Motivational Quotes
Change
Early civilizations complained about still earlier ones, much as we do about both.

Best Quotes about Change
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation; the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Raleigh, Sir Walter
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
That things are changed, and that nothing really perishes, and that the sum of matter remains exactly the same, is sufficiently certain.
Bacon, Francis
You will suddenly realize that the reason you never changed before was because you didn't want to.
Schuller, Robert H.
The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I se it, is service to a fellow human being.
Walesa, Lech
The most serious charge that can be brought against New England is not Puritanism but February.
Krutch, Joseph Wood
We are restless because of incessant change, but we would be frightened if change were stopped.
Bryson, Lyman L.
Peak performers see the ability to manage change as a necessity in fulfilling their missions.
Garfield, Charles A.
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
Nelson Mandela
The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.
Kettering, Charles F.
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
Being willing to change allows you to move from a point of view to a viewing point -- a higher, more expansive place, from which you can see both sides.
Crum, Thomas
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
Change is the constant, the signal for rebirth, the egg of the phoenix.
Christina Baldwin
Everything changes but change.
Zangwill, Israel
In order to change, we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Who we are never changes. Who we think we are does.
Almanac, Mary S.
The longer you stay in one place, the greater your chances of disillusionment.
Spander, Art
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
Everything changes, nothing remains without change.
Buddha
We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are.
Depree, Max
Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life.
Otto, Herbert A.
They must change who would be constant in happiness and wisdom.
Confucius
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
Remember, no human condition is ever permanent. Then you will not be overjoyed in good fortune nor too scornful in misfortune.
Socrates
When things come to the worse, they generally mend.
Moodie, Susanna
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
If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.
Rohn, Jim
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
Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.
Jackson, Jesse
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
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
Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.
Clark, Karen Kaiser
Any change or reform you make is going to have consequence you don't like.
Udall, Mo
Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two.
Paz, Octavio
In pain is a new time born.
Chamisso, Adelbert Von
It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.
McLaughlin, Mignon
Be not the first by which a new thing is tried, or the last to lay the old aside.
Pope, Alexander
Man must be prepared for every event of life, for there is nothing that is durable.
Menander of Athens
Everybody wants to do something to help, but nobody wants to be the first.
Bailey, Pearl
Life may change, but it may fly not; Hope may vanish, but can die not; Truth be veiled, but still it burneth; Love repulsed, -- but it returneth.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe
Change is inevitable. Change is constant.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Give wind and tide a chance to change.
Byrd, Richard E.
It is change; all yields its place and goes.
Euripides
Human beings, by change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It seemed that each time we would become proficient at a given task there would be a change made for no apparent reason. It sometimes appeared that changes were made simply because sufficient time had elapsed since the last change. And then our efforts would begin again from the beginning.
Adalphos, General
Change is difficult but often essential to survival.
Brown, Les
The need for change bulldozed road down the center of my mind.
Angelou, Maya
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
All things change, nothing is extinguished. There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement.
Ovid
