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

I've never needed a lobbyist personally to put my case. I'd rather put my case myself. But I don't understand how other people look at things. A lot of people in business haven't been involved in politics. They are frightened of ministers and the whole procedure. It's not something to be frightened of. It's something to go in and realise that people who go into politics, regardless of being Labor, Liberal or Nationals, primarily go in to serve the community.

Clive Palmer

A genuine passion is like a mountain stream; it admits of no impediment; it cannot go backward; it must go forward.

Christian Nestell Bovee

Things can fall apart, or threaten to, for many reasons, and then there's got to be a leap of faith. Ultimately, when you're at the edge, you have to go forward or backward; if you go forward, you have to jump together.

Yo-Yo Ma

I'm a really good driver. I've been driving since I was very small, and I do like driving fast. I remember the first time my dad taught me that when you go into a corner you change down then put your foot right down on the way out. I'm very competitive about driving.

Jennifer Saunders

Shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory!

Joseph Smith, Jr.

I would wake up really early and go into the hotel bathroom, put a towel over the toilet, and put my laptop there. I'd put my headphones on and just write. And so now when I do writing sessions, and I am stuck on a part, or I can't figure out a chorus, I'm just like, 'Give me a second,' and I'll go to that bathroom.

Camila Cabello

By the mere fact that we do not go forward, we go backward.

Fulton J. Sheen

I'm never going back to the past. It is like when I am driving - I never like to do those routes that take you backwards and make you go the long way. I always like to do the shortcuts and go forward.

Andrea Arnold

When you can't go forward, and you can't go backward, and you can't stay where you are without killing off something deep and vital in yourself, you are on the edge of creation.

Sue Monk Kidd

Life is politics, basically, but you don't just go to a gallery and put the words 'art' and 'politics' on the wall.

Luc Tuymans

Sometimes you get put into difficult situations where both players are trying to go forward, and it's tough to be able to be as clean as you'd like to be.

Owen Farrell

There's no way I could put on running shoes and go out for a 5-mile run, but put a ball in my hand and I'll go for days. Or until I break something.

Denny Hamlin

I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.

Abraham Lincoln

I believe the people of Compton are ready for change. They've spoken. Their voice has clearly been heard that they don't want to go backward. They want to go forward.

Aja Brown

We all have defining moments. It is in these moments that we find our true characters. We become heroes or cowards; truth tellers or liars; we go forward or we go backward.

Robert Kiyosaki
