“Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keepsmoving but does not make any progress.”
“Believing in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made.”
“Too much action with too little intent makes for wasteful exertion of energy and the confusion between movement and progress.”
“We started seeing motion as a sign of success and transition as a sign of progress.”
“Progress means getting nearer to the place you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turn, then to go forward does not get you any nearer.If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.”
“The human mind is always making progress, but it is a progress in spirals.”
