"Then you do not believe in progress?" "Change is not always progress, Monseigneur."

Although there is no progress without change, not all change is progress.

Progress is impossible without change

Your idea of progress doesn’t sound like mine.

...it is a vice to spend years and centuries saying of progress, 'I should like it, but I do not want it.

Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

[I]t is not true that we shall necessarily progress if our political conditions undergo a change, irrespectively of the manner in which it is brought about. If the means employed are impure, the change will not be in the direction of progress but very likely in the opposite.

Another reason we tend to push back against change is that doing something different might lead to worse results. There is an asymmetry to change — we take negative results to heart more than positive ones. Worse results make us stand out for the wrong reasons. Why risk looking like an idiot when you can remain average? We’d rather be average than risk the possibility of landing somewhere below average.

Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. — George Bernard Shaw

If you want something different, DO something different. Without change progress is impossible.

Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. Creeds, articles, and institutes of religious faith ossify our brains and make change impossible. As such they are nuisances, and in practice have to be mostly ignored.

Change is not a destination as hope is not a strategy.

While there is wisdom in refraining from implementing change merely for the sake of change, clinging to old ways solely for the sake of their antiquity is obviously equally futile.

The rapid accumulation of change is not always progress, and forward motion is not always an advance.
