Notable quotes

“The condition of all progress is experience. We go wrong a thousand times before we find the right path. We struggle, and grope, and hurt ourselves until we learn the use of things, and this is true of things spiritual as well as of material things. Pain is unavoidable, but it acquires a new and higher meaning when we perceive that it is the price humanity must pay for an invaluable good.”
— Felix Adler, Life and Destiny (1913), Section 8: Suffering and Consolation
“Most of the basic ideas in the Renaissance view of history are still clearly present in the controversies in the latter half of the seventeenth century; but the famous quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns—the controversy in the course of which a more modern view of progress was hammered out—is already visible at the time of the Renaissance.”
— Ibid.
“Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.”
— Kahlil Gibran, A Handful of Sand on the Shore, as quoted in Alterquest: the Alternative Quest for Answers (2006) by Karen Fiala, p. 127
“All progress, ultimately, is the result of playing with ideas and seeing new ways of connecting existing knowledge in such a way that the sum is greater than its constituent parts.”
— John Pollack, The Pun Also Rises (2011), , p. 149
“Quod sequitur, fugio; quod fugit, usque sequor.”
— What follows I flee; what flees I ever pursue.
“The day of large profits is probably past. There may be room for further intensive, but not extensive, development of industry in the present area of civilization.”
— Carroll D. Wright, U.S. commissioner of labor. Industrial Depressions, first annual report of the U.S. Bureau of Labor, 1885, chapter 3, p. 257. House Executive Doc. 497#150;1, part 5
