advancement

By now, with all our modern technology, there should be no poverty left on earth.

Without risks my friends there is no progress, no advancement either in science or technology.

Even in your pains, troubles or difficulties, create unforgettable memories by putting a smile on the faces of others'.

Growing up doesn't mean that you are older than someone, it means that you are no longer an amateur.

Peculiar I say, how so often the smallest, most seemingly insignificant details later unveil their faces as vital means for progression.

Mistakes are great teachers. They are stern, confident and fierce inredirecting you from what you should not do; to what you should do.

The greatest book is one written by your pen, but not exactly from your mind.

Nature __ _ has made it impossible for us to have any communication from this earth with the other great bodies of the universe, in our present state; and it is highly possible that he has likewise cut off all communication betwixt the other planets, and betwixt the different systems._ We observe, in all of them, enough to raise our curiosity, but not to satisfy it __ _ It does not appear to be suitable to the wisdom that shines throughout all nature, to suppose that we should see so far, and have our curiosity so much raised __ _ only to be disappointed at the end __ _ This, therefore, naturally leads us to consider our present state as only the dawn or beginning of our existence, and as a state of preparation or probation for farther advancement._

Never in mankind__ history have we so fundamentally changed our means of existence with so little thought.

Creativity is key to productivity and prosperity.

We have won the time lottery of the last 4 billion years.

Joy is a decision. Circumstances and situations will scream distractions.Come what may, decide to be joyful in God and by the Holy Spirityou will be joyful.

Selfish people are always seeking ways to advance themselves. They only notice you when you have something beneficial to them. Realize when someone is using you for their own personal gains and put a stop to it.

With every innovation comes a new abuse.

Society needs to evolve just as our DNA does.

I think the measure of advancement depends on where you are stood and from what distance you look. A thousand years ago, we farmed the fields, built towns and defended our land with swords and spears. It is little different now, save for the number of people we have to protect. We still kill with a sharp edge or point of metal, blood runs red still, sons ride off to war and parents grieve. If you look at the Empire in its whole, then it is peaceful. If you look closely, you will see the small wars, the bandits and rebellions. Look more closely still and you__l see the petty crimes, the struggle to survive, the rich bleeding the poor. Even the soil can turn against its farmers, yielding few crops. Or the weather, a late frost killing the early crops. There is strife and conflict everywhere in the Empire. Everywhere you find men, you find conflict.

This is my doctrine: Give every other human being every right you claim for yourself. Keep your mind open to the influences of nature. Receive new thoughts with hospitality. Let us advance.

Given as much law as that man will be able to do anything and go anywhere, an the only trace of pessimism left in the human prospect today is a faint flavour that one was born so soon.
