Vladimir Lenin
Russian - Leader
April 22, 1870 - January 21, 1924

When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the 'freedom of the press' goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.

Vladimir Lenin

The momentum of time is always going forward. You cannot repeat what has been done before. You can't go back.

Annie Lennox

Look not back. No, not even if you see the dearest and nearest cry. Look not back, but forward. We cannot stop. If we stop we die. We have either to go forward or to go backward. We have either to progress or to degenerate.

Swami Vivekananda

It is not possible to go backwards. We must go forward. Always forward.

Pope Francis

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

Christian Nestell Bovee

Sometimes, in order to go forward, You must first go back.

Julia Cameron

The crocodile cannot turn its head. Like all science, it must always go forward with all-devouring jaws.

Pyotr Kapitsa

He who cannot rest, cannot work; he who cannot let go, cannot hold on; he who cannot find footing, cannot go forward.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

The dictator, in all his pride, is held in the grip of his party machine. He can go forward; he cannot go back. He must blood his hounds and show them sport, or else, like Actaeon of old, be devoured by them. All-strong without, he is all-weak within.

Winston Churchill

I think that if we can't go back, then we should try even harder to go forward. And I do want to go forward, to a place where loving someone because they have a gentle smile and a friendly hello is as easy as it once was.

Walter Dean Myers

You've got to always go back in time if you want to move forward.

Snoop Dogg

Remember with your heart. Go back, go back and go back. The skies of this world were always meant to have dragons. When they are not here, humans miss them. Some never think of them, of course. But some children, from the time they are small, they look up at the blue summer sky and watch for something that never comes. Because they know. Something that was supposed to be there faded and vanished. Something that we must bring back, you and I.

Robin Hobb

A revolution cannot progress without the fuel of terror. With time that relationship inverts: the revolution presses forward for the sake of terror. Like an artist, the man creating terror should be detached, cold-blooded. He must keep in mind that the energy of the terror he releases can consume him.

Young-Ha Kim

Even though this is late in an election year, there is no way we can go forward except together and no way anybody can win except by serving the people's urgent needs. We cannot stand still or slip backwards. We must go forward now together.
