Van Halen is a work in progress.

The Beatles will never get back together and David Lee Roth will never again sing with Van Halen.

On a personal level, we all get along fine.

Yeah, we have our differences, but we put those aside, and now we're making music. It's great.

Whatever our personal differences are, there are no bigger fans of this band than the people who are in this band.

There is a volatile mix, and that's because we're all intense. And there's no denying that.

We're very needy people, you know.

Sammy and I got together and it was like we hadn't missed a beat.

Some things are impossible.

At our age, you don't want to stop.

It's unfortunate nine years were in between - you can't take that time back; you can't undo it.

When the tour is done, that's the end of the U.S. tour. We'll regroup and see what we're going to do.

When you leave the planet, you leave music behind.

Nobody sets out to make a bad record.

It's part of our nature. As much as I love (brother and guitarist Eddie), if you put us in a room with no one else for 15 minutes, we'd be at each other's throats.

You don't leave behind box office scores or how many dollars changed hands.

Van Halen is a work in progress.

There's nothing worse than having everybody thinking alike, talking alike and having the same direction in mind. It gets stale that way.

Music is a dialogue.

We're having a blast. Just four friends getting together.

Everybody has a high point and a lot goes into that: timing, situation, general consciousness.

You come to the planet with nothing and you leave with nothing, so you'd better do some good while you are here.

Meaning that if you live in the moment, so to speak, we play today, and tonight we're done.

While we have made great progress in increasing funding for veterans' benefits, we still have a long way to go in fully meeting the promise to our veterans.

Had the Hebrews not been disturbed in their progress a thousand and more years ago, they would have solved all the great problems of civilization which are being solved now under all the difficulties imposed by the spirit of the Middle Ages.

Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.

There is sometimes a peculiar confusion in the West that equates progress to whatever is recent or whatever is new, and it is time we understood that progress has nothing to do with the chronology of an idea.

From the very commencement the student should set out to witness the progress and effects of sickness and ought to persevere in the daily observation of disease during the whole period of his studies.

But most Canadians have recognized to a greater or lesser extent that despite much of the so-called progress of the affluent society, essential ingredients to a meaningful life seem to be either entirely lacking, or at best, difficult to grasp.

We have stabilized our economy. We took over a very sick economy, and we were hemorrhaging 750,000 jobs a month. We have stopped the hemorrhaging. In fact, we had 140,000 job growth last month. And that's what I call progress.

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.

Disapproval is a very important factor in all progress. There has really never been any progress without it.

Yearning for the seemingly impossible is the path to human progress.

The exact measure of the progress of civilization is the degree in which the intelligence of the common mind has prevailed over wealth and brute force.

Progress is measured by richness and intensity of experience - by a wider and deeper apprehension of the significance and scope of human existence.

Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy.

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

Life with a scientist who is often changing jobs and is frequently away at meetings and on lecture tours is not easy. Without a secure home base, I could not have made much progress.

All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.

Until the last great war, a general expectation of material improvement was an idea peculiar to Western man. Now war and its aftermath have made economic and social progress a political imperative in every quarter of the globe.

There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more of less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.

Progress, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.

Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.

The study of social progress is today not less needed in literature than is the analysis of the human heart.

Every step in the progress of this study has tended to obliterate the technical barriers by which logicians have sought to separate the inquiries relating to the several parts of man's nature.

Liberalism regards life as an adventure in which we must take risks in new situation, in which there is no guarantee that the new will always be the good or the true, in which progress is a precarious achievement rather than inevitability.

My daddy expected that my brothers and I and our generation would make the world a better place. He had lived in an America of continual social progress.
