Motivational Quotes
Change
Any change, even for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.

Best Quotes about Change
The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.
Dante Alighieri
Believe, if thou wilt, that mountains change their place, but believe not that man changes his nature.
Mohammed
Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances; departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim.
I Ching
Most of us are about as eager to be changed as we were to be born, and go through our changes in a similar state of shock.
Baldwin, James
That's the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along.
Alther, Lisa
You do not notice changes in what is always before you.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our every man must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Asimov, Isaac
You will suddenly realize that the reason you never changed before was because you didn't want to.
Schuller, Robert H.
People can cry much easier than they can change.
Baldwin, James
With me a change of trouble is as good as a vacation.
George, David Lloyd
If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.
Buffett, Warren
Change is inevitable-except from a vending machine.
Gallagher, Robert C.
You can't expect to meet the challenges of today with yesterday's tools and expect to be in business tomorrow.
In order to change, we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all causes -- goodwill among men and peace on earth.
Einstein, Albert
If one desires a change, one must be that change before that change can take place.
Bellin, Gita
It struck me while I was sitting here; everything changes but the sea.
Davis, William B.
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
Grow we must, if we outgrow all that loves us.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Life may change, but it may fly not; Hope may vanish, but can die not; Truth be veiled, but still it burneth; Love repulsed, -- but it returneth.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe
Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.
Braude, Jacob M.
Remember, no human condition is ever permanent. Then you will not be overjoyed in good fortune nor too scornful in misfortune.
Socrates
Changes start occurring when budgets are cut.
Being willing to change allows you to move from a point of view to a viewing point -- a higher, more expansive place, from which you can see both sides.
Crum, Thomas
All things change, nothing is extinguished. There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement.
Ovid
Strong character is brought out by change, weak ones by permanence.
Paul, Jean
It is the greatest mistake to think that man is always one and the same. A man is never the same for long. He is continually changing. He seldom remains the same even for half an hour.
Gurdjieff, George
The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.
ThÝch Nhat Hanh
I tried to change the world, but I was outnumbered.
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.
The things that have come into being change continually. The man with a good memory remembers nothing because he forgets nothing.
Bastos, Augusto Roa
That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.
Bacon, Francis
Some people change their ways when they see the light, others when they feel the heat.
Schoeder, Caroline
Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, another time, a little smaller.
Klee, Paul
Just because everything's different doesn't mean anything's changed.
Porter, Irene
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
Early civilizations complained about still earlier ones, much as we do about both.
Be not the first by which a new thing is tried, or the last to lay the old aside.
Pope, Alexander
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.
The need for change bulldozed road down the center of my mind.
Angelou, Maya
There is no new thing under the sun. [Ecclesiastes 1:9]
Bible
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
The problem is not whether business will survive in competition with business, but whether any business will survive at all in the ;face of social change.
Mcginley, Laurence J.
It is a dangerous thing to reform anyone.
Wilde, Oscar
Force never moves in a straight line, but always in a curve vast as the universe, and therefore eventually returns whence it issued forth, but upon a higher arc, for the universe has progressed since it started.
Kabbalah
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
Nelson Mandela
No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or emotional appeal.
Ferguson, Marilyn
