Competition is not only the basis of protection to the consumer, but is the incentive to progress.
Herbert Hoover, American President (1874-1964)
The reason men oppose progress is not that they hate progress, but that they love inertia.

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.

Women are called upon to defend every bit of progress we have made against particularly virulent attack. But we must also hold out a vision, put forth a positive agenda of what women need and want and then move forward toward that dream.
Patricia Ireland, American Activist (1945-  )
Progress for black Americans depends on good schools because education is the last great equalizer.

Semantics, or the study of meaning, remained undeveloped, while phonetics made rapid progress and even came to occupy the central place in the scientific study of language.
Roman Jakobson, Russian Scientist (1896-1982)
I wanted to make an Indian character who wasn't either a) the savage that must be eliminated, the force of nature that's blocking the way for industrial progress, or b) the noble innocent that knows all and is another cliche. I wanted him to be a complicated human being.
Jim Jarmusch, American Director (1953-  )
