to her soul.

Emma Goldman

The history of the Erie Railroad ever since 1901 has been a record of progress.

John Moody

The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The human mind always makes progress, but it is a progress in spirals.

Madame de Stael

The humanists’ replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you’ll either save yourself or you’ll be immortal. Of course, that’s a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there’s no ethical progress whatsoever.

David Bowie

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas – uncertainty, progress, change – into crimes.

Salman Rushdie

The idealists dream and the dream is told, and the practical men listen and ponder and bring back the truth and apply it to human life, and progress and growth and higher human ideals come into being and so the world moves ever on.

Anna Howard Shaw

The indigenous peoples never had, and still do not have, the place that they should have occupied in the progress and benefits of science and technology, although they represented an important basis for this development.

Rigoberta Menchu

The individual has become a mere cog in an enormous organization of things and powers which tear from his hands all progress, spirituality, and value in order to transform them from their subjective form into the form of a purely objective life.

Georg Simmel

The keystone of successful business is cooperation. Friction retards progress.

James Cash Penney

The liberty of the individual is a necessary postulate of human progress.

Ernest Renan

The line of least resistance in the progress of civilization is to make that theoretical postulate real by the continually increasing force of the world’s public opinion.

Elihu Root

The making of an Atheist implies a mental stimulation and training which brings into play the primary factors of social progress.

Joseph McCabe

The ‘means of grace’ are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord’s Supper. I lay it down as a simple matter of fact that no one who is careless about such things must ever expect to make much progress in sanctification.

J. C. Ryle

The men and women on the front lines of the war on terror continue to risk their lives to save ours – and for that we owe them a debt that we can never truly repay. Thanks to their efforts we have made tremendous progress. Yet, the job is not done.

Doc Hastings

The modern tradition is the tradition of revolt. The French Revolution is still our model today: history is violent change, and this change goes by the name of progress. I do not know whether these notions really apply to art.

Octavio Paz

The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.

Thomas Jefferson

The Nobel awards should be regarded as giving recognition to this general scientific progress as well as to the individuals involved.

John Bardeen

The normal metric of measuring progress has actually been the rate of growth, OK? It’s not a wrong metric, but it’s not a full metric.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar

The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.

Albert Camus

The only reward in a public life is public progress. You stand back and say, ‘What did I get out of it?’ You look around, and the place is better, and that’s it.

Paul Keating

The only way you get economic progress, real standards of living moving higher, is to have the savings of the society continuously invested in the cutting-edge technologies. And those technologies which are obsolescent get dropped out.

Alan Greenspan

The pace of progress on Mars depends upon the pace of progress of SpaceX.

Elon Musk

The power to question is the basis of all human progress.

Indira Gandhi

The price of progress is trouble, and I must be making a lot of progress.

Charles Erwin Wilson

The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.

T. S. Eliot

The progress of evolution from President Washington to President Grant was alone evidence to upset Darwin.

Henry Adams

The progress of freedom depends more upon the maintenance of peace, the spread of commerce, and the diffusion of education, than upon the labors of cabinets and foreign offices.

Richard Cobden

The progress of India is the destiny of one-sixth of humanity. And it will also mean a world more confident of its prosperity and more secure about its future.

Narendra Modi

The progress of rivers to the ocean is not so rapid as that of man to error.

Voltaire

The progress of science is strewn, like an ancient desert trail, with the bleached skeleton of discarded theories which once seemed to possess eternal life.

Arthur Koestler

The progress of society is mainly the improvement in the condition of the workingmen of the world.

Rutherford B. Hayes

The progress of the American Revolution has been so rapid and such the alteration of manners, the blending of characters, and the new train of ideas that almost universally prevail, that the principles which animated to the noblest exertions have been nearly annihilated.

Mercy Otis Warren

The progress of the natural sciences in modern times has of course so much exceeded all expectations that any suggestion that there may be some limits to it is bound to arouse suspicion.

Friedrich August von Hayek

The progress of the world depends almost entirely upon education.

George Eastman

The promise of artificial intelligence and computer science generally vastly outweighs the impact it could have on some jobs in the same way that, while the invention of the airplane negatively affected the railroad industry, it opened a much wider door to human progress.

Paul Allen

The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat. The pursuit of peace and progress, with its trials and its errors, its successes and its setbacks, can never be relaxed and never abandoned.

