“Progress is made by the improvement of people, not the improvement of machines.”
“If we are bound to improve, we need not trouble to improve. The pure doctrine of progress is the best of all reasons for not being a progressive.”
“Mere improvement is not redemption, though redemption always improves people”
“Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.”
“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. ”
“Associate with people who are likely to improve you.”
