“A step backward is a step forward in history”

“Don't step backward toward nothing, step forward toward something, better awkward steps forward, than coward steps backward.”

“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.”

“Acceptance may be seen as the first step in healing, though when there is true acceptance, this is not really a step. Acceptance is there whether you step forward, backward or remain where you are. Also when acceptance is total there is no need of any further step. Acceptance will suffice.”

“It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.”

“Our course heavenward is like the plan of the zealous pilgrim of old, who for every three steps forward, took one backward.”
