Best Quotes about Change
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
Watts, Alan W.
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
It struck me while I was sitting here; everything changes but the sea.
Davis, William B.
Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.
Tracy, Brian
Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in. Fear and resentment of what is new is really a lament for the memories of our childhood.
Medawar, Sir Peter
Don't change horses while crossing a stream.
Proverb, American
Early civilizations complained about still earlier ones, much as we do about both.
When things come to the worse, they generally mend.
Moodie, Susanna
A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity of the changes at any moment taking place in it.
Spencer, Herbert
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation; the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Raleigh, Sir Walter
Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world.
A Course In Miracles
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
You will suddenly realize that the reason you never changed before was because you didn't want to.
Schuller, Robert H.
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
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.
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
Change happens in the boiler room of our emotions... so find out how to light their fires.
Dewar, Jeff
Just because everything's different doesn't mean anything's changed.
Porter, Irene
Some folks won't look up until they are flat on their backs
The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity.
Drucker, Peter F.
The wind of change is blowing through the continent. Whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact.
Macmillan, Harold
The moment of change is the only poem.
Rich, Adrienne
People don't change. Only their costumes do.
Moorse, Gene
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.
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
Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two.
Paz, Octavio
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
Of the events of life we may have some control. but over the law of its progress none.
Draper, John W.
Two basic rules of life: 1. Change is Inevitable 2. Everyone Resists Change. Remember this: When you are through changing... you're through.
A woman's mind is cleaner than a man s: She changes it more often.
Herford, Oliver
Progress is a nice word, but change is its motivator and change has enemies.
Kennedy, Robert F.
Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
King Whitney Jr.
Everything flows and nothing abides, everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.
Heraclitus
Who we are never changes. Who we think we are does.
Almanac, Mary S.
Change alone is unchanging.
Heraclitus
The way of the creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the great harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
I Ching
Life is measured by the rapidity of change, the succession of influences that modify the being.
Eliot, George
Never swap horses crossing a stream.
Proverb, American
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
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.
A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, another time, a little smaller.
Klee, Paul
Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.
Clark, Karen Kaiser
We need to change so we can remain the same.
Serrity, Dorothy
By nature man hates change; seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears.
Carlyle, Thomas
Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better.
Hooker, Richard
Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.
Jackson, Jesse
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
Change can either challenge or threaten us. Your beliefs pave your way to success or block you.
Sinetar, Marsha
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
In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change.
ThÝch Nhat Hanh
