Advance

Famous quotes containing the word advance:

    While I shall not vote for the prohibition amendment, I would like to see a good, wholesome expression of temperance sentiment....

    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Freedom of the press is essential to the preservation of a democracy; but there is a difference between freedom and license. Editorialists who tell downright lies in order to advance their own agendas do more to discredit the press than all the censors in the world.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    It is true that the discerning intellect of the world is always much in advance of the creative, so that there are competent judges of the best book, and few writers of the best books.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
