Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual.<\/div>\n
George Santayana<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The reason for the slow progress of the world seems to lie in a single fact. Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.<\/div>\n

The slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.<\/div>\n
Herbert Clark Hoover<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
The true law of the race is progress and development. Whenever civilization pauses in the march of conquest, it is overthrown by the barbarian.<\/div>\n
William Gilmore Simms<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
The United States has to move very fast to even stand still.<\/div>\n
