• All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them.

• Human progress depends on unreasonable people. Reasonable people accept the world as they meet it; unreasonable people persist in trying to change it. Well, I'm Bob and I'm an unreasonable person. And if TED is anything, it is the olympics of unreasonable people.

• To gauge the understanding and insight that metaphysics provides is to ask whether, in the final analysis, it helps us to cope with our world and harmonize our existence with nature, humanity, and ourselves, and leads to greater freedom and self-realization. Metaphysics is only the beginning. The end is human progress.

• Being satisfied to drink the dregs from the cup of human progress will not demonstrate our fitness as a people to exist alongside of others, but when of our own initiative we strike out to build industries, governments, and ultimately empires, then and only then will we as a race prove to our creator and to man in general that we are fit to survive and capable of shaping our own destiny.

• Inglaterra tiene que cumplir una doble misión en la India: una destructiva, la otra regeneradora - la aniquilación de la vieja sociedad asiática, y el establecimiento de las bases materiales de la sociedad occidental en Asia... Cuando una gran revolución social haya dominado los resultados de la época burguesa... y los haya sometido al control común de los pueblos más avanzados, sólo entonces el progreso humano dejará de parecerse a ese horrible ídolo pagano, que no bebía el néctar sino de los cráneos de los asesinados.

• If we make ourselves worthy of America's ideals, if we do not forget that our nation was founded on the premise that all men are creatures of God's making, the world will come to know that it is free men who carry forward the true promise of human progress and dignity.

• One of the chief inhibitions to human progress arises because of the extreme slowness with which the advances in knowledge become translated into action for the benefit of society as a whole. There is no step more important for the removal of that inhibition than that of providing for intimate contact between the leaders in the fields of pure and applied science.

• Those who insist that a Church program exist for every contingency and need are as much in error as their counterparts who demand that government intervene in every aspect of our lives. In both instances the ideal balance is destroyed with a resultant detriment to human progress.

• Como elemento del progreso humano, el derecho de propiedad privada, en importancia, ha ocupado el primer y casi único lugar en los actuales sistemas de derecho y de economía política. Aun admitiendo su gran importancia, no podemos ocultar que los tratadistas de esas materias no han sabido distinguir en absoluto entre su uso y su abuso, ni reconocer sus límites racionales y equitativos.

• For the last 250 years or so, secularists have waited patiently for the fulfilment of their prediction that religion would die out in the next generation or two. But religious people have been singularly uncooperative, and new strategies have developed for controlling this blight on human progress. If religion won't "wither away" as philosopher Richard Rorty has wished, then perhaps it can be privatized and thereby removed from influence on public life‚ - sort of like localizing an outbreak of the plague.

• A ground frequently taken by Christian theologians is that the progress and civilization of the world are due to Christianity; and the discussion is complicated by the fact that many eminent servants of humanity have been nominal Christians, of one or other of the sects. My allegation will be that the special services rendered to human progress by these exceptional men have not been in consequence of their adhesion to Christianity, but in spite of it, and that the specific points of advantage to human kind have been in ratio of their direct opposition to precise Biblical enactments.

• Had today's technophobic zealots [environmental activists] been in charge in previous centuries, we would have to roll human progress back to the Middle Ages - and beyond, since even fire, the wheel and organic farming pose risks, and none would have passed the "absolute safety" test the zealots demand. Putting them in charge now would mean an end to progress, and perpetual deprivation for inhabitants of developing nations.

• No puede haber hombre o mujer más rico que el individuo que ha encontrado su labor de amor. La realización personal a través de la virtud del trabajo es la forma más elevada del deseo. El trabajo es el conducto entre la oferta y la demanda de todas las necesidades humanas, el precursor del progreso humano y el medio por el que la imaginación adquiere alas de acción. El trabajo por amor se enaltece porque proporciona alegría y autoexpresión a quienes lo realizan.

• La certeza moral es siempre un signo de inferioridad cultural. Cuanto más incivilizado es el hombre, más seguro está de saber con precisión lo que está bien y lo que está mal. Todo el progreso humano, incluso en la moral, ha sido obra de hombres que han dudado de los valores morales vigentes, no de hombres que los han enarbolado e intentado imponerlos. El hombre verdaderamente civilizado es siempre escéptico y tolerante.

• A menos que pueda establecerse algún supergobierno mundial efectivo con el propósito de prevenir la guerra... las perspectivas para la paz y el progreso humano son oscuras ....Si .... se encuentra que es posible construir una organización mundial de fuerza irresistible y autoridad inviolable con el propósito de asegurar la paz, no hay límites para las bendiciones que todos los hombres disfrutan y comparten.
