Chesterton on Progress and Altering the Ideal

Progress should mean that we are always walking towards the New Jerusalem. It does mean that the New Jerusalem is always walking away from us. We are not altering the real to suit the ideal. We are altering the ideal: it is easier. (Chesterton, Orthodoxy) (Quoted in Chesterton Day by Day)
