Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.  Albert Einstein quotes The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. Thomas Jefferson quotes The turtle makes progress only when he sticks his neck out. James Bryant Conant quotes Progress comes from the intelligent use of experience. Elbert Hubbard quotes Progress is the life-style of man. The general life of the human race is called Progress, and so is its collective march. Progress advances, it makes the great human and earthly journey towards what is heavenly and divine; it has its pauses, when it rallies the stragglers, its stopping places when it meditates, contemplating some new and splendid promised land that has suddenly appeared on its horizon. It has its nights of slumber; and it is one of the poignant anxieties of the thinker to see the human spirit lost in shadow, and to grope in the darkness without being able to awake sleeping progress. Victor Hugo quotes The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality. T.S. Eliot quotes My own experience and development deepen everyday my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy. T.S. Eliot quotes The progress of our soul is like a perfect poem. It has an infinite idea which once realized makes all movements full of meaning and joy. But if we detach its movements from that ultimate idea, if we do not see the infinite rest and only see the infinite motion, then existence appears to us a monstrous evil., impetuously rushing towards an unending aimlessness. Rabindranath Tagore quotes It would be difficult for me to express all my thoughts about it. It remains a constant disappointment to me that my drawings are not yet what I want them to be. The difficulties are indeed numerous and great, and cannot be overcome immediately. Making progress is like miners' work: it doesn't advance as quickly as one should like, and also as others expect; but faced with such a task, patience and faithfulness are essential. In fact, I don't think much about the difficulties, because if one thought of them too much, one would get dazed or confused. Vincent Van Gogh quotes All our lauded technological progress -- our very civilization - is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal. Albert Einstein quotes |
