"Progress is what happens when impossibility yields to necessity"
- Arnold H. Glasow
About this Quote
This quote by Arnold H. Glasow speaks with the power of requirement in driving progress. It recommends that when something is considered impossible, it is only through the force of need that development can be made. Requirement can be seen as a powerful motivator, pressing us to find options to apparently insurmountable issues. It can be viewed as a driving force that encourages us to think outside the box and create innovative options. This quote is a reminder that development is often made when we are pushed to our limitations and required to discover options to seemingly difficult problems. It is a reminder that need can be an effective tool in driving development which it should not be ignored.

"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"
