People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't.

Progress, 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.

Real progress comes from people.

The march of the human mind is slow.

Progress depends on our brain. The most important part of our brain, that which is neocortical, must be used to help others and not just to make discoveries.

When we make progress quickly, it feeds our emotions. Then, when there's a period of waiting or we hit a plateau, we find out how committed we really are and whether we're going to see things through to the finish or quit.

Each successive period of progress is a period more humane and spiritual. The only logical conclusion is that all is Mind and its manifestation, from the rolling of worlds, in the most subtle ether, to a potato-patch.

Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.

Human progress has always been driven by a sense of adventure and unconventional thinking.

True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
