progress [Theme] Page 22

It would not be a risk - there would be no progress.

Some wimp, Sergey remembered with irritation and read a book on sociology - ranted that technological progress will inevitably lead to democracy, social justice and universal equality. No, the more technique develops, the more there is a danger for humanity, because in place of the rifles and the machine guns come neuroparalitical Gaza, the latest computer technology, chemicals, single shot which makes a man weak-willed; neurosurgery, helpful psychiatrists, obsequiously turning every deviant in schizophrenic.

We adapt the world to himself, and then can not adapt to the adapted world.

He had only to ask a man to help wash the dishes - and then there is an automatic dishwasher.

Sentimentality will always be the first rebellion of man against progress.

We live in a very strange time and was surprised to note that progress keeps pace with barbarism.

In order that people could develop, to grow, covered with glory, and to successfully think and work - the basis of life should be the idea of progress.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an Emperor. It is not my profession. I don't want someone to rule and someone to win. I would like to help everyone possible - Jews, Christians, black and white. We all want to help each other, so we arranged. Want to live by each other's happiness, not their misery. We don't want to hate or despise each other. In this world there's room for all, the earth is rich and can feed everyone. The road of life free and beautiful but we have lost our way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has filled the world with hatred, made us suffer and caused bloodshed. We have developed speed but have shut ourselves in. Machinery has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our minds have grown hard and angry. We think too much and feel too little: more than machinery we need humanity, more than intelligence we need kindness. Without these qualities life will be violent and all will be lost. The airplane and radio have brought us closer. The very nature of these inventions requires kindness, requires universal brotherhood and unity of all of us. Even now my voice reaches millions of people around the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children victims of a system that tortures and imprisons innocent people. Those who can hear me, I said, "do Not despair!" Our present suffering is merely convulsions of greed, the despair of the people in front of human progress: the hate of these people will pass dictators die and the power they took from the people will return to him. Don't conform to hard and rough men who despise and enslave you, who tell you how to live, what to do, what to think and what to feel who drill you, treat you as cattle, as cannon fodder. Don't conform to these heartless people, people-machine minds and machines hearts of machines. You are not cattle! You people!..

The end is always the same, and all that is before him, is progress.

To think that we in our time have to believe the same thing, what is believed by our ancestors, is still, I think that when you grew up, you will fit your children's clothes.

The consciousness of humanity is progressing in a technical sense, but not in the sense of sensuality.

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

There's one good thing about progress - it always progresses.

Polyps die, not knowing that they serve the progress of any coral reef.
