I think every high school student who was alert during the early '60s got very embittered by the slow progress and the violence surrounding the Civil Rights Movement. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Slow Progress quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
Do not be impatient with your seemingly slow progress. Do not try to run faster than you presently can. If you are studying, reflecting and trying, you are making progress whether you are aware of it or not. A traveler walking the road in the darkness of night is still going forward. Someday, some way, everything will break open, like the natural unfolding of a rosebud. ~ Vernon Howard
Slow Progress quotes by Vernon Howard
Leg locomotion was, for decades, thought to be an incredibly difficult problem. There has been very, very painstakingly slow progress there, and robots that essentially lumbered along at one step every 15 seconds and occasionally fell over. ~ Stuart J. Russell
Slow Progress quotes by Stuart J. Russell
This was all splendid stuff for Luciaphils; it was amazing how at a first glance she recognised everybody. The gallery, too, was full of dears and darlings of a few weeks' standing, and she completed a little dinner-party for next Tuesday long before she had made the circuit. All the time she kept Stephen by her side, looked over his catalogue, put a hand on his arm to direct his attention to some picture, took a speck of alien material off his sleeve, and all the time the entranced Adele felt increasingly certain that she had plumbed the depth of the adorable situation. Her sole anxiety was as to whether Stephen would plumb it too. He might--though he didn't look like it--welcome these little tokens of intimacy as indicating something more, and when they were alone attempt to kiss her, and that would ruin the whole exquisite design. Luckily his demeanour was not that of a favoured swain; it was, on the other hand, more the demeanour of a swain who feared to be favoured, and if that shy thing took fright, the situation would be equally ruined. . . . To think that the most perfect piece of Luciaphilism was dependent on the just perceptions of Stephen! As the three made their slow progress, listening to Lucia's brilliant identifications, Adele willed Stephen to understand; she projected a perfect torrent of suggestion towards his mind. He must, he should understand. . . .

