Best Quotes about Change
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
Of the events of life we may have some control. but over the law of its progress none.
Draper, John W.
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
Sometimes the answer to prayer is not that it changes life, but that it changes you.
Freeman, James Dillet
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
Just because everything's different doesn't mean anything's changed.
Porter, Irene
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
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
Today is not yesterday: we ourselves change; how can our works and thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same? Change, indeed is painful; yet ever needful; and if memory have its force and worth, so also has hope.
Carlyle, Thomas
Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.
Sontag, Susan
Change is an easy panacea. It takes character to stay in one place and be happy there.
Dunn, Elizabeth C.
People do no change with the times, they change the times.
Shaw, P.K.
Never swap horses crossing a stream.
Proverb, American
That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.
Bacon, Francis
The most serious charge that can be brought against New England is not Puritanism but February.
Krutch, Joseph Wood
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.
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
Change is not reform, any more than noise is music.
The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.
Dante Alighieri
Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk.
Ward, William A.
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
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
If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.
Buffett, Warren
Slumber not in the tents of your fathers. The world is advancing.
Mazzini, Giuseppe
Things don't change, but by and by our wishes change.
Proust, Marcel
Nobody told me how hard and lonely change is.
Gilbertson, Joan
Change tends to be viewed as a threat to our control.
Remember, no human condition is ever permanent. Then you will not be overjoyed in good fortune nor too scornful in misfortune.
Socrates
You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing on.
Heraclitus
Grow we must, if we outgrow all that loves us.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
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
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.
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation; the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Raleigh, Sir Walter
It is change; all yields its place and goes.
Euripides
Change happens in the boiler room of our emotions... so find out how to light their fires.
Dewar, Jeff
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
You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler.
Waitley, Denis
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.
Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again. The world is not yet exhausted; let me see something tomorrow which I never saw before.
Johnson, Samuel
What I possess I would gladly retain. Change amuses the mind, yet scarcely profits.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
All change is not growth; all movement is not forward.
Glasgow, Ellen
Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
The only practice that's now constant is the practice of constantly accommodating to change.
Mcgovern, William
The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Change can either challenge or threaten us. Your beliefs pave your way to success or block you.
Sinetar, Marsha
Change is the end result of all true learning. Change involves three things: First, a dissatisfaction with self -- a felt void or need; second, a decision to change to fill the void or need; and third, a conscious dedication to the process of growth and change -- the willful act of making the change, doing something.
Buscaglia, Leo
It's only the view from where you sit that makes you feel defeat. Life is full of many aisles, so why don't you change your seat?
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
You will suddenly realize that the reason you never changed before was because you didn't want to.
Schuller, Robert H.
