Make incremental progress, change comes not by the yard, but by the inch.

Rick Pitino

Mile by mile, it's a trial; yard by yard, it's hard; but inch by inch, it's a cinch.

Gabrielle Giffords

Inch by inch, life's a cinch. Yard by yard, life's hard.

John Bytheway

An inch of time on the sundial is worth more than a foot of jade.

Confucius

We shall progress inch by inch.

Swami Vivekananda

Give the enemy an inch, he'll take a yard.

Monica Crowley

Give the enemy an inch, hell take a yard.

Monica Crowley

I used to have a 28-inch waist.' I hear this complaint from women over 40 a lot, and I can sympathize.

Denise Austin

That was only a yard away from being an inch-perfect pass.

Murdo MacLeod

Life by the yard is hard; by the inch it's a cinch. Decisions Determine Destiny.

Thomas S. Monson

Progress, in the sense of acquisition, is something; but progress in the sense of being, is a great deal more. To grow higher, deeper, wider, as the years go on; to conquer difficulties, and acquire more and more power; to feel all one's faculties unfolding, and truth descending into the soul,--this makes life worth living.

James Freeman Clarke

Life by the yard is hard; by the inch it's a cinch. Each of us can be true for just one day--and then one more and then one more after that--until we've lived a lifetime guided by the Spirit, a lifetime close to the Lord, a lifetime of good deeds and righteousness.

Thomas S. Monson

Take the word for it of a man who has made his way inch by inch, and does not believe that we'll wake up to find our work done because we've lain all night a-dreaming of it; anything worth doing is devilish hard to do!

Henry James

If you learn to sell, it's worth more than a degree. It's worth more than the heavyweight championship of the world. It's even more important than having a million dollars in the bank. Learn to sell, and you'll never starve.

George Foreman

Human intelligence was more trouble than it was worth. It was more destructive than creative, more confusing than revealing, more discouraging than satisfying, more spiteful than charitable.

Michael Crichton

Our civilization is characterized by the word "progress." Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only.

Ludwig Wittgenstein