Fervent desire, so every psychist affirms, is never barren. It conveys something of its yearning ~ E.F. Benson
Slow Progress quotes by E.F. Benson
The real question is whether we can learn anything from our experiences upon which we may grow and help others to grow in the likeness and image of God. We know that if we rebel against doing that which is reasonably possible for us, then we will be penalized. And we will be equally penalized if we presume in ourselves a perfection that simply is not there. Apparently, the course of relative humility and progress will have to lie somewhere between these extremes. In our slow progress away from rebellion, true perfection is doubtless several millennia away ~ Bill W.
Slow Progress quotes by Bill W.
Progressing at a snail's pace is still progress, and slow progress is better than no progress. Never be stagnant, and never give up. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Slow Progress quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Men do not often dare to avow, even to themselves, the slow progress reason has made in their minds; but they are ready to follow it if it is presented to them in a lively and striking manner, and forces them to recognize it. ~ Nicolas De Caritat, Marquis De Condorcet
Slow Progress quotes by Nicolas De Caritat, Marquis De Condorcet
Here's a secret: fictive text doesn't necessarily flow easily. Most of the time it's more like cutting a highway through a mountain. You just have to keep working with your pick, chipping away at the rock, making slow progress. ~ Piers Anthony
Slow Progress quotes by Piers Anthony
Even snails make progress. Just be sure your progress is in the direction you want to go. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Slow Progress quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
But science, dominated by the spirit of religion is the key to progress and the hope of the future. For example, evolution's beautiful theory of the creation of the world offers many perplexing problems to the inquiring mind. Inevitably, a teacher who denies divine agency in creation, who insists there is no intelligent purpose in it, will infest the student with the thought that all may be chance. I say, that no youth should be so led without a counter balancing though. Even the skeptic teacher should be fair enough to see that even Charles Darwin, when he faced this great question of annihilation, that the creation is dominated only by chance wrote: "It is an intolerable thought than man and all other sentient beings are doomed to complete annihilation after such long, continued slow progress." And another good authority, Raymond West, said, "Why this vast [expenditure] of time and pain and blood?" Why should man come so far if he's destined to go no farther? A creature that travels such distances and fought such battles and won such victories deserves what we are compelled to say, "To conquer death and rob the grave of its victory. ~ David O McKay
Slow Progress quotes by David O McKay
Never discourage anyone ... who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. ~ Plato
Slow Progress quotes by Plato
Every day His servants are dying modestly and peacefully
not a word of victory on their lips; but Christ's deep triumph in their hearts
watching the slow progress of their own decay, and yet so far emancipated from personal anxiety that they are still able to think and plan for others, not knowing that they are doing any great thing. They die, and the world hears nothing of them; and yet theirs was the completest victory. They came to the battle field, the field to which they had been looking forward all their lives, and the enemy was not to be found. There was no foe to fight with. ~ Frederick William Robertson
Slow Progress quotes by Frederick William Robertson
It wasn't science and technology that cause a slow progress,
but collective knowledge of the society and market demands. ~ Toba Beta
Slow Progress quotes by Toba Beta
The reason for the slow progress of the world seems to lie in a single fact. Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. ~ John Jay Chapman
Slow Progress quotes by John Jay Chapman
Our object in these remarks has been not only to account for the slow progress which has as yet been made by Political Economy, and to suggest means by which its advancement may be accelerated, but also to warn the reader of the nature of the following Treatise. ~ Nassau William Senior
Slow Progress quotes by Nassau William Senior
The day passed as it always did - in slow motion, with a thousand plaintive glances at the clock. But now it was even more unbearable, because every minute I wasted in school was another minute in which I failed to find her. ~ John Green
Slow Progress quotes by John Green
A lot of people assume you can think better with a slow diet of books, but that will not be the case for every reader. I prefer inundation. ~ Tony Reinke
Slow Progress quotes by Tony Reinke
The progress of the Way seems retreating. ~ Laozi
Slow Progress quotes by Laozi
Obsolescence is the very hallmark of progress. ~ Henry Ford II
Slow Progress quotes by Henry Ford II
Old school new school need to learn though I burn baby, burn like Disco Inferno Burn slow like blunts with ya-yo Peel more skins than Idaho potato ~ The Notorious B.I.G.
Slow Progress quotes by The Notorious B.I.G.
The tears coursed down her cheeks - not freely, however, for when they came into contact with her heavily beaded eyelashes they assumed an inky color, and pursued the rest of their way in slow black rivulets. A humorous suggestion was made that she sing the notes on her face whereupon she threw up her hands, sank into a chair and went off into a deep vinous sleep. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Slow Progress quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Remember your goals are "better" and "less," so progress is everything. ~ Dana K. White
Slow Progress quotes by Dana K. White
There are only two industries in this world that ever make any kind of progress: porn, and the military. And when they hop in bed together with crazy fundamentalists, we get things like you. ~ Madeline Ashby
Slow Progress quotes by Madeline Ashby
Improving the world can be a nasty and ugly and difficult and dangerous business ... because when you improve the world, you threaten the entrenched interests of evil people. ~ Stefan Molyneux
Slow Progress quotes by Stefan Molyneux
If any man has drunk a little too deeply from the cup of physical pleasure; if he has spent too much time at his desk that should have been spent asleep; if his fine spirits have become temporarily dulled; if he finds the air too damp, the minutes too slow, and the atmosphere too heavy to withstand; if he is obsessed by a fixed idea which bars him from any freedom of thought: if he is any of these poor creatures, we say, let him be given a good pint of amber-flavored chocolate ... and marvels will be performed. ~ Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Slow Progress quotes by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
The gentleman prefers to be slow in word but diligent in action. ~ Confucius
Slow Progress quotes by Confucius
Technocracy gave us the idea of progress, and of necessity loosened our bonds with tradition - whether political or spiritual. Technocracy filled the air with the promise of new freedoms and new forms of social organization. Technocracy also speeded up the world. We could get places faster, do things faster, accomplish more in a shorter time. Time, in fact, became an adversary over which technology could triumph. And this meant that there was no time to look back or to contemplate what was being lost. ~ Neil Postman
Slow Progress quotes by Neil Postman
There is a desire for progress in the hearts of all men, and it is the sense of frustration and inability to move forward that brings violent revolution. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Slow Progress quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
The Call

Out of the nothingness of sleep,
The slow dreams of Eternity,
There was a thunder on the deep:
I came, because you called to me.

