“A small step forward is better than one back.”
“It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.”
“Don't step backward toward nothing, step forward toward something, better awkward steps forward, than coward steps backward.”
“Better to have to retrace your steps and then move forward than never to move forward at all.”
“If you’re tired of taking one step forward and two steps back, just turn around. That way you’ll be going forward in reverse. ”
“In life, you take strides forward, but you always take a few steps back. But in the end, if you take more steps forward than backward, you're making progress.”
