Progress: quotes

Some great quotes on progress to chew on over the weekend!! I especially love the quote by George Barnard Shaw. It is direct, it is strong, and it is completely true. Progress would never have happened unless people had questioned, demanded and created their own ways of doing things. That is the basis of all progress.

"The world is so fast that there are days when the person who says it can't be done is interrupted by the person who is doing it."
-Anon.

"Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be."
-Kahlil Gibran, "A Handful of Sand on the Shore"

"All progress occurs because people dare to be different."
-Harry Millner

"Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people."
-George Bernard Shaw
