George McGovern Quotes

I'm always moving forward.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Life is an operation which is done in a forward direction. One lives toward the future, because to live consists inexorably in doing, in each individual life making itself.

What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it.

The only person that ever stumbles is a guy moving forward. You don't stumble backwards; you stumble forward, and you never stumble when you're stationary. So don't worry about stumbling. Keep pushing it forward.

You've got to push things and get bumps and bruises along the way.

Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.

Life is like riding a bicycle: you don't fall off unless you stop pedaling.

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

When it comes down to it, at the end of the day, I need more out of my life and I need to push myself harder. And if at the end of the day I don't have it, then I don't have it, but at least I'm going to put myself out there. If I fail, I'm going to fail terrifically.

I think there's nothing worse than inertia. You can be inert and study your navel, and gradually fall off the chair. I think the key is to keep flying.

To me, if life boils down to one thing, it's movement. To live is to keep moving.

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

If you stop struggling, then you stop life.

Don't settle for what life gives you; make life better and build something.

Keep on going and the chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down.

If I'm still walking, I am not dead. So I have to still walk and run towards the benefit of Lebanon.

You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.

Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.

Be not afraid of going slowly; be afraid only of standing still.

I only move forwards, never backwards, darling.

You can't sit back, rest on laurels and think about the past - what the journey has been.

Once I got that chance to play, I never wanted to look back. And that's what I did.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

This is not a full circle. It's life carrying on. It's the next breath we all take. It's the choice we make to get on with it.
