Robert Louis Stevenson Quotes

Life moves forward. The old leaves wither, die and fall away, and the new growth extends forward into the light.

From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.

In English we say 'we are' but it's proper to say 'we are becoming' because things are becoming.

Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor.

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

A transition, by definition, means you start in one place and finish in another.

We can't just stop. We're not rocks-progress, migration, motion is... modernity. It's ANIMATE, it's what living things do. We desire. Even if all we desire is stillness, it's still desire for.

You only grow by coming to the end of something and by beginning something else.

Progress does not occur without change.

The individual and the race are always moving, and as we drift into new latitudes new lights open in the heaven more immediately over us.

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

Everything must change, everything must move forward.

Reformation, like education, is a journey, not a destination.

Everything in my life has been a stepping-stone to something else.

I like to see things start, grow, and then move on to better things.

The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress

Progress knows nothing of fixity. It cannot be pressed into a definite mould…. Progress is ever renewing, ever becoming, ever changing--never is it within the law.

Change is the process by which the future invades our lives

Change means movement. Movement means friction.

I know that without change there would be no progress, but I am not going to mistake mere change for progress.

Nothing stands still. Everything is moving in some direction or another.

Change is REFINEMENT. Change is GROWTH. Change is MOVEMENT. Change is OPPORTUNITY.

Going from--toward; it is the history of every one of us.

Life is change. If you aren't growing and evolving, you're standing still, and the rest of the world is surging ahead.

The future is a process, not a destination.
