A Quote by Bertrand Russell

Change is one thing, progress is another. — © Bertrand Russell
Change is one thing, progress is another.
It's one thing to change regulations on the city level, another on the state, and still another on the federal. The higher the levels are, the more difficult change gets.
One thing we know for sure is that change is certain. Progress is not. Progress depends on the choices we make today for tomorrow and on whether we meet our challenges and protect our values.
Change is scientific; progress is ethical; change is indubitable, whereas progress is a matter of controversy.
vivisection is not the same thing as scientific progress. There is such a thing as scientific progress. But this wholesale dedication of scientists to vivisection, which is the easy and cheap way, actually prevents them from scientific progress, for true progress is difficult and requires genius and imagination in its devoted workers.
Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change.
One thing we know for sure is that change is certain, progress is not.
We have been making changes continuously. You cannot expect everything to be perfect the minute it is made. Things change; they are dynamic as you progress. The requirements change. Demands change. So you change with that.
The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.
The power of mathematics is often to change one thing into another, to change geometry into language.
All change may not be progress, but all progress is the result of change
Although there is no progress without change, not all change is progress.
Change is not always progress... A fever of newness has everywhere been confused with the spirit of progress.
Change is inevitable, change will always happen, but you have to apply direction to change, and that's when it's progress.
In a way, and I don't like to use this word, but delusion can be a good thing, it can be a bad thing, but when you genuinely believe in something, if you're putting in the effort to progress, you're going to progress more than someone who doesn't think they can do it.
It's one thing to be bitter about something, but it's another thing to recognise the growth and the change that you made.
There’s this thing called progress. But it doesn’t progress. It doesn’t go anywhere. Because as progress progresses the world can slip away. It’s progress if you can stop the world slipping away. My humble model for progress I the reclamation of land. Which is repeatedly, never-ending retrieving what it lost. A dogged and vigilant business. A dull yet valuable business. A hard, inglorious business. But you shouldn’t go mistaking the reclamation of land for the building of empires.
