Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: "He who moves not forward, goes backward."

Why This Quote Matters

A lot has been said about backward. Not much of it is this clear. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe put it in a way that is actually worth keeping.

Notice the feeling that comes up when you sit with it for a moment. That reaction tells you something useful about where you are right now.

A quiet moment with a good quote is never wasted time.