Dag Hammarskjold

The question that we must ask is whether we are making progress toward the goal of universal peace. Or are we caught up on a treadmill of history, turning forever on the axle of mindless aggression and self-destruction?

F. W. de Klerk

The real spiritual progress of the aspirant is measured by the extent to which he achieves inner tranquility.

Swami Sivananda

The reason men oppose progress is not that they hate progress, but that they love inertia.

Elbert Hubbard

The reason of the close concurrence between the individual’s progress and that of the race appears, therefore, when we remember the dependence of each upon the other.

James Mark Baldwin

The repeal of racist language in the Constitution of Alabama was and still is a necessary step in the state’s ability to progress.

Artur Davis

The role I play is defending, so you’ve got to be doing that first and foremost. The better you can get it will help the team and help you progress, and I work on that every day.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.

Herbert Hoover

The splendid discontent of God With chaos made the world. And from the discontent of man The worlds best progress springs.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

The time is long overdue to stop looking for progress through racial or ethnic leaders. Such leaders have too many incentives to promote polarizing attitudes and actions that are counterproductive for minorities and disastrous for the country.

Thomas Sowell

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

William Gilmore Simms

The United States fully accepts the profound truth that our own progress, prosperity, and peace are interlocked with the progress, prosperity, and peace of all humanity.

Herbert Hoover

The way to judge a new artist is by listening to their albums and gauging the progress that they make from the first record to the next one.

Big Boi

The why is what makes journalism an adult game. The why is what makes policy coherent and useful. The why is what transforms bureaucrats and foot soldiers and political leaders into viable instruments of rational and affirmative change. The why is everything and without it, the very suggestion of human progress becomes a cosmic joke.

David Simon

The wonderful Mozambican people have endured tremendous misery without losing their dignity and their positive outlook on life. Moreover, they have not lost their will to progress and develop. Mozambique is a country where the people never surrendered.

Henning Mankell

The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.

Charles Kettering

There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.

Ronald Reagan

There are still forces in America that want to divide us along racial lines, religious lines, sex, class. But we’ve come too far; we’ve made too much progress to stop or to pull back. We must go forward. And I believe we will get there.

John Lewis

There can be no democracy without truth. There can be no truth without controversy, there can be no change without freedom. Without freedom there can be no progress.

Andrew Young

There has to be a global mission of human progress.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.

George Orwell

There is no greater impediment to progress in the sciences than the desire to see it take place too quickly.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

There is no hierarchy of values any more. Real progress is due mainly to human genius, and that’s rare, and usually stems from a real elite, from a hierarchy.

Vivienne Westwood

There is no progress whatever. Everything is just the same as it was thousands, and tens of thousands, of years ago. The outward form changes. The essence does not change.

Robert Louis Stevenson

There is no progress without risk, and in an environment where change is accelerating, risks are multiplying and businesses are increasingly complex, companies need strong, innovative partners to help manage their risk. Our brand clearly sets XL apart as the strong, innovative partner needed in today’s market.

Mike McGavick

There is progress whether ye are going forward or backward! The thing is to move!

Edgar Cayce

There is simply no way our nation can progress if its women population is left behind.

Pratibha Patil

There’s been progress toward seeing that nature and culture are not opposing terms, and that wilderness is not the only kind of landscape for environmentalists to concern themselves with.

Michael Pollan

There’s no doubt that the Weight Watchers’ long-term collaboration with Oprah Winfrey has certainly accelerated the company’s progress since October 2015, with high awareness of her success and happiness with the program sparking interest and excitement.

Mindy Grossman

These are challenging times at home and around the world. We will have to work together in a bipartisan spirit and with our international partners if we are going to achieve progress and peace now and for future generations.

Susan Collins

These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.

Anthony de Mello

They were the largest semiconductor maker in the world up until about 1980. I’m not sure that that can be re-gained again, but their progress in the last few years has been very impressive.

Jack Kilby

Things come naturally in a career. From experience, I know that things progress season by season.

Raphael Varane

This seems to be the law of progress in everything we do; it moves along a spiral rather than a perpendicular; we seem to be actually going out of the way, and yet it turns out that we were really moving upward all the time.

