Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Change is scientific; progress is ethical; change is indubitable, whereas progress is a matter of controversy.

Bertrand Russell

Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change.

Henry Steele Commager

A favor tardily bestowed is no favor; for a favor quickly granted is a more agreeable favor.

Decimius Magnus Ausonius

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.

Rajiv Gandhi

All change may not be progress, but all progress is the result of change

John Wooden

Although there is no progress without change, not all change is progress.

John Wooden

Change is not always progress... A fever of newness has everywhere been confused with the spirit of progress.

Henry Ford

Change is inevitable, change will always happen, but you have to apply direction to change, and that's when it's progress.

Doug Baldwin

We need to make sure that the laws we're passing are protecting people. And we should not be voting against something that makes progress just because it doesn't make as much progress as we'd like to see made. As much as I might like to see any number of issues progress in larger steps, I understand that some of these things happen in smaller steps. And so for that reason, progress is progress. And success is success.

Clay Aiken

The fact that we're all hyphenating our names suggests that we are afraid of being assimilated. I was talking on the BBC recently, and this woman introduced me as being "in favor of assimilation." I said, "I'm not in favor of assimilation." I am no more in favor of assimilation than I am in favor of the Pacific Ocean. Assimilation is not something to oppose or favor - it just happens.

Richard Rodriguez

I like progress but I hate change.

Jon Bon Jovi

LinkedIn's got a little progress bar. It wants you to do things like sign up 10 of your friends. It does that near the end. At the beginning it's like, 'You put in your name. 20 percent progress! How about some other information?' People want to fill in that progress bar. They like to complete a task. They like to check a box.

Jesse Schell

people with a sense of fulfillment think it is a good world and would like to conserve it as it is, while the frustrated favor radical change.

Eric Hoffer

Progress of any kind is always at variance with the old and established ideas and therefore with the codes inspired by them. Every step of progress is a change involving heavy risks.

Ludwig von Mises

How do we slow down what matters the most and speed up what benefits change and progress? We don't want to impede progress, but we are seeking reconnection to ourselves, to each other, and with the world.

John Maeda
