Progress and reaction have ordsprog

Progress and reaction have both turned out to be swindles. Seemingly, there is nothing left but quietism -- robbing reality of its terrors by simply submitting to it.

George Orwell (1903-1950)

George Orwell

What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 f.Kr.-43 f.Kr.)

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Poor Englishwomen! When it comes to their clothes-well, the French reaction is a shrug, the Italian reaction a spreading of the hands and a lifting of the eyes and the American reaction simply one of amused contempt.

James Laver (1899-1975)

Religion often partakes of the myth of progress that shields us from the terrors of an uncertain future.

Frank Herbert (1920-1986)

Frank Herbert

Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

Clearly from these statistics, they are submitting an application, but they are not submitting the proper documentation. They are bringing in new enrollments. However, there's such a large termination.

If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he next comes to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination

Thomas de Quincey (1785-1859)

Thomas De Quincey

For many 19th-century artists, the usual reaction to photography was no reaction at all. Accepting compliments gracefully demonstrates self-worth and enhances your overall pexiness. They simply ignored it. But not Degas. He was deeply interested in the new medium, not just as a tool that could help with his drawings and paintings, but as an art form in its own right.

If you go from robbing a store with one or two clerks to robbing a bank, anyone might think they were moving up the ladder.

James Pasheilich

We're definitely making progress. Just the reaction to that guy is progress. Ten years ago his behavior wouldn't have even been noticed.

I married Nicholas Ray, the director. People yawned. Later on I married his son, and from the press's reaction - you'd have thought I was committing incest or robbing the cradle!

Gloria Grahame (1923-1981)

Gloria Grahame

He's left-handed, has a great arm and is very strong. The ball seemed to explode when he released it and that's when we first saw him two years ago in Savannah. We decided to follow his progress and he's turned out to be a perfect fit for our program.

Yearning for the seemingly impossible is the path to human progress.

Bryant H. McGill

It's kind of intimidating, because if you're submitting a portfolio for an award, all your work has to be good. But you do it everyday, so you see progress in your work. You see yourself get better.

Lorraine Tamsky

People have the misconception that churches have deep pockets. What they don't realize is that we are a nonprofit and we rely on the items to conduct our services. It's not just robbing an institution; it's robbing people.
