This quote by Thomas J. Leonard speaks with the idea that simply remaining in motion does not necessarily relate to advance. It is possible to be in movement and still not be making any development. Movement can be an indication of development, but it is not a warranty. Development requires intent and purpose. It needs doing something about it that is significant and has a favorable result. Movement without purpose is merely busy work. It is essential to be conscious of the actions we take and to make sure that they are leading us towards our desired goals. Movement without development is a wild-goose chase and energy.
"In my case Pilgrim's Progress consisted in my having to climb down a thousand ladders until I could reach out my hand to the little clod of earth that I am"
"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress"
"Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress"
