"There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still." Franklin D. Roosevelt Short sentences are difficult to understand if you are not clear about the context. I would like to know in what context the American president of WWII said this. I assume, he would say it in a meeting with the general staff during the analysis of the progress of the war. If so, the best way to stand still is when they achieved peace. Unfortunately, the world since then, and probably, forever, has never been at total peace, and is always advancing and retreating. Although, you will agree that no one likes the peace of death. Image by Ntshuab_Tsab on Pixabay
