“The dictionary says progress means moving forward. Herbert Hoover was just a boy in Iowa. Then he lived all over the world helping solve problems. Now he is president of the United States. That is progress. And Iowas is part of progress. So I am part of progress. - Tugs Button”
“Move forward for forward is progress but circles are movement.”
“He [Augustine] admitted: 'I am the sort of man who writes because he has made progress, and who makes progress by writing.'”
“They say I'm old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!”
“Pro and con are opposites, that fact is clearly seen. If progress means to move forward, then what does congress mean?”
“We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning 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. There is nothing progressive about being pig-headed and refusing to admit a mistake. And I think if you look at the present state of the world it's pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistake. We're on the wrong road. And if that is so we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on.”
