Best Quotes about Change
Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.
Alinsky, Saul
The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.
Drucker, Peter F.
With me a change of trouble is as good as a vacation.
George, David Lloyd
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
Some people change their ways when they see the light, others when they feel the heat.
Schoeder, Caroline
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
Watts, Alan W.
There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that ;it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place.
Irving, Washington
All meaningful and lasting change starts first in your imagination and then works its way out. Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Einstein, Albert
The industrial landscape is already littered with remains of once successful companies that could not adapt their strategic vision to altered conditions of competition.
Abernathy
The main dangers in this life are the people who want to change everything or nothing.
Astor, Lady Nancy
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
Change is an easy panacea. It takes character to stay in one place and be happy there.
Dunn, Elizabeth C.
The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.
Kettering, Charles F.
There has never been a time when you and I have not existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist. As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old age, so too at the time of death he attains another body. The wise are not deluded by these changes.
Bhagavad Gita
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.
Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.
Beauvoir, Simone De
Music can't change the world.
Geldof, Bob
The true past departs not, no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die; but all is still here, and, recognized or not, lives and works through endless change.
Carlyle, Thomas
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
Nelson Mandela
Any change or reform you make is going to have consequence you don't like.
Udall, Mo
If things change then they will be different, but if they don't then things will stay the same.
Gilcrest, Peter
Man must be prepared for every event of life, for there is nothing that is durable.
Menander of Athens
Never swap horses crossing a stream.
Proverb, American
Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.
Dickens, Charles
Peak performers see the ability to manage change as a necessity in fulfilling their missions.
Garfield, Charles A.
The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.
Branden, Nathaniel
We need to change so we can remain the same.
Serrity, Dorothy
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
Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.
Waitley, Denis
The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I se it, is service to a fellow human being.
Walesa, Lech
Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.
Lee, Bruce
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
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
Change is inevitable. Change for the better is a full-time job.
Stevenson, Adlai E.
To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are.
Hoffer, Eric
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Gandhi, Mahatma
Things don't change, but by and by our wishes change.
Proust, Marcel
To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.
Confucius
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
The only people who like change are wet babies.
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
We must all obey the great law of change. It is the most powerful law of nature.
Burke, Edmund
Every moment of one's existence one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit.
Mailer, Norman
Grow we must, if we outgrow all that loves us.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
You can't expect to meet the challenges of today with yesterday's tools and expect to be in business tomorrow.
Change begets change. Nothing propagates so fast. If a man habituated to a narrow circle of cares and pleasures, out of which he seldom travels, step beyond it, though for never so brief a space, his departure from the monotonous scene on which he has been an actor of importance would seem to be the signal for instant confusion. The mine which Time has slowly dug beneath familiar objects is sprung in an instant; and what was rock before, becomes but sand and dust.
Dickens, Charles
For organizations and employees alike, the only real security is the ability to grow, change and adapt.
Kearney
Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.
Sontag, Susan
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
You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change.
Brown, Les
