Many people are busy trying to find better ways of doing things that should not have to be done at all. There is no progress in merely finding a better way to do a useless thing.
Progress is not made by pulling off a series of stunts. Each step has to be regulated. A man cannot expect to progress without thinking.
I regarded our progress merely as an invitation to do more - as an indication that we had reached a place where we might begin to perform a real service.
There is a subtle danger in a man thinking that he is "fixed" for life. It indicates that the next jolt of the wheel of progress is going to fling him off.
Change is not always progress... A fever of newness has everywhere been confused with the spirit of progress.