Frances E. Willard

Those men and women are fortunate who are born at a time when a great struggle for human freedom is in progress. It is an added good fortune to have parents who take a personal part in the great movements of their time. I am glad and thankful that this was my case.

Emmeline Pankhurst

Through a long and painful process, I’ve learned that happiness is an inside job – not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I’ve become a different and better person – not perfect, but still a work in progress.

Alana Stewart

Throughout the whole vegetable, sensible, and rational world, whatever makes progress towards maturity, as soon as it has passed that point, begins to verge towards decay.

Robert Blair

Thus in Christianity the alienation had become total, and it was this total alienation that was the biggest obstacle to the progress of self-consciousness.

Bruno Bauer

To get to New Orleans you don’t pass through anywhere else. That geographical location, being aloof, lets it hold onto the ritual of its own pace more than other places that have to keep up with the progress.

Allen Toussaint

To Mahatma Gandhi, the key to India’s progress was the development of its villages. In his unified vision, education, agriculture, village industry, social reform all came together to provide the basis for a vibrant rural society free from exploitation and linked to the urban centres as equals. Our planning incorporates this basic insight.

Rajiv Gandhi

To one who loves his country in all its parts, it is natural to rejoice in whatever contributes to the prosperity and honor and marks the stability and progress of any portion of its people.

Jefferson Davis

To progress in life you must give up the things you do not like. Give up doing the things that you do not like to do. You must find the things that you do like. The things that are acceptable to your mind.

Agnes Martin

To reduce the risk of a global environmental catastrophe, and to avoid reversing the course of human progress, the world must urgently bend the curve of global emissions away from fossil fuels.

Johan Rockstrom

Today, smartphones, tablets, and the Internet have allowed people to conduct business from anywhere at any time. But as we continue to progress, many families find it harder to balance the ever-increasing demands of their work with their desire to care for and be with their family.

Renee Ellmers

Today’s policies and political activity treat people like pawns. More than ever before, attempts will be made to use people like cogs in a wheel. People will be handled like puppets on a string, and everyone will think that this reflects the greatest progress imaginable.

Rudolf Steiner

Together, we have the power to inspire, connect, and deliver on new opportunities and rich experiences that can open doors to innovation and progress while growing global economies and increasing well-being.

Tae Yoo

Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress, never completed, and, if we’re as intelligent as we like to think we are, never abandoned.

Octavia E. Butler

Traditionally in crime fiction, women exist as a bedroom convenience or to screw up in order that the plot may progress. I wanted no part of that.

Ann Maxwell

True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.

Saint Francis de Sales

Trust is not about what you can or cannot do in the name of love but who you are and what you choose to reveal as things progress and evolve.

Randeep Hooda

Truth is not a matter of fact but a state of harmony with progress and hope. Enveloped only in its wings will we ever soar to the promise of our greater selves.

Bryant H. McGill

Truth is, of its essence, liberating, as it is possessed of no contrivance or conceit – that it provides the only genuine basis for progress and that the future can only be found in truth.

Paul Keating

Unless progress with agricultural yields remains very strong, the next century will experience sheer human misery that, on a numerical scale, will exceed the worst of everything that has come before.

Norman Borlaug

Unless we practice conservation, those who come after us will have to pay the price of misery, degradation, and failure for the progress and prosperity of our day.

Gifford Pinchot

Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.

H. L. Mencken

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

Van Halen is a work in progress.

Alex Van Halen

War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end; it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.

Thomas Paine

We all have a tendency to avoid our weaknesses. When we do that, we never progress or get any better.

Jocko Willink

We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

C. S. Lewis

We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill… it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress.

Li Ka-shing

We are not race blind. Of course we still have racial tensions in this country. But the United States of America has made enormous progress in race relations, and it is still the best place on Earth to be a minority.

Condoleezza Rice

We can continue our progress as a Nation toward the promise that all people are created equal and that our Nation will treat every person in that spirit.

Bobby Scott

We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests.

Sheryl Sandberg

We can have no progress without change, whether it be basketball or anything else.

John Wooden

We can no longer allow multinationals to parade as agents of progress and democracy in the newspapers, even as they subvert it at the workplace.

John Sweeney

We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community… Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.

Cesar Chavez

We have to attack those things which stand in the way of America progress. And what stands in the way of American progress right now is the federal government.

