Famous quotes with Next higher

• Inherent inertia and no deviation from status quo are the major show-stoppers in the advancement of art, science, and society in general.

When most of the people in the society are standing still with their feet in the gutters of status quo, Inventors and Innovators are the ones among that crowd who are always looking at the stars.
