There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.

I've always been better moving than I am standing still.

Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.

Without death there would be very little progress.

To follow the path that others have laid before you is a reasonable course of action; therefore all progress is made by unreasonable men.

In judging our progress as individuals we tend to concentrate on external factors such as one's social position, influence and popularity, wealth and standard of education... But internal factors may be even more crucial in assessing one's development as a human being. Honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, pure generosity, absence of vanity, readiness to serve others - qualities which are within easy reach of every soul - are the foundation of one's spiritual life.
