#Progress

"To become a true global citizen, one must abandon all notions of 'otherness' and instead embrace 'togetherness'."

"Nothing is born of nothing, least of all knowledge, modernity, or enlightened thought; progress is made in tiny surges, in successive laps, like an endless relay race. But there are links without which nothing would be passed on, and for that reason, they deserve the gratitude of all who benefited from them."

"We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men."

"Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals."

"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."

"Well, I always know what I want. And when you know what you want--you go toward it. Sometimes you go very fast, and sometimes only an inch a year. Perhaps you feel happier when you go fast. I don't know. I've forgotten the difference long ago, because it really doesn't matter, so long as you move."

"The zipper displaces the button and a man lacks just that much time to think while dressing at dawn, a philosophical hour, and thus a melancholy hour."

"I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration."

"Very much, string theory is simply a work in progress. What we are inching toward every day are predictions that within the realm of current technology we hope to test. It's not like we're working on a theory that is permanently beyond experiment. That would be philosophy."

"As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning."

"The optimist underestimates how difficult it is to achieve real change, believing that anything is possible and it's possible now. Only by confronting head-on the reality that all progress is going to be obstructed by vested interests and corrupted by human venality can we create realistic programmes that actually have a chance of success."

"To reap a return in ten years, plant trees. To reap a return in 100, cultivate the people."

"The Victorian Age, for all its humbug, was a period of rapid progress, because men were dominated by hope rather than fear. If we are again to have progress, we must again be dominated by hope."

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

"Pessoas orgulhosas criam grandes tristezas para si mesmas"

"Commitment mixed with drive and sprinkled with imagination creates sustained results. Stay focused and you will make your mark!"

"Too much action with too little intent makes for wasteful exertion of energy and the confusion between movement and progress."

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

"Stay away from conflictive, negative people that pull you down, because they contaminate your energy and impede your progress. Search for people who look at the world with optimism, that inspire you, make you happy and provide peace of mind."

"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."
