Russia on its path has oftentimes discussed and overdiscussed what had happened earlier, instead of moving forward. The result is always the same: It is very difficult to move forward when you're looking backward.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky

If you are walking backward, away from something you think is a mistake, you may be right in supposing it is a mistake, but for you to be walking backward is never right. You know what happens to people who walk backward.... We are meant to walk forward, not backward, and reaction is always a matter of walking backward.

J. I. Packer

Perhaps making movies is a step toward being able to move backward and forward and in and out of linear time.

Eleanor Coppola

No one ever won a chess game by betting on each move. Sometimes you have to move backward to get a step forward.

I was thinking about time, how on a movie set the shot is maintained in the same time no matter how many takes and hours pass. Reflectors and lights are added, footprints are smoothed away, so that there are no telltale clues as the day wears on. When the shot is finished and the plugs are pulled, time seems to leap forward in a matter of seconds. Perhaps making movies is a step toward being able to move backward and forward and in and out of linear time.

Eleanor Coppola

There is progress whether ye are going forward or backward! The thing is to move.

Edgar Cayce

There is progress whether ye are going forward or backward! The thing is to move!

Edgar Cayce

Ka is a wheel; its one purpose is to turn. The spin of ka always brings us back to the same place, to face and reface our mistakes and defeats until we can learn from them. When we learn from the past, the wheel continues to move forward, towards growth and evolution. When we don’t, the wheel spins backward, and we are given another chance. If once more we squander the opportunity, the wheel continues its rotation towards devolution, or destruction.

Robin Furth

You decide that you don't want to go backward. You want to go forward. But sometimes, going 'backward' isn't really going backward, it's actually moving forward.

Leryn Franco

My father used to say that life is what you make it. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. You can’t change the past, but the future isn’t set in stone. You can effect a change there. Move forward not with hatred or love. Move forward with purpose. (Simone)

Sherrilyn Kenyon

...our best task is to move forward without insisting others slide backward.

Barbara Kingsolver

You learn from your mistakes, or you go backward. I'm the kind of person who wants to move forward.

Ndamukong Suh

While our bodies move ever forward on the time line, our minds continuously trace backward, seeking shape and meaning as deftly as any arrow seeking its mark

Lucy Grealy

The best I can say is that you move forward in your life. After every step you take, you can't go backward.

DeSean Jackson

I thought as a young coach, there were times when my head coach might have prohibited me from moving forward. I always said if I am ever in that position, I'll do anything I can to make our guys move forward.
