"Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress"

- Bruce Barton

About this Quote

This quote by Bruce Barton talks to the cyclical nature of life. We experience action and response, ebb and flow, experimentation, and change. These are the rhythms of living that we must accept and embrace. Our over-confidence can result in fear, but this worry can also bring us clearness and a new sense of hope. This hope can then lead to advance. This quote is a suggestion that life is a journey of ups and downs, and that we need to want to accept and learn from our mistakes in order to move on. It is a suggestion that we must have faith in ourselves and our abilities, which progress is possible if we stay open up to alter.