Tim Scott

We in the U.A.E. have no such word as ‘impossible’; it does not exist in our lexicon. Such a word is used by the lazy and the weak, who fear challenges and progress.

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

We live in this world in order always to learn industriously and to enlighten each other by means of discussion and to strive vigorously to promote the progress of science and the fine arts.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.

Mahatma Gandhi

We must always set the bar high, otherwise we do not progress.

Kylian Mbappe

We need affordable space travel to inspire our youth, to let them know that they can experience their dreams, can set significant goals and be in a position to lead all of us to future progress in exploration, discovery and fun. Thanks to the X Prize for the inspiration.

Burt Rutan

We need to believe that we can achieve progress in fixing our broken immigration system, prioritizing smart border security investments, cracking down on those who are trafficking and smuggling, and relieving the ongoing humanitarian crisis at our southern border.

Abigail Spanberger

We presumably believe that most of the technological progress over the arc of humanity to date has been good. I don’t see any argument to go back to 1600.

Patrick Collison

We recognized in 1996 that, with progress in the field of genetics accelerating at a breathtaking pace, we need to ensure that advances in treatment and prevention of disease do not constitute a new basis for discrimination.

Olympia Snowe

We should not allow it to be believed that all scientific progress can be reduced to mechanisms, machines, gearings, even though such machinery also has its beauty. Neither do I believe that the spirit of adventure runs any risk of disappearing in our world.

Marie Curie

We slow the progress of science today for all sorts of ethical reasons. Biomedicine could advance much faster if we abolished our rules on human experimentation in clinical trials, as Nazi researchers did.

Paul Nitze

We will find neither national purpose nor personal satisfaction in a mere continuation of economic progress, in an endless amassing of worldly goods. We cannot measure national spirit by the Dow Jones Average, nor national achievement by the Gross National Product.

Robert Kennedy

We will invest heavily in safety and security… preserve the environment… make progress on biodiversity and economic progress.

Jair Bolsonaro

We will not attain a state of perfection in this life, but we can and should press forward with faith in Christ along the strait and narrow path and make steady progress toward our eternal destiny.

David A. Bednar

We’re all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.

Tennessee Williams

We’re all works of art in progress.

Carmen Dell’Orefice

We’re making progress, but getting machines to replicate our ability to perceive and manipulate the world remains incredibly hard.

Sebastian Thrun

What I try to focus on is not to try to stop the march of technological progress. Instead, I try to run faster. If Amazon knows you better than you know yourself, then the game is up.

Yuval Noah Harari

What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.

Sigmund Freud

What we call progress is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance.

Havelock Ellis

What we need to do is lay out a plan and a vision that people can believe in. And getting into Twitter fights with the president is not exactly where we’re going to find progress as a nation.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring.

Henry Miller

When a man has emerged from slavery, there must be some stage in the progress of his elevation when he takes the rank of mere citizen and ceases to be the special favorite of the laws.

Joseph P. Bradley

When a writer declares that his first book is his best, that is bad. I progress successively from book to book.

Mahmoud Darwish

When I meet with most entrepreneurial teams, I ask them a simple question: How do you know that you’re making progress? Most of them really can’t answer that question.

Eric Ries

When it comes to spiritual truth, how can we know that we are on the right path? One way is by asking the right questions – the kind that help us ponder our progress and evaluate how things are working for us.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

When they kept you out it was because you were black; when they let you in, it is because you are black. That’s progress?

Marilyn French

When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead. No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress. We cannot take more than one step at a time.

Orison Swett Marden

When we make progress and get better at something, it is inherently motivating. In order for people to make progress, they have to get feedback and information on how they’re doing.

Daniel H. Pink

When we make progress quickly, it feeds our emotions. Then, when there’s a period of waiting or we hit a plateau, we find out how committed we really are and whether we’re going to see things through to the finish or quit.

Joyce Meyer

Whenever an individual or a business decides that success has been attained, progress stops.

Thomas J. Watson

While I will always have the utmost respect for the superhuman out-of-bounds freestyle and extreme stunts that seem to continually progress beyond our imaginable limits, my highest appreciation goes out to the simple rider who’s out there just for the experience.

Craig Kelly

While it is important for people to see your promise you must also remember that hope is the keeper of both happiness and disappointment, the father of both progress and failure.

