I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn't wait for them. I tell them to get on board.

- Alex Ferguson

Well of course there's been a great deal of progress over the last 40 years. We don't have laws that segregate black people within the society any longer.

- Angela Davis

I think we've made tremendous progress on racism. We've even made progress on war. We've made almost no progress on poverty.

- Andrew Young

Technology has a shadow side. It accounts for real progress in medicine, but has also hurt it in many ways, making it more impersonal, expensive and dangerous. The false belief that a safety net of sophisticated drugs and machines stretches below us, permitting risky or lazy lifestyle choices, has undermined our spirit of self-reliance.

- Andrew Weil

People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't.

- Alice Walker

In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat, but in the evolution of real knowledge it marks the first step in progress toward a victory.

- Alfred North Whitehead

The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.

- Alfred North Whitehead

Fundamental progress has to do with the reinterpretation of basic ideas.

- Alfred North Whitehead

Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.

- Alfred Adler

In the usual progress of things, the necessities of a nation in every stage of its existence will be found at least equal to its resources.

- Alexander Hamilton

There has to be a global mission of human progress.

- A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Doubt, the essential preliminary of all improvement and discovery, must accompany the stages of man's onward progress. The faculty of doubting and questioning, without which those of comparison and judgment would be useless, is itself a divine prerogative of the reason.

- Albert Pike

Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.

- Albert Einstein

The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.

- Albert Camus

Social thinking requires very exacting thresholds to be powerful. For example, we've had social thinking for 200,000 years, and hardly anything happened that could be considered progress over most of that time. This is because what is most pervasive about social thinking is 'how to get along and mutually cope.'

- Alan Kay

The only way you get economic progress, real standards of living moving higher, is to have the savings of the society continuously invested in the cutting-edge technologies. And those technologies which are obsolescent get dropped out.

- Alan Greenspan

To progress in life you must give up the things you do not like. Give up doing the things that you do not like to do. You must find the things that you do like. The things that are acceptable to your mind.

- Agnes Martin

To try to teach ignoring technology is to ignore the progress that we have made over the last century. If school is preparation for the real world - a real world that is increasingly technology-driven - then to ignore technology is to become obsolete.

- Adora Svitak

All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions.

- Adlai E. Stevenson

Over the past few years, the road to confrontation has shown its consequences: loss of innocent lives, destruction and fear. Most costly, however, was the loss of hope. The most precious gift that you can present to your peoples over the coming weeks is renewed hope born out of tangible progress on the ground.

- Abdullah II of Jordan
