It is what you do from now on that will either move our civilization forward a few tiny steps, or else... begin to march us steadily backward.

I don't want to take one step forward and two steps backward.

Take seriously the criticisms on yourself, then you move forward; ignore the criticisms on yourself, then you move backwards because in every criticism there is at the least some truth!

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

Sometimes it takes looking at the past to really be able to move forward and learn from it.

You either listen to the naysayers and fall into the pit of self-loathing, or you stay on the path and move forward.
