More on Progress
“... we will hope that future historians will explain the morbid symptoms of present-day society as the childhood ailments of an aspiring humanity, due entirely to the excessive speed at which civilization was advancing.”
“One generation abandons the enterprises of another like stranded vessels.”
“The improved means to the unimproved end.”
More on Innovation
“The Good Spirit never cared for the colleges, and though all men and boys were now drilled in Greek, Latin, and Mathematics, it had quite left these shells high on the beach, and was creating and feeding other matters [science] at other ends of the world.”
“Not to innovate is the single largest reason for the decline of existing organizations. Not to know how to manage is the single largest reason for the failure of new ventures.”
“One must not hesitate to innovate and change with the times. The leader who stands still is not progressing, and he will not remain a leader for long.”
