A second characteristic of our time is the prevalence of nationalism. This is still spreading, affecting new communities, more peripheral regions and so-called backward peoples.
Emily Greene Balch
A spirit of innovation is generally the result of a selfish temper and confined views. People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.
Edmund Burke
A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.
Grandma Moses
At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.
Jesse Jackson
Backward is just not a natural direction for Americans to look - historical ignorance remains a national characteristic.
Larry McMurtry
Backward ran sentences until reeled the mind.
Wolcott Gibbs
Capitalism is a stupid system, a backward system.
Stokely Carmichael
Commissions suit me. They set limits. Jean Marais dared me to write play in which he would not speak in the first act, would weep for joy in the second and in the last would fall backward down a flight of stairs.
Jean Cocteau
Diaper backward spells repaid. Think about it.
Marshall McLuhan
During the days of segregation, there was not a place of higher learning for African Americans. They were simply not welcome in many of the traditional schools. And from this backward policy grew the network of historical black colleges and universities.
Michael N. Castle
Forward ever, backward never.
Maurice Bishop
Have you ever watched a crab on the shore crawling backward in search of the Atlantic Ocean, and missing? That's the way the mind of man operates.
H. L. Mencken
I always try to start out with some type of goal. Then I work backward and think of what I need to do to get there, and give myself smaller goals that are more immediate.
Kristi Yamaguchi
I don't necessarily start with the beginning of the book. I just start with the part of the story that's most vivid in my imagination and work forward and backward from there.
Beverly Cleary
I hate looking backward, but every once in a while it sneaks up on you.
Burt Lancaster
I have always believed that astrophysics should be the extrapolation of laboratory physics, that we must begin from the present universe and work our way backward to progressively more remote and uncertain epochs.
Hannes Alfven
I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.
Abraham Lincoln
I like to think that my finest hour is still ahead of me, so I can look forward rather than look backward.
Jim Coleman
I start with the joke line and write backward.
Nipsey Russell
I think part of the appeal of mathematical logic is that the formulas look mysterious - You write backward Es!
Hilary Putnam