I broke the Night's primeval bars,
I dared the old abysmal curse,
And flashed through ranks of frightened stars
Suddenly on the universe!

The eternal silences were broken;
Hell became Heaven as I passed. --
What shall I give you as a token,
A sign that we have met, at last?

I'll break and forge the stars anew,
Shatter the heavens with a song;
Immortal in my love for you,
Because I love you, very strong.

Your mouth shall mock the old and wise,
Your laugh shall fill the world with flame,
I'll write upon the shrinking skies
The scarlet splendour of your name,

Till Heaven cracks, and Hell thereunder
Dies in her ultimate mad fire,
And darkness falls, with scornful thunder,
On dreams of men and men's desire.

Then only in the empty spaces,
Death, walking very silently,
Shall fear the glory of our faces
Through all the dark infinity.

So, clothed about with perfect love,
The eternal end shall find us one,
Alone above the Night, above
The dust of the dead gods, alone. ~ Rupert Brooke
Slow Progress quotes by Rupert Brooke
One thing alone I charge you. As you live, believe in life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader and fuller life. The only possible death is to lose belief in this truth simply because the great end comes slowly, because time is long. ~ W.E.B. Du Bois
Slow Progress quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois
Integrity is the first step to true greatness. Men love to praise, but are slow to practice it. To maintain it in high places costs self-denial; in all places it is liable to opposition, but its end is glorious, and the universe will yet do it homage. ~ Charles Simmons
Slow Progress quotes by Charles Simmons
Satisfying yourself requires challenges because when you come to a certain point, you're not happy anymore. You don't feel happy with the way you played one year ago, you have to always make progress. So that's a challenge. ~ Hiromi
Slow Progress quotes by Hiromi
Julia progresses from cradle to grave, showing how government makes every good thing in her life possible. The weak economy, high unemployment, falling wages, rising gas prices, the national debt, the insolvency of entitlements - all these are fictionally assumed away in a cartoon that is produced by a president who wants us to forget about them. ~ Mitt Romney
Slow Progress quotes by Mitt Romney
The truly apocalyptic view of the world is that things do not repeat themselves. It isn't absurd, e.g., to believe that the age of science and technology is the beginning of the end for humanity; that the idea of great progress is delusion, along with the idea that the truth will ultimately be known; that there is nothing good or desirable about scientific knowledge and that mankind, in seeking it, is falling into a trap. It is by no means obvious that this is not how things are. ~ Ludwig Wittgenstein
Slow Progress quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Her hand fluttered over her heart. "Did you just say the word shopping without flinching?"
"I did. So?"
"So, that's gotta be a record. It's a worldwide fact men hate shopping."
"How can I hate it when I've never done it?"
Her lips curled into a slow, beautiful smile. "If you weren't already an angel, I'd dub you a saint. Poor guy. You have no idea what you're in for. ~ Gena Showalter
Slow Progress quotes by Gena Showalter
Sure she would want that again - tenderness compassion
slow erotic lovemaking - but not tonight. Tonight she wanted
to experience her transformation she wanted to test the limits of her new body to soar to new heights of pleasure.
She wanted her Alpha male.
And she wanted him now. ~ Tessa Dawn
Slow Progress quotes by Tessa Dawn
Effortlessness is the ability to slow down and listen for the spaces between the joints ... Deep within all things there is a natural rhythm, a music of opening and closing, expansion and contraction. ~ Wayne Muller
Slow Progress quotes by Wayne Muller
Have I said clearly enough that the Community we created is not an end in itself? It is a process of change, continuing in that same process which in an earlier period produced our national forms of life. The sovereign nations of the past can no longer solve the problems of the present: they cannot ensure their own progress or control their own future. And the Community itself is only a stage on the way of the organized world of tomorrow. ~ Jean Monnet
