Quotes on Progress
Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead

Brian Tracy
Everyday do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow.
Doug Firebaugh
Progress, however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.
Samuel Smiles
A successful individual typically sets his next goal somewhat but not too much above his last achievement. In this way he steadily raises his level of aspiration.
Kurt Lewin
The undertaking of a new action brings new strength.
Evenius
Progress is the activity of today and the assurance of tomorrow.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher.

Zig Ziglar
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
George Bernard Shaw
When life does not go our way or we inadvertently make a mistake, it is so easy to make excuses, place blame on others, or argue that circumstances were against us. But we only progress in life to the extent that we take responsibility for our actions and attitudes, and put forth the initiative necessary to create our own circumstances.
Stephen Covey
Determine a single measure that you can use to grade your progress and success in each area of your life. Refer to it daily.
Brian Tracy
The greatest thing about tomorrow is I will be better than I am today. And that's how I look at my life. I will be better as a golfer, I will be better as a person, I will be better as a father, I will be a better husband, I will be better as a friend. That's the beauty of tomorrow. There is no such thing as a setback. The lessons I learn today I will apply tomorrow, and I will be better.
Tiger Woods

Charlie Munger
For my part, I rather distrust men or concerns that rise up with the speed of rockets. Sudden rises are sometimes followed by equally sudden falls. I have most faith in the individual or enterprise that advances step by step. A mushroom can spring up in a day; an oak takes 50 years or more to reach maturity. Mushrooms don't last; oaks do. The real cause for an enormous number of business failures is premature over-expansion, attempting to gallop before learning to creep. Sudden successes often invite sudden reverses
Bertie Forbes
We cannot advance without new experiments in living, but no wise man tries every day what he has proved wrong the day before.
James Truslow Adams
