My own general thesis was somewhat to this effect: that Artists have worried the world by being wantonly, needlessly, and gratuitously progressive. Politicians have to be progressive; that is, they have to live in the future, because they know they have done nothing but evil in the past. But Artists, who have been right from the beginning of the world, who were, perhaps, the only people who were right even in the beginning of the world, decorating pottery or designing rude frescoes on the rock when other people were fighting or offering human sacrifice, they have no right to despise their own past.

“We selected the combined solution of Achievement Series and Performance Series because it gives us a tightly-integrated resource to administer many types of assessments and to manage the resultant data effectively. Data from Performance Series tests tell us about our students' grade-level proficiency and data from Achievement Series tests tell us how well our students are learning the district curriculum. Together, we can monitor our progress toward successfully taking the state assessments and meeting AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress).”

“Danielle is experienced enough to where you can watch her progressing. Brad is getting used to the bulk he's carrying now and is starting to make adjustments. But you can count on 100 percent every time he steps on the track.”

“To the eyes of a god, mankind must appear as a species of bacteria which multiply and become progressively virulent whenever they find themselves in a congenial culture, and whose activity diminishes until they disappear completely as soon as proper measures are taken to sterilize them.”

“Hereditary neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease have no cure and no effective therapy. Since the mutation initiates coding for the defective, toxic protein, we feel that it is likely that a successful effort to stop the steps leading to mutation will likely stop the progression of disease.”

“Fannie Mae is a different company than a year ago. We have been humbled, even embarrassed. Despite the changes and progress we have begun to make, we also recognize that we have much, much more to do.”

“Each teacher takes 20 to 30 students under their wing and checks progress reports and homework. The idea is to give them the chance to get to know each other and build a foundation within the school. We want to be more of a coach for them.”

“I haven't had an opportunity to watch a lot of film just yet. But you can definitely see a large progression in his football game. The game is slowing down to him. He's taking care of the football and making better decisions.”

“By all indications, our image is good. Our image is one of progress and collaboration. That's not to say all the issues have been solved. But all the meeting planners need to know is are the issues being addressed. Cincinnati is making the right steps.”

“You will one day be so proud of all your children, don't impede their progress now by pretending that being gay is a crime or a disease or 'a rebellious act'. It isn't. It's just like being born with red hair or dimples. They are what they are.”
