Extraordinary individuals take one step back and two steps forward with most every challenge-and sometimes two steps back to one step forward. They harvest useful lessons and knowledge from what doesn't work, and they display a remarkable resiliency; and ability to bounce back from adversity.

Jerry I. Porras

In a real relationship, you take two steps forward, one step back. So just because we take two steps forward and get all the benefit from that doesn't mean we can't go back or to the side.

Shelley Long

In your life's defining moments there are two choices - you either step forward in faith and power or you step backward into fear.

James Arthur Ray

I believe my party should never flinch from the requirement that we must continue this progression, otherwise we may end up like the Republican party who lost an election last year that they could have won were it not for their socially conservative agenda. We may have gone two steps forward, but I fear we may have gone one step backwards. The modernisation of the Conservative party is not yet complete.

Margot James

Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.

Julia Cameron

Political and social change is always a stagger-step process. One step forward, two steps back. They want you to give up.

Hal Sparks

If you are content with yourself, you'll stop taking those little steps forward and begin taking big steps backward.

Greg Maddux

I have to strive to go two steps forward and realize that, sometimes, there will be one step back.

Victoria Moran

Utopia lies at the horizon. When I draw nearer by two steps, it retreats two steps. If I proceed ten steps forward, it swiftly slips ten steps ahead. No matter how far I go, I can never reach it. What, then, is the purpose of utopia? It is to cause us to advance.

Eduardo Galeano

It's a very slow process - two steps forward, one step back - but I'm inching in the right direction.

Rob Reiner

Stock ownership in the US is very highly concentrated. [Shareholder actions are] something, but it's like the old Communist Party in the USSR, it would be nice to see more protest inside the Communist Party but it's not democracy. It's not going to happen. [Shareholder actions] are a good step, but they're mostly symbolic.

Noam Chomsky

When you're transitioning, and you're trying to develop a better brand of soccer, at some point, you have to step backward before you step forward.

Christen Press

The Communist Party of China is a party that seeks peace, harmony and reconciliation, unlike the Communist Party of the former Soviet Union

Zheng Bijian

Light and dark are relative to one another like forward and backward steps.

Shitou Xiqian

It's disheartening that animal people criticize societies that enlist the help of actors or organize creative acts like 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur,' to increase public awareness to our cause. These are great/courageous ideas which time has come! Liberation of animals is REVOLUTION - not elegant performance/ intellectual competition. We should do most anything to advance the animal rights cause. All the bickering may make the one step forward... TWO STEPS BACKWARD???

Adela Popescu

My parents called themselves progressives. The agenda was a Soviet America...the slogan of the communist party in those days was peace, jobs, democracy. Sound familar? The communist party is the democratic Party.

David Horowitz
