C.S. Lewis on Progress
"We all want progress. But progress
means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a
wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the
wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right
road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive
man."—C. S. LewisMere Christianity pp. 28-29