Slow Progress quotes by Jean Monnet
If the wild filly, "Progress," thou wouldst ride,
Have young companions ever at thy side;
But wouldst thou stride the stanch old mare, "Success,"
Go with thine elders, though they please thee less. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
Slow Progress quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
Generally the first week in September brings the hottest weather of the year, and this was no exception. Overhead the fans turned slow, their paddle blades stirring the air up close to the ceiling but nowheres else ... ~ Shelby Foote
Slow Progress quotes by Shelby Foote
The humanists' replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you'll either save yourself or you'll be immortal. Of course, that's a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there's no ethical progress whatsoever. ~ David Bowie
Slow Progress quotes by David Bowie
If anybody here has trouble with the concept of design humility, reflect on this: It took us 5,000 years to put wheels on our luggage. ~ William McDonough
Slow Progress quotes by William McDonough
This desire of knowledge and the wonder which it hopes to satisfy are the driving power behind all the changes that we, with careless, question-begging inference, call progress. ~ Nicholas Murray Butler
Slow Progress quotes by Nicholas Murray Butler
Do not allow past experiences to be imprinted on your mind. Perform asana each time with a fresh mind and with a fresh approach. ~ B.K.S. Iyengar
Slow Progress quotes by B.K.S. Iyengar
She is walking several feet ahead, pretending I don't exist, but that's okay, I'm used to it, and what she doesn't know is that is doesn't faze me. People either see me or they don't. I wonder what it's like to walk down the street, safe and easy in your skin, and just blend right in. No one turning away, no one starring, no one waiting and expecting, wondering what stupid, crazy thing you'll do next
Then I can't hold back anymore, and I take off running, and it feels good to break free from the slow, regular pace of everyone else. I break free from my mind, which is, for some reason, picturing myself as dead as the authors of the books she has collected, asleep for good this time, buried deep in the ground under layers and layers of dirt and cornfields. I can almost feel the earth closing in, the air going stale and damp, the dark pressing down on top of me, and I have to open my mouth to breath. ~ Jennifer Niven
Slow Progress quotes by Jennifer Niven
Generally speaking, an Indian university must regard itself as one of the living organs of national reconstruction. It must discover the best means of blending together both the spiritual and the material aspects of life. It must equip its alumni irrespective of caste, creed or sex, with individual fitness, not for its own sake, not for merely adorning varied occupations and professions, but in order to teach them how to merge their individuality in the common cause of advancing the progress and prosperity of their motherland and upholding the highest traditions of human civilisation. ~ Syama Prasad Mukherjee
Slow Progress quotes by Syama Prasad Mukherjee
I'm always a work in progress. ~ Billie Joe Armstrong
Slow Progress quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
Everywhere, and at all times, economic progress has meant far more to the poor than to the rich. ~ Milton Friedman
Slow Progress quotes by Milton Friedman
Slowly, very slowly, he sat up, and as he did so he felt more alive, and more aware of his own living body than ever before. Why had he never appreciated what a miracle he was, brain and nerve and bounding heart? It would all be gone ... or at least, he would be gone from it. His breath came slow and deep, and his mouth and throat were completely dry, but so were his eyes. ~ J.K. Rowling
Slow Progress quotes by J.K. Rowling
In differentiation, not in uniformity, lies the path of progress. ~ Louis D. Brandeis
Slow Progress quotes by Louis D. Brandeis
Its subject is the slow and erratic process by which the peoples of the British Isles learnt - and then for long periods forgot - about the 'Safeguard of the Sea', as the 15th century phrase had it, meaning the use of the sea for national defence, and the defence of those who used the sea. ~ Nicholas Rodger
Slow Progress quotes by Nicholas Rodger