Bryant H. McGill

While we have made great progress in increasing funding for veterans’ benefits, we still have a long way to go in fully meeting the promise to our veterans.

Sue Kelly

While we see the course of the final abolition of human slavery is onward, & we give it the aid of our prayers & all justifiable means in our power, we must leave the progress as well as the result in his hands who sees the end; who chooses to work by slow influences; & with whom two thousand years are but as a single day.

Robert E. Lee

Who I am, what I am, is the culmination of a lifetime of reading, a lifetime of stories. And there are still so many more books to read. I’m a work in progress.

Sarah Addison Allen

Who knows whether I will go into management. I’m ambitious, I want to progress and want to feel like I’m improving. Whatever happens, will happen.

Eddie Howe

Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy.

August Strindberg

Winning the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War, or World War II were the turning points in our history, the sine qua non of our forward progress.

Stephen Ambrose

With engineering, I view this year’s failure as next year’s opportunity to try it again. Failures are not something to be avoided. You want to have them happen as quickly as you can so you can make progress rapidly.

Gordon Moore

With ‘Free Agent Nation,’ I was figuring out how to write a book along with writing the book. Now I think I’ve kind of, sort of figured out how to write a book a little bit better. But the process remains not that different – slow; laborious; tiny, incremental progress each day, punctuated by feelings of despair and self-loathing.

Daniel H. Pink

With impressive proof on all sides of magnificent progress, no one can rightly deny the fundamental correctness of our economic system.

Herbert Hoover

With time, I will progress even more, and I will be more mature to score even more goals.

Anthony Martial

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.

Benjamin Franklin

Without deviation progress is not possible.

Frank Zappa

Without moral progress, stimulated by faith in God, immorality in all its forms will proliferate and strangle goodness and human decency. Mankind will not be able to fully express the potential nobility of the human soul unless faith in God is strengthened.

James E. Faust

Without struggle, no progress and no result. Every breaking of habit produces a change in the machine.

George Gurdjieff

Work hard at your game and then you will progress.

Gary Cahill

Workers must participate in progress to enjoy their work and take pride in its product.

George W. Romney

Yearning for the seemingly impossible is the path to human progress.

Bryant H. McGill

Yes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.

Barack Obama

You can embrace nostalgia and history and tradition at the same time – it has to progress or it can’t survive.

Sturgill Simpson

You can’t sit on the lid of progress. If you do, you will be blown to pieces.

Henry J. Kaiser

You don’t make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.

Shirley Chisholm

You either get better, or you don’t progress.

Lance Reddick

You have to go to your limit to progress.

James Rodriguez

You have to realize that myself and others that have been wrongfully convicted of crimes, we’ve dealt with the situation. You realize that you’re not going to survive in prison or progress as a human being if you allow yourself to continue to hold on to this negative energy.

Brian Banks

You have to train the best way that is suited to you, a way that will allow you to progress.

Ronnie Coleman

You need to keep having data points of progress, so even if an investor – and we’ve all had investors say no to us – there are times where you go back, and you keep them in the loop, and you keep telling them the progress and the perseverance you have.

Payal Kadakia

You only progress by changing things, by moving forward.

Naughty Boy

You will be courteous to your elders who have explored to the point from which you may advance; and helpful to your juniors who will progress farther by reason of your labors.

Abbott L. Lowell

Your brain – every brain – is a work in progress. It is ‘plastic.’ From the day we’re born to the day we die, it continuously revises and remodels, improving or slowly declining, as a function of how we use it.

Michael Merzenich

You’ve got to vote, vote, vote, vote. That’s it; that’s the way we move forward. That’s how we make progress for ourselves and for our country.

Michelle Obama

You’ve gotta find a way to get out of your own way, so you can progress in life.

Steve Carlton

Progress is an essential part of life, and quotes about progress can help provide motivation and inspiration. They remind us that with hard work and determination, we can reach our goals and continue to make progress in our lives. Quotes from notable figures and everyday people alike can help us to keep our eyes on the prize and to keep working towards our goals. From Martin Luther King, Jr.’s reminder that “The time is always right to do what is right,” to Steve Jobs’ advice to “Stay hungry, stay foolish,” quotes about progress provide a wealth of insight and motivation. By focusing on the future, remembering the past, and learning from both, we can make sure that we continue to make progress in our lives.
