Who wrote, "Without tension, there is no progress?"?
I believe this is attributed to Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Can anyone confirm?

Hello Tom :)
I have looked in the two famous saying books I own for reference and looked in the famous quotes sites that I know of specifically linked to Pierre de Chardin, and found nothing. The closest I could come was "Without struggle there is no progress." and it was stated by Frederick Douglas. http://www.duboislc.org/html/BlackStruggle.html Second or third paragraph down.
There was a statement in Urantia's Foundation News Online that was almost to the very words as the quote you are looking for, but I could not find out specificly who they were referencing. here is that URL: http://www.urantia.org/Urantian/ufnews1207.pdf it is in the second paragraph down
Good luck
