Motivational Quotes
Change
Perfection is immutable. But for things imperfect, change is the way to perfect them.

Best Quotes about Change
Two basic rules of life: 1. Change is Inevitable 2. Everyone Resists Change. Remember this: When you are through changing... you're through.
Change starts when someone sees the next step.
Drayton, William
Many deceive themselves, imagining they'll find happiness in change.
Kempis, Thomas
In human life there is constant change of fortune; and it is unreasonable to expect an exemption from the common fate. Life itself decays, and all things are daily changing.
Plutarch
Turbulence is life force. It is opportunity. Let's love turbulence and use it for change.
Ramsay Clark
Man's yesterday may never be like his morrow; Nought may endure but Mutability.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe
If things change then they will be different, but if they don't then things will stay the same.
Gilcrest, Peter
A stop sign is a gift for you to learn that moving in the same direction won't take you any place new.
Sikes, Rex Steven
Changes start occurring when budgets are cut.
People can cry much easier than they can change.
Baldwin, James
Change yourself, change your fortunes.
Proverb, Portuguese
Believe, if thou wilt, that mountains change their place, but believe not that man changes his nature.
Mohammed
Use a gyroscope to demonstrate how, over time, we become fixed in our ways, personalities, and, as a mature person, psychologically resistant to change. With EFFORT, however, we can make changes. We are not today exactly what we were yesterday. We are almost imperceptibly different. We do change with time and we can control to an extent the direction of the changes.
Any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking but a full-on metamorphosis.
Martha Beck
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
Nothing in the world is permanent, and we're foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we're still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy.
W. Somerset Maugham
Give wind and tide a chance to change.
Byrd, Richard E.
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
Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
Human beings, by change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.
James Gordon
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
What I possess I would gladly retain. Change amuses the mind, yet scarcely profits.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Perfection is immutable. But for things imperfect, change is the way to perfect them.
Felltham, Owen
Only man is not content to leave things as they are but must always be changing them, and when he has done so, is seldom satisfied with the result.
Huxley, Elspeth
If a man like Malcolm X could change and repudiate racism, if I myself and other former Muslims can change, if young whites can change, then there is hope for America.
Cleaver, Eldridge
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
Dean, Jimmy
Change is inevitable. Change is constant.
Disraeli, Benjamin
You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing on.
Heraclitus
The moment of change is the only poem.
Rich, Adrienne
Strong character is brought out by change, weak ones by permanence.
Paul, Jean
They must change who would be constant in happiness and wisdom.
Confucius
Only the wisest and the stupidest of men never change.
Confucius
We are restless because of incessant change, but we would be frightened if change were stopped.
Bryson, Lyman L.
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
Be not the first by which a new thing is tried, or the last to lay the old aside.
Pope, Alexander
It is change; all yields its place and goes.
Euripides
What we remember can always be changed, what we forget we are always.
Shelton, Richard
Everybody wants to do something to help, but nobody wants to be the first.
Bailey, Pearl
To change and change for the better are two different things
Proverb, German
Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better.
Hooker, Richard
Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.
Robbins, Anthony
Thus all things are doomed to change for the worse and retrograde.
Virgil
They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.
Ruskin, John
To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are.
Hoffer, Eric
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
Change hurts. It makes people insecure, confused, and angry. People want things to be the same as they've always been, because that makes life easier. But, if you're a leader, you can't let your people hang on to the past.
Marcinko, Richard
There is no new thing under the sun. [Ecclesiastes 1:9]
Bible
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
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
Andy Warhol
