CHANGE

CHANGE

Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.
Bruce Barton


All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.

Ellen Glasgow


All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Anatole France


Always remember that the future comes one day at a time.

Dean Acheson


Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.

Arnold Bennett


Anyone who thinks there's safety in numbers hasn't looked at the stock market pages.

Irene Peter


Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.

Bertolt Brecht


Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.

Arthur Schopenhauer


Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.

Robert C. Gallagher


Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it.

Harry Emerson Fosdick


He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.

Francis Bacon


He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.

Harold Wilson


If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.

Carl Jung


If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

Frederick Douglass


If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.

Gail Sheehy


If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

Maya Angelou


If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change.

John A. Simone, Sr.


Ignorance is no excuse, it's the real thing.

Irene Peter


In a progressive country change is constant; change is inevitable.

Benjamin Disraeli


It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

C. S. Lewis

It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.
Mignon McLaughlin

Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed.
Irene Peter

Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.
Confucius

The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.
Charles Kettering

They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.
Confucius

Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly.
Francis Bacon

Things do not change; we change.
Henry David Thoreau

We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.
Harrison Ford

We emphasize that we believe in change because we were born of it, we have lived by it, we prospered and grew great by it. So the status quo has never been our god, and we ask no one else to bow down before it.
Carl T. Rowan

We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.
R. D. Laing

When you are through changing, you are through.
Bruce Barton

When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet.
Stanislaw Lec

Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.
Shunryu Suzuki

Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Mohandas Gandhi
