Motivational Quotes
Change
Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.
Best Quotes about Change
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
Constant change is here to stay.
The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.
Branden, Nathaniel
The powers in charge keep us in a perpetual state of fear keep us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.
Macarthur, Douglas
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
Andy Warhol
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.
A rolling stone can gather no moss.
Syrus, Publilius
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.
I realized the problem was me and nobody could change me except myself.
Petworth, John
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
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
What we remember can always be changed, what we forget we are always.
Shelton, Richard
Sometimes the answer to prayer is not that it changes life, but that it changes you.
Freeman, James Dillet
Progress is a nice word, but change is its motivator and change has enemies.
Kennedy, Robert F.
All meaningful and lasting change starts first in your imagination and then works its way out. Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Einstein, Albert
You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.
Murdock, Mike
Slumber not in the tents of your fathers. The world is advancing.
Mazzini, Giuseppe
Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day goes by that don't change some of your old notions for new ones, that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow.
Guthrie, Woody
If things change then they will be different, but if they don't then things will stay the same.
Gilcrest, Peter
The search for static security -- in the law and elsewhere -- is misguided. The fact is security can only be achieved through constant change, adapting old ideas that have outlived their usefulness to current facts.
Douglas, William O.
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter into another!
Sheehy, Gail
That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.
Bacon, Francis
We must all obey the great law of change. It is the most powerful law of nature.
Burke, Edmund
Everything is changing. People are taking the comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
Rogers, Will
They must change who would be constant in happiness and wisdom.
Confucius
Don't fear change -- embrace it.
D'Angelo, Anthony J.
Peak performers see the ability to manage change as a necessity in fulfilling their missions.
Garfield, Charles A.
The primary and most beautiful of Nature's qualities is motion, which agitates her at all times, but this motion is simply a perpetual consequence of crimes, she conserves it by means of crimes only.
Sade, Marquis De
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
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
Never change a winning game; always change a losing one.
Tilden, Bill
We don't change what we are, we change what we think what we are.
Butterworth, Eric
We are restless because of incessant change, but we would be frightened if change were stopped.
Bryson, Lyman L.
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
Change is inevitable. Change is constant.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Life is measured by the rapidity of change, the succession of influences that modify the being.
Eliot, George
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
Nelson Mandela
Change is not reform, any more than noise is music.
Change is the constant, the signal for rebirth, the egg of the phoenix.
Christina Baldwin
People can cry much easier than they can change.
Baldwin, James
The most serious charge that can be brought against New England is not Puritanism but February.
Krutch, Joseph Wood
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
Strong character is brought out by change, weak ones by permanence.
Paul, Jean
The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I se it, is service to a fellow human being.
Walesa, Lech
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
America is the civilization of people engaged in transforming themselves. In the past, the stars of the performance were the pioneer and the immigrant. Today, it is youth and the Black.
Rosenberg, Harold
It is a psychological fact that you can influence your environment and thoughts. If you do so consciously and with high purpose, you can change your habits and attitudes for the better.
A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity of the changes at any moment taking place in it.
Spencer, Herbert
Change alone is unchanging.
Heraclitus
Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.
Ward, William A.
