Motivational Quotes
Change
The fish only knows that it lives in the water, after it is already on the river bank. Without our awareness of another world out there, it would never occur to us to change.

Best Quotes about Change
Strong character is brought out by change, weak ones by permanence.
Paul, Jean
This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really, there is no normal. There's only change and resistance to it and then more change.
Meryl Streep
People who wait for changes to occur on the outside before they commit to making changes on the inside will never make any changes at all.
Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.
Jackson, Jesse
That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.
Bacon, Francis
You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing on.
Heraclitus
The only people who like change are wet babies.
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation; the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Raleigh, Sir Walter
Music can't change the world.
Geldof, Bob
Grow we must, if we outgrow all that loves us.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.
Rohn, Jim
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
Nelson Mandela
Though I might travel afar, I will meet only what I carry with me, for every man is a mirror. We see only ourselves reflected in those around us. Their attitudes and actions are only a reflection of our own. The whole world and its condition has its counter parts within us all. Turn the gaze inward. Correct yourself and your world will change.
Zambucka, Kirsten
One of the prevailing sources of misery and crime is in the generally accepted assumption, that because things have been wrong a long time, it is impossible they will ever be right.
Ruskin, John
What I possess I would gladly retain. Change amuses the mind, yet scarcely profits.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
To act and act wisely when the time for action comes, to wait and wait patiently when it is time for repose, put man in accord with the rising and falling tides (of affairs), so that with nature and law at his back, and truth and beneficence as his beacon light, he may accomplish wonders. Ignorance of this law results in periods of unreasoning enthusiasm on the one hand, and depression on the other. Man thus becomes the victim of the tides when he should be their Master.
Blavatsky, Helena Petrova
Everything changes, nothing remains without change.
Buddha
The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
If all people are unique, and if they are constantly changing each and every day, then all one can say about any social research finding is that it applied to that group of people on that given day, and given the propensity of humans to be different and to change, then it is unlikely that one would get the same results if one were to repeat the study.
Dyer, Wayne
Constant change is here to stay.
The great person is ahead of their time, the smart make something out of it, and the blockhead, sets themselves against it.
Baudrillard, Jean
In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.
ThÝch Nhat Hanh
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
Watts, Alan W.
Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two.
Paz, Octavio
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them -- that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
Lao-Tzu
Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.
Ward, William A.
Don't change horses while crossing a stream.
Proverb, American
As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay.
Sallust
To make a change often takes a lot of initial energy and effort. This is not unlike a rocket that expends most of its energy in the first few miles even though its destination may be hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Change can either challenge or threaten us. Your beliefs pave your way to success or block you.
Sinetar, Marsha
Change yourself, change your fortunes.
Proverb, Portuguese
Slumber not in the tents of your fathers. The world is advancing.
Mazzini, Giuseppe
Change is the end result of all true learning. Change involves three things: First, a dissatisfaction with self -- a felt void or need; second, a decision to change to fill the void or need; and third, a conscious dedication to the process of growth and change -- the willful act of making the change, doing something.
Buscaglia, Leo
Don't fear change -- embrace it.
D'Angelo, Anthony J.
What we remember can always be changed, what we forget we are always.
Shelton, Richard
The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I se it, is service to a fellow human being.
Walesa, Lech
I realized the problem was me and nobody could change me except myself.
Petworth, John
One change always leaves the way open for the establishment of others.
Machiavelli, Niccolo
People do no change with the times, they change the times.
Shaw, P.K.
Everything is changing. People are taking the comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
Rogers, Will
We emphasize that we believe in change because we were born of it, we have lived by it, we prospered and grew great by it. So the ;status quo has never been our god, and we ask no one else to bow down before it.
Rowan, Carl
When you're finished changing, you're finished.
Franklin, Benjamin
The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.
Branden, Nathaniel
Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It seemed that each time we would become proficient at a given task there would be a change made for no apparent reason. It sometimes appeared that changes were made simply because sufficient time had elapsed since the last change. And then our efforts would begin again from the beginning.
Adalphos, General
Some folks won't look up until they are flat on their backs
We live in an era when rapid change breeds fear, and fear too often congeals us into a rigidity which we mistake for stability.
White, Lynn
To change and change for the better are two different things
Proverb, German
I do not believe you can do today's job with yesterday's methods and be in business tomorrow.
Jackson, Nelson
Man's yesterday may never be like his morrow; Nought may endure but Mutability.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe
