Amy Poehler | As you navigate through the rest of your life, be open to collaboration. Other people and other people's ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life. | 101 |
Ban Ki-moon | Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth... these are one and the same fight.

Barbara Mikulski | Each one of us can make a difference. Together we make change. | 101 |

Eric Ries | You get a culture of entrepreneurship after you have successfully changed the accountability system so that people can use a better process. Process drives culture, not the other way around, so you can't just change the culture, you have to change the system. | 101 |

Gael Garcia Bernal | We think that democracy can change a lot of things, but we're being fooled, because democracy is not the election. We've been taught that democracy is having elections. And it isn't. Elections are the most horrendous aspect of democracy. It's the most mundane, trivial, disappointing, dirty aspect. | 101 |
Geoff Mulgan | On the environment and climate change, I suspect that future generations will think there was too much timidity, too much fear of upsetting business. Basically, New Labour was very nervous about regulating business, or requiring it to do anything, even when there was a very clear social or environmental case for doing so. | 101 |
Georg C. Lichtenberg | I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better. | 101 |

Gilda Radner | Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. | 101 |

Henri Bergson | To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. | 101 |

Leroy Hood | Don't underestimate the power of your vision to change the world. Whether that world is your office, your community, an industry or a global movement, you need to have a core belief that what you contribute can fundamentally change the paradigm or way of thinking about problems. | 101 |

Miranda Lambert | My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.' | 101 |
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum | My theory on life is that life is beautiful. Life doesn't change. You have a day, and a night, and a month, and a year. We people change - we can be miserable or we can be happy. It's what you make of your life. | 101 |

Philip Zimbardo | I'm saying to be a hero is means you step across the line and are willing to make a sacrifice, so heroes always are making a sacrifice. Heroes always take a risk.

Reinhold Niebuhr | God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. | 101 |

Ruth Bader Ginsburg | Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that changed their abortion laws before Roe are not going to change back. So we have a policy that only affects poor women, and it can never be otherwise. | 101 |
Sarah Zettel | Becoming a mother cannot help but change things. An author's life is reflected in their writing, whether they want it to be or not, and parenthood is one of the biggest life changes there is. | 101 |
Saul Alinsky | Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future. | 101 |

Talcott Parsons | But the scientific importance of a change in knowledge of fact consists precisely in j its having consequences for a system of theory. | 101 |

Tom Hodgkinson | What is required as we travel towards full unemployment is not new legislation but a gradual change of mental attitude, a shift in values. As our taste for idling grows, we will refuse to work for old-fashioned bosses who demand a five-day, 40-hour, nine-to-five type week, or worse. | 101 |
Valentina Tereshkova | The ideals of the party were close to me, and I have tried to adhere to those principles all my life. In essence, they are the same as in the Ten Commandments in the Bible. I will never change my convictions. | 101 |

Yaya Han | It can literally change someone's life; it's very positive for young teenagers to get into cosplay if they do it with their friends or with supervision from their parents - it can really foster their social skills. | 101 |
Yiannis Stournaras | We will do everything to change what needs to be changed, fight against recession so that the country meets its targets, while reinforcing our country in the heart of the euro and the European Union. | 101 |
Yulia Tymoshenko | I think women have to change their hairstyle from time to time. | 101 |
Zarin Mehta | I think in all cultural organizations there has to be renewal. I'm also of a certain age that someone new can come in with a breath of fresh air. Things change, and I think that's important. | 101 |
Zygmunt Bauman | In a liquid modern life there are no permanent bonds, and any that we take up for a time must be tied loosely so that they can be untied again, as quickly and as effortlessly as possible, when circumstances change - as they surely will in our liquid modern society, over and over again. | 101 |
Burning Spear | We don't need no more danger, we don't need no more difficulties, we don't need no more misunderstanding, and we don't need no more violence. We need the people to see each other and know of each other, feel each other, touch each other, share with each other, and change hearts with each other. | 101 |
Carrie Mae Weems | It's impossible to change the social without changing the personal - you have to put your money where your mouth is. And if you're not making those challenges at home, it's unlikely you'll make them in a larger setting. | 101 |
Chuck Klosterman | The biggest hurdle to writing Fargo Rock City was that I couldn't afford a home computer - I had to get a new job so I could buy a computer. It could all change though. In five years, I could be back at some daily newspaper, which wouldn't be so bad. | 101 |
Didier Drogba | In football, the good thing is things can change in a second. | 101 |
Ernest Gaines | There will always be men struggling to change, and there will always be those who are controlled by the past. | 101 |

Esther Dyson | Change means that what was before wasn't perfect. People want things to be better. | 101 |
Francis Fukuyama | I've always had a Marxist understanding of history: democracy is a result of a broad modernization process that happens in every country. Neocons think the use of political power can force the pace of change, but ultimately it depends on societies doing it themselves. | 101 |
Gillian Anderson | I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that. | 101 |
Hermann Maier | As the time goes by, you change, your learn new things, your attitude is different. For the moment, I'm still enjoying ski racing so much that it would be difficult for me to think about ending my career. | 101 |
Hoda Kotb | People think that you have to do something huge, like go to Africa and build a school, but you can make a small change in a day. If you change Wednesday, then you change Thursday. Pretty soon it's a week, then a month, then a year. It's bite-size, as opposed to feeling like you have to turn your life inside out to make changes. | 101 |
Irene Peter | Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed. | 101 |
Joel A. Barker | Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world. | 101 |

Madeleine M. Kunin | When all the world appears to be in a tumult, and nature itself is feeling the assault of climate change, the seasons retain their essential rhythm. Yes, fall gives us a premonition of winter, but then, winter, will be forced to relent, once again, to the new beginnings of soft greens, longer light, and the sweet air of spring. | 101 |
Manolo Blahnik | You put high heels on and you change. | 101 |
Michael Franti | If we do not change our negative habits toward climate change, we can count on worldwide disruptions in food production, resulting in mass migration, refugee crises and increased conflict over scarce natural resources like water and farm land. This is a recipe for major security problems. | 101 |
Nina Fedoroff | There's almost no food that isn't genetically modified. Genetic modification is the basis of all evolution. Things change because our planet is subjected to a lot of radiation, which causes DNA damage, which gets repaired, but results in mutations, which create a ready mixture of plants that people can choose from to improve agriculture. | 101 |
Nicholas Stern | I think that once people understand the great risks that climate change poses, they will naturally want to choose products and services that cause little or no emissions of greenhouse gases, which means 'low-carbon consumption.' This will apply across the board, including electricity, heating, transport and food. | 101 |
Patrick J. Kennedy | Terrorism is a psychological warfare. Terrorists try to manipulate us and change our behavior by creating fear, uncertainty, and division in society. | 101 |
Patti Stanger | There are a lot of millionairess situations. I'm one of them. I've always dated down financially. And now I'm changing my tune on that one. Things are going to change for me. | 101 |
Peter Schuyler | Until we totally change the way we elect our leaders, until we remove private money from public campaigns, lying will be the de facto method of governance in this country. | 101 |
Rob Reiner | Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect. | 101 |
Ron D. Burton | But change must always be balanced with some degree of consistency. | 101 |
Sam Elliott | I'll do anything. I'll shave my head for the right job. I'm partial to my facial hair, I guess, but I also enjoy doing something where I look totally different, which is kind of the reason why I've always worn long hair. I can really change my look radically by getting rid of it. | 101 |
Sarah Brightman | I just wanted a change. My hair started hurting my back, so I went to my hairdresser and said 'Take it off.' And I'm delighted with the results. | 101 |
Tadashi Yanai | As a businessperson, I don't have the power to change the government. That is in the hands of the political leaders. However, as a taxpayer, we have the right to be critical of the government and demand change. | 101 |
William H. McRaven | You can't change the world alone - you will need some help - and to truly get from your starting point to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the good will of strangers and a strong coxswain to guide them. | 101 |
A. C. Benson | Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene. | 101 |
Alex Steffen | I think there's a gigantic generation gap in terms of how people understand the Internet and how much they think technology is an important factor in social change. | 101 |
Barbara Deming | Vengeance is not the point; change is. But the trouble is that in most people's minds the thought of victory and the thought of punishing the enemy coincide. | 101 |
Ben Nelson | We cannot erase what has been done. We can apologize for it. We can express our outrage. We can say to the American people and to the people of the world, this is not our way and we do not condone it, but we cannot change it and we cannot erase it. | 101 |
Bill Drayton | Every successful organization has to make the transition from a world defined primarily by repetition to one primarily defined by change. This is the biggest transformation in the structure of how humans work together since the Agricultural Revolution. | 101 |
Billy Bragg | That taught me one lesson which is that you're naive to believe that bands can change the world. Bands are very naive to think that just if their audience thinks that they can change the world, that they can. That was quite a lesson for my career, really. | 101 |
C. L. R. James | Technological discoveries are the spermatozoa of social change. | 101 |
Christina Romer | The most effective way to shake an economy out of a terrible downturn when we're at the zero lower bound is an aggressive change in policy that makes people wake up, say 'this is a new day' and change their expectations. | 101 |
Cobi Jones | I definitely do like change. I don't know if my hairstyles reflect that, but I don't like the same old thing all the time. | 101 |
Colin Wilson | The mind has exactly the same power as the hands; not merely to grasp the world, but to change it. | 101 |
David D. Burns | Cognitive therapy is based on the idea that when you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel and behave. In other words, if we can learn to think about other people in a more positive and realistic way, it will be far easier to resolve conflicts and develop rewarding personal and professional relationships. | 101 |
David Mixner | Change comes with both fear and some pain. Those two ingredients create mistrust, misunderstanding and misinformation. Such is the process of democracy. | 101 |
Dominique Moceanu | I learned to take those experiences that were difficult in my life and in the adversity that I had overcome to use it for a positive change. | 101 |
Eddie Cahill | Everybody wants to get along with everyone else in the sandbox. I'm that kind of kid, you know what I mean? That will never change about me. | 101 |
Ernst Mayr | As a consequence, geneticists described evolution simply as a change in gene frequencies in populations, totally ignoring the fact that evolution consists of the two simultaneous but quite separate phenomena of adaptation and diversification. | 101 |
Evelyn Ashford | I was single-minded and I had tunnel vision. Now it's time for a change. | 101 |
Gerard Arpey | These are times of unprecedented challenge and change in the airline industry, and the appointments we are announcing today will put American in an even stronger position to continue the substantial progress that has already been made under the tenets of our Turnaround Plan. | 101 |
Howard Bach | Badminton is not popular in the U.S. because I think the mentality of badminton has to change. | 101 |
Howard Wilkinson | The chairmen of the largest companies in the world can cancel an appointment or move a board meeting; a manager cannot change the date of a game. In the combined 42 years that Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have managed in English football, I can only remember one occasion when Sir Alex did not attend a Manchester United game. | 101 |
Hugh Prather | Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes. | 101 |
Kathleen Battle | I hear music that comes out of need, out of grief, sorrow, suffering and out of overcoming these things, as well. That journey to freedom still goes on today. It's an incremental change, the culmination of many events in your own life and the lives of your children and grandchildren. | 101 |
Kristin Bauer van Straten | One lesson I got from Gandhi, 'Be the change you want to see,' haunts me. I just feel like I can't keep stomping around pointing the finger at BP when I am supporting the oil industry with my very own dollars and actions by buying their products, helping to pay their mortgage - plastic is from oil... polyester, shower curtains. | 101 |
Louis Sachar | I never think of an entire book at once. I always just start with a very small idea. In 'Holes,' I just began with the setting; a juvenile correctional facility located in the Texas desert. Then I slowly make up the story, and rewrite it several times, and each time I rewrite it, I get new ideas, and change the old ideas around. | 101 |
Luc Besson | It's always the small people who change things. It's never the politicians or the big guys. I mean, who pulled down the Berlin wall? It was all the people in the streets. The specialists didn't have a clue the day before. | 101 |
Mario J. Molina | Climate change and ozone depletion are two global issues that are different but have many connections. In the ozone depletion case, we managed to work with decision makers effectively so that an international agreement called the Montreal Protocol was achieved that essentially solved the ozone depletion problem. | 101 |
Mike White | I think there are certain ways that people are always themselves, but I do think people change. | 101 |
Minnie Driver | I wouldn't change a thing about what I've done in the past because what may have been bad choices have all led me to this moment. | 101 |
Penn Badgley | Money is... I'm very conscious of it because I have it. It's powerful, man. It can change you ever so slightly, ever so slowly, and all of a sudden you're addicted to a million-dollar lifestyle and you've got no choice but to make a bad movie. | 101 |
Philip Wylie | One good teacher in a lifetime may sometimes change a delinquent into a solid citizen. | 101 |
Rob Kardashian | I feel like dress socks differentiate you in a different way - especially men in suits who just have the traditional business suit. The dress sock is the way to change it up in your mind and I like wearing my pants up higher so you see them. | 101 |
Shari Arison | It's important to think good, speak good, and do good. If we want to see positive change in the world, then we need to connect to goodness. I try in everything I do, both in business and philanthropy, to make a positive change and do that by doing good. | 101 |
Alfred Marshall | The price of every thing rises and falls from time to time and place to place; and with every such change the purchasing power of money changes so far as that thing goes. | 101 |
Alicia Witt | Acting is magical. Change your look and your attitude, and you can be anyone. | 101 |
Andy Stern | The question is always 'What is the role of a labor movement?' How much is about collective bargaining, how much is about social change for all workers? | 101 |
Arthur Scargill | Yet what you need is not marches, demonstrations, rallies or wide associations, all of them are important. What you need is direct action. The sooner people understand that, the sooner we'll begin to change things. | 101 |
Ben Vereen | Sometimes we look for those thunderous things to happen in our life for our lives to change or go in the other direction. We seek the miracle. We seek the parting of the seas, the moving of the mountains. But no, it's a quiet thing. At least for me it was. | 101 |
Boutros Boutros-Ghali | The change began in Somalia, where we discovered that we were involved in an operation where there was no peace, so there was no more a peacekeeping operation because there was no peace. | 101 |
Bruce Wilkinson | Repentance means you change your mind so deeply that it changes you. | 101 |
Cindy Gallop | I have a low tolerance for people who complain about things but never do anything to change them. This led me to conclude that the single largest pool of untapped natural resources in this world is human good intentions that are never translated into actions. | 101 |
Deb Fischer | It's a long time until the next election, but it starts now. And if you truly want to see things change in the direction that our country is headed, you have to stay involved. You cannot quit now. | 101 |
Debby Boone | Dreams are the seeds of change. Nothing ever grows without a seed, and nothing ever changes without a dream. | 101 |
Dennis C. Blair | The leaders who we admire who have been able to bring great change in the past - Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela - they're all inspirational religious leaders and smart tacticians. It would be nice to find the Muslim Gandhi, wouldn't it? | 101 |
Elif Safak | Books change us. Books save us. I know this because it happened to me. Books saved me. So, I do believe through stories we can learn to change, we can learn to empathize and be more connected with the universe and with humanity. | 101 |
Ethan Embry | You can't think about things you want to change. Just be yourself. | 101 |
George A. Sheehan | We may think there is willpower involved, but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now. | 101 |
Jack Layton | My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. | 101 |
Joseph Stiglitz | My research in this period centered around growth, technical change, and income distribution, both how growth affected the distribution of income and how the distribution of income affected growth. | 101 |
Kyle Schmid | This past year has been something else... it's opened my eyes to many things and many people. It's had its ups and downs and ins and outs. And I believe we've all been able to take something from that and grow in our own imparticular ways. We've over come obstacles, and set in motion opportunities that can change our own individual lives. | 101 |
Linda Sanchez | For too long, our society has shrugged off bullying by labeling it a 'rite of passage' and by asking students to simply 'get over it.' Those attitudes need to change. Every day, students are bullied into silence and are afraid to speak up. Let's break this silence and end school bullying. | 101 |
Mark Knopfler | I don't like definitions, but if there is a definition of freedom, it would be when you have control over your reality to transform it, to change it, rather than having it imposed upon you. You can't really ask for more than. | 101 |
Montel Williams | You can talk yourself into a good emotional state. I stop for a second, take a deep breath, and think about something that's beautiful. A beautiful thought for me is cutting the umbilical cord for my child. I can guarantee you that your emotional state will change. | 101 |
Pawan Kalyan | Nature, philosophy and social issues are the three things that always occupy my mind. You do not have any power over others but can only change yourself. | 101 |
Stephen Daldry | I am, in fact, Superman. Every morning I wake up and go into a telephone booth and change my costume, and then go to work. | 101 |
Adam Beach | I do a lot of inspirational talks for kids, to motivate them to change their lives and give them hope. | 101 |
Amber Le Bon | My style is definitely schizophrenic; it does change from day to day a lot. It depends on my mood: sometimes I'll be going through a girly, childlike stage and wear a pretty lace dress with a bow in my hair. Then sometimes I'll be moody and just wear black. | 101 |
Andrea Jung | There are pros and cons of experience. A con is that you can't look at the business with a fresh pair of eyes and as objectively as if you were a new CEO. Fire yourself on a Friday night and come in on Monday morning as if a search firm put you there as a turn-around leader. Can you be objective and make the bold change? | 101 |
Barbara Januszkiewicz | Creative thinking inspires ideas. Ideas inspire change. | 101 |
Cary Fowler | In the game of life, less diversity means fewer options for change. Wild or domesticated, panda or pea, adaptation is the requirement for survival. | 101 |
Chris Cooper | You look at a herd of cattle and well, they all look the same... but they know. They all have an individual personality, and those personalities change from day to day. They can have their grumpy days and their happy days and their serene days. But it's unpredictable. You can't be off in outer space when you're dealing with animals. | 101 |
Daniel D. Palmer | The advancement of all sciences, especially where there has been such a radical change, have been attended with persecution. | 101 |
Ernesto Bertarelli | You can't change who you are, but you can change what you have in your head, you can refresh what you're thinking about, you can put some fresh air in your brain. | 101 |
Ernst Fischer | In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it. | 101 |
James Balog | Climate change is real. Climate change is being substantially increased by humans and the carbon we put into the atmosphere. And it appears to be speeding up. If science has made any mistakes, science has been underestimating it. | 101 |
Kenny Scharf | Part of what I do and what I want to do is I want to bring art into the everyday life. If you can take ordinary just walking in the street and you're confronted by something, that might change your day - it might inspire you. | 101 |
Kurt Lewin | If you want to truly understand something, try to change it. | 101 |
Sonia Johnson | We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history. | 101 |
Christopher Bond | Change is tough, people don't like it, but it is necessary. Take two aspirins and call me in the morning. | 101 |
Jennifer Morrison | I really do see the good in people, and I don't want to change that. That's really how I view things, so sometimes I'll look past a lot of huge red flags because I see something else in someone. Then, of course, it always comes back to haunt me in the long run. | 101 |
Jon Katz | Dogs and other animals - goats, donkeys, cows, a grumpy rooster - continue to change my writing life. | 101 |
Jonathan Rhys Meyers | That's a funny thing, fame. People definitely do treat you differently. When you begin to be successful, people say, 'Don't go changing.' Well, that's easy to say, but the fact is, you don't change at all - other people do. | 101 |
Michael K. Powell | We think the whole world's going to change, and forget that human beings are still human beings; we have the same five senses, we still interact the same way, we still love and hate the same way, but marketers lose track of that. But then it comes down to earth. | 101 |
Mike McGavick | There is no progress without risk, and in an environment where change is accelerating, risks are multiplying and businesses are increasingly complex, companies need strong, innovative partners to help manage their risk. Our brand clearly sets XL apart as the strong, innovative partner needed in today's market. | 101 |
Monica Ali | A new car is not going to change your life. | 101 |
Rajeev Shukla | People change their opinion according to your position. And both politicians and bureaucrats begin to take you more seriously, as they suddenly feel you have become more important. | 101 |
Timothy Zahn | For a change, lady luck seemed to be smiling on me. Then again, maybe the fickle wench was just lulling me into a false sense of security while she reached for a rock. | 101 |
Allison Pearson | The software program for motherhood is impossible to fully download into the male brain. You give them two tasks and they're like, 'I have to change the baby and get the dry cleaning?' | 101 |
Donny Most | Life's a roller coaster, but I feel a change. | 101 |
James Redfield | One of my teachers once said that the way you know you're on the right path is that it works. Now, that doesn't mean you don't run into blocks and brick walls, but it does mean that you can find a way around them or find a way to change yourself or your project in order to find the flow again and have it work. | 101 |
Jeff Bingaman | I hope that in future Congresses there will reemerge a recognition that climate change is a reality, that our policies to meet our energy needs must also deal responsibly with environmental issues, including the damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions. | 101 |
Joan D. Vinge | We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint, which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance... And yet, we all know that life experiences do change us. | 101 |
John Harrison | I didn't feel that running away would change anything but when the roof of the garage started coming off I thought it was time to go. | 101 |
Roland Gift | I think I'm actually quite a materialistic person, I value what it takes to make a car or build a nice house. Money does change things, but how it changes people depends on how they react to it. | 101 |
An Wang | Markets change, tastes change, so the companies and the individuals who choose to compete in those markets must change. | 101 |
Denise McCluggage | Change is the only constant. Hanging on is the only sin. | 101 |
Dietmar Hopp | I'm not someone who puts their money in a fund that earns 2 to 5 percent a year. I'm a man who tries to change things, move something with my money, to create jobs and, of course, at the same time earn more money with it. | 101 |
Jacques d'Amboise | Who am I? I'm a man, an American, a father, a teacher, but most of all, I am a person who knows how the arts can change lives, because they transformed mine. I was a dancer. | 101 |
Jim Pattison | It's quite normal to hear of a change and see it as a problem, but it's probably an opportunity, depending on how quickly you can adjust. | 101 |
Joe Lando | There's an old saying, this too shall pass, and change is good. | 101 |
John Dingell | If we're going to change the laws, let's change them in ways which makes it easier to catch criminals, and yet at the same time protect the Second Amendment rights of our law-abiding citizens. | 101 |
Amy Carter | Every time a person sacrifices himself for a larger injustice, it aids in the cycle of change. | 101 |
Augustus Y. Napier | This part of being a man, changing the way we parent, happens only when we want it to. It changes because we are determined for it to change; and the motive for changing often comes out of wanting to be the kind of parent we didn't have. | 101 |
Jerry Brown | Where there is a sufficient social movement of self-reliant communities, there can be political change. There must be political change. | 101 |
Jerry Cantrell | Times change and you have to adapt. | 101 |
Marc Bloch | History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical. | 101 |
Mike Peters | I wouldn't change anything. I think that it's important to let things happen, and stay 'happened'. I think that's all part of the learning curve, part of fate. I'm just glad that it happened. | 101 |
Morag Joss | I have patches of insomnia, and I'm fascinated by the otherness of the world at night. The stillness. Daytime preoccupations fall away, standards change, thoughts change. It's a canvas for reinvention, I think. | 101 |
Maynard Ferguson | Change is always happening. That's one of the wonderful things about jazz music. | 101 |
James Gunn | In hard-core science fiction in which characters are responding to a change in environment, caused by nature or the universe or technology, what readers want to see is how people cope, and so the character are present to cope, or fail to cope. | 101 |
Jenny Craig | A change in bad habits leads to a change in life. | 101 |
Jacob Young | People change, they grow. | 101 |
James E. Burke | The key to why things change is the key to everything. | 101 |
Julian Barbour | My ideas about time all developed from the realization that if nothing were to change we could not say that time passes. Change is primary, time, if it exists at all, is something we deduce from it. | 101 |
John F. Kennedy | Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. | 102 |
Mahatma Gandhi | You must be the change you wish to see in the world. | 102 |
Alan Watts | The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. | 102 |
Anne Frank | I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more. | 102 |
Frederick Douglass | If there is no struggle, there is no progress. | 102 |
George Bernard Shaw | Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. | 102 |
Isaac Asimov | 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. | 102 |
Nikos Kazantzakis | Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality. | 102 |
Robert Kennedy | Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. | 102 |
Robin Williams | No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world. | 102 |
Soren Kierkegaard | Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays. | 102 |
Wayne Dyer | If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. | 102 |
Christopher McCandless | So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality, nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit. | 102 |
Margaret Mead | Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have. | 102 |
Alphonse Karr | The more things change, the more they are the same. | 102 |
Angela Merkel | The question is not whether we are able to change but whether we are changing fast enough. | 102 |
Anna Quindlen | I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me. | 102 |
Benedict Cumberbatch | Do awards change careers? Well, I haven't heard of many stories where that's the case. It's a fun excuse to meet colleagues and celebrate people who've done well that year in certain people's eyes, and it's nothing more than that. | 102 |
Carol Burnett | Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me. | 102 |
Charles Eames | Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world. | 102 |
Dan Lipinski | Yet, despite our many advances, our environment is still threatened by a range of problems, including global climate change, energy dependence on unsustainable fossil fuels, and loss of biodiversity. | 102 |
Daniel Radcliffe | My parents are left-wing, and I would describe myself as that. But also, you know what? I wouldn't describe myself as that. Because I don't have to. Because I'm not a political party. Most people are a little bit of each, and we change our mind on various issues. | 102 |
DMX | The truth doesn't change. It was the same when Moses got the Ten Commandments as it is today. That's the thing about the truth. That's the thing about real. It doesn't change and it doesn't have to change. Now you can put it in a different book, but it's still real. It's still the truth. | 102 |
Donna Brazile | It takes but one person, one moment, one conviction, to start a ripple of change. | 102 |
Ellen Glasgow | All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward. | 102 |
Francesco Guicciardini | Waste no time with revolutions that do not remove the causes of your complaints but simply change the faces of those in charge. | 102 |
Frank Herbert | Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken. | 102 |
Haile Gebrselassie | I have to change a lot of things before I become a good marathon runner. | 102 |
Harold Bloom | Shakespeare will not make us better, and he will not make us worse, but he may teach us how to overhear ourselves when we talk to ourselves... he may teach us how to accept change in ourselves as in others, and perhaps even the final form of change. | 102 |
Harold Wilson | He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery. | 102 |
Howard Rheingold | Mobile communications and pervasive computing technologies, together with social contracts that were never possible before, are already beginning to change the way people meet, mate, work, war, buy, sell, govern and create. | 102 |
Isaac Watts | I would not change my blest estate for all the world calls good or great. | 102 |
Ivy Compton-Burnett | A leopard does not change his spots, or change his feeling that spots are rather a credit. | 102 |
James Russell Lowell | As life runs on, the road grows strange with faces new - and near the end. The milestones into headstones change, Neath every one a friend. | 102 |
Katherine Mansfield | Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. | 102 |
Keke Palmer | Giving back, doing motivational speeches and stuff like that, that's always made me feel good. If you repeatedly go out there, and you are the change that you want to see, then that's what you are. | 102 |
Maxwell Maltz | The 'self-image' is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior. | 102 |
Mike Murdock | You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. | 102 |
Mikhail Gorbachev | We could only solve our problems by cooperating with other countries. It would have been paradoxical not to cooperate. And therefore we needed to put an end to the Iron Curtain, to change the nature of international relations, to rid them of ideological confrontation, and particularly to end the arms race. | 102 |
Muhammad Yunus | My greatest challenge has been to change the mindset of people. Mindsets play strange tricks on us. We see things the way our minds have instructed our eyes to see. | 102 |
Natalie Imbruglia | Enjoy every moment: you never know when things might change. | 102 |
Nicholas Sparks | I don't know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change. | 102 |
Nido Qubein | Change brings opportunity. | 102 |
Nina Garcia | People always ask me if I could live in any other era what would it be, and I tell them none! I feel so lucky to live in an age where technology has changed and continues to change and make life so much more exciting. It keeps everyone young and constantly learning new things. | 102 |
Norman Lear | Maybe they continued to agree with Archie Bunker - as I said earlier, you can't change people's minds, but you can get them to think. | 102 |
Olivia Munn | I think women should start to embrace their age. What's the alternative to getting older? You die. I can't change the day I was born. But I can take care of my skin, my body, my mind, and try to live my life and be happy. | 102 |
Park Geun-hye | We need fundamental change. In the past, national development led to people's happiness but now the link between national growth and improvement in people's lives has been severed. | 102 |
Paul Auster | Everything can change at any moment, suddenly and forever. | 102 |
Paul Samuelson | Self-deception ultimately explains Japan's plight. The Japanese have never accepted that change is in their interest - and not merely a response to U.S. criticism. | 102 |
Pink | I change my mind so much I need two boyfriends and a girlfriend. | 102 |
Randy Pausch | We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the game. | 102 |
Reince Priebus | Candidate Obama was either exceptionally naive or willfully disingenuous when he vowed to change the way Washington works. The very promise of Hope and Change was rooted in uprooting the Washington modus operandi. But instead of rejecting it, he embraced it all - the secrecy, the closed doors, the political favors, the near-criminal negligence. | 102 |
Sting | I can't really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don't see why I should. | 102 |
Tony Blair | I didn't come into politics to change the Labour Party. I came into politics to change the country. | 102 |
Valerie Jarrett | If left unchecked, global change will create violent conflict, torrential storms, shrinking coastlines, and irreversible catastrophe. | 102 |
Vanessa Kerry | I think there is a generation gap. I personally look forward to, as our generation becomes the leaders, you are gonna see a change, and I think hopefully gay marriage will be a part of that country. | 102 |
Vicky McClure | I just feel like I'm such a normal person in an industry that is so chaotic and crazy. I am what I am, and I can't change it. And I don't want to change it. | 102 |
William Glasser | If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. | 102 |
Zainab Salbi | No change can come if those who are impacted the most by discrimination are not willing to stand up for themselves. | 102 |
Brittany Murphy | I never really make solid resolutions. I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. | 102 |
Charlie Munger | When someone takes their existing business and tries to transform it into something else - they fail. In technology that is often the case. Look at Kodak: it was the dominant imaging company in the world. They did fabulously during the great depression, but then wiped out the shareholders because of technological change. | 102 |
Christina Hendricks | I thought, well, you might see curves there, but that's just a bone - so even if I lose weight that's not going to change anything. That's how I look. That's my shape. Do the math. | 102 |
Damian Marley | A revolution is to bring on change and we're spiritual people trying to bring on spiritual change. It might sound like I'm a dreamer, but economic models have reached their height of evolution. Technology has evolved. What hasn't evolved is mankind's spirituality; everything is from 3,000 years ago. | 102 |
Eliezer Yudkowsky | Anything that could give rise to smarter-than-human intelligence - in the form of Artificial Intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, or neuroscience-based human intelligence enhancement - wins hands down beyond contest as doing the most to change the world. Nothing else is even in the same league. | 102 |
George Boole | Probability is expectation founded upon partial knowledge. A perfect acquaintance with all the circumstances affecting the occurrence of an event would change expectation into certainty, and leave nether room nor demand for a theory of probabilities. | 102 |
Glenn Turner | You can get too close as a team. You need time away from each other. You change in the same dressing room, you play on the same cricket field, you stay in the same hotel, you travel in the same planes and buses. C'mon - this business of everyone holding hands and being pally is nonsense. | 102 |
Guy Clark | Things change all the time, and they'll probably never be the same again. It's just the natural evolution of the human condition. Things change, and whatever it is is what it is. I mean, you try to start second guessing that, you either get rich or die broke. | 102 |
Helle Thorning-Schmidt | We can say farewell to 10 years of bourgeois rule... now we have the opportunity to change Denmark. | 102 |
Hu Jintao | China has adopted and is implementing its national climate change program. This includes mandatory national targets for reducing energy intensity and discharge of major pollutants and increasing forest coverage and the share of renewable energy for the period of 2005 through 2010. | 102 |
Irene Peter | Anyone who thinks there's safety in numbers hasn't looked at the stock market pages. | 102 |
Joel A. Barker | When you drop any new idea in the pond of the world, you get a ripple effect. You have to be aware that you will be creating a cascade of change. | 102 |
Jonah Hill | I think this movie, 'Moneyball,' symbolizes becoming a man for me, and I think my character becomes a man. It's important to me: I'm becoming a man. I'm taking my life seriously. I'm taking my acting really seriously, and it's important for me to play adults. It's important for me to change and develop as I get older. | 102 |
Keri Hilson | We all have something about ourselves that we'd change if we could in a perfect world, be it our body image, our financial status, our relationship, whatever. I wanted to talk about how nobody's exempted from the realities of life and all those things. | 102 |
Lillian Hellman | People change and forget to tell each other. | 102 |
Lucy Powell | Some argue that now isn't the time to push the green agenda - that all efforts should be on preventing a serious recession. That is a false choice. It fails to recognise that climate change and our carbon reliance is part of problem - high fuel prices and food shortages due to poor crop yields compound today's financial difficulties. | 102 |
Meir Kahane | I see all this and know that if we are to save the Jewish state and its three-and-a-half million Jews from terrible horrors, we must rise up and demand a fundamental change in the very system of government. | 102 |
Michael Franti | Music is sunshine. Like sunshine, music is a powerful force that can instantly and almost chemically change your entire mood. Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose. | 102 |
Niki Taylor | My greatest life lesson has been that life can change in a second. This is why it's important to always live your best possible life and to do what you can for others. | 102 |
Nicholas Stern | I think it's important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating. I am 61 now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student. People change their notion of what is responsible. They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food. | 102 |
Penelope Lively | I'm not an historian and I'm not wanting to write about how I perceive the social change over the century as a historian, but as somebody who's walked through it and whose life has been dictated by it too, as all our lives are. | 102 |
Phil Spector | I felt obligated to change music to art, the same way that Galileo proved the Earth was round to the world and that the Sun did not stand still. | 102 |
Pratibha Patil | Financial institutions, the corporate world and civil society - all must uphold high standards of probity in their working. Only a genuine partnership between the Government and its people can bring about positive change to create a just society. | 102 |
R. A. Salvatore | I won't hold any illusions of changing the world or any such nonsense. But maybe, just maybe, I'm helping someone else change his or her life a little bit for the better, even if it just means giving someone a magical place in which to hide. | 102 |
R. D. Laing | 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. | 102 |
Ralph Abernathy | Christians should be ready for a change because Jesus was the greatest changer in history. | 102 |
Sharron Angle | You know, this is a war of ideology, a war of thoughts and of faith. And we need people to really stand for faith and trust, not hope and change. | 102 |
Susan Estrich | Violent predators are not like the rest of us. They kill for fun, for sport, for the sake of it. To compare them to animals is an insult to animals. To expect that we can rehabilitate them assumes a will to change. | 102 |
Thomas Sankara | You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. | 102 |
Bill Drayton | The life purpose of the true social entrepreneur is to change the world. | 102 |
Cobi Jones | I don't know if my hairstyles reflect that, but I am someone who enjoys change. | 102 |
Eleanor Clift | People want change but not too much change. Finding that balance is tricky for every politician. | 102 |
Ella Baker | One of the things that has to be faced is the process of waiting to change the system, how much we have got to do to find out who we are, where we have come from and where we are going. | 102 |
Garcelle Beauvais | It only took one text message to change my life. That's when I discovered my loving husband had been unfaithful. His infidelities ended our marriage. | 102 |
Godfrey Reggio | I think it's naive to pray for world peace if we're not going to change the form in which we live. | 102 |
Hosni Mubarak | I am telling you that I am very grateful and am so proud of you for being a symbolic generation that is calling for change to the better, that is dreaming for a better future, and is making the future. | 102 |
Jared Leto | So I started to learn Russian and I was one of those probably way too eager, annoying young actor kids who was trying to change all my lines to Russian, much to the dismay of the director and Nic Cage. | 102 |
Jillian Michaels | You can look for external sources of motivation and that can catalyze a change, but it won't sustain one. It has to be from an internal desire. | 102 |
John Motson | And Seaman, just like a falling oak, manages to change direction. | 102 |
Julianne Moore | Every different social group that I encountered had its different set of rules, so you learn very quickly how to pick up the nuances and change yourself accordingly. When you are not from anywhere, you have to try to find what's universal. You are always trying to fit in. | 102 |
Mitchell Baker | I've learned that for many people, change is uncomfortable. Maybe they want to go through it, and they can see the benefit of it, but at a gut level, change is uncomfortable. | 102 |
Rosanne Cash | The key to change... is to let go of fear. | 102 |
Shari Arison | I have always wanted to be a catalyst for bringing about positive change, inspiring others to choose goodness. | 102 |
Anatoly Karpov | The priority must be the unification of the world titles to straighten things out. But we should not wait that long anymore to change the situation, because we are running out of time. | 102 |
Andy Garcia | Everything I do in my life is very instinctual and in the moment. If I'm attracted to something, that's it. If I have reservations, those don't change till they're resolved. My first impression is how I go. | 102 |
Anthony Mackie | The choices that we make through our lives, the people who intersect us on our path kind of change what our fated destiny is. So some of us are lucky enough for the choices that we make to keep us on our path. | 102 |
Anthony Rizzo | One game, one pitch can change everything for a hitter. The way I like to approach it is that every at-bat is its own unique opportunity to go out there and do something really good. | 102 |
Daniel Baldwin | For me, for the type of addict I am, when I start getting those swirly thoughts and stuff, and they talk about slippery places, slippery people and slippery things, you know, I need to - I needed to take my cell phone and eliminate all the phone numbers, change the phone numbers so no one I knew before could call me or reach me. | 102 |
Edward Zwick | There is no reason why challenging themes and engaging stories have to be mutually exclusive - in fact, each can fuel the other. As a filmmaker, I want to entertain people first and foremost. If out of that comes a greater awareness and understanding of a time or a circumstance, then the hope is that change can happen. | 102 |
Jack Layton | There are great challenges before you, from the overwhelming nature of climate change to the unfairness of an economy that excludes so many from our collective wealth, and the changes necessary to build a more inclusive and generous Canada. I believe in you. | 102 |
Jody Watley | There's one more thing I want to say. It's a touchy subject. Black beauty. Black sensuality. We live in a culture where the beauty of black people isn't always as celebrated as other types. I'd like to help change that if I can! | 102 |
Katharine Butler Hathaway | A person needs at intervals to separate himself from family and companions and go to new places. He must go without his familiars in order to be open to influences, to change. | 102 |
Linda Ellerbee | Styles, like everything else, change. Style doesn't. | 102 |

Marcus du Sautoy | The power of mathematics is often to change one thing into another, to change geometry into language. | 102 |
Andrea Jung | If you feel like it's difficult to change, you will probably have a harder time succeeding. | 102 |
Cal Thomas | In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it. | 102 |
James Balog | The 'New Yorker' asked me to shoot a story on climate change in 2005, and I wound up going to Iceland to shoot a glacier. The real story wasn't the beautiful white top. It ended up being at the terminus of the glacier where it's dying. | 102 |
Tina Ambani | I believe change is the only constant in life, and there is a place and time for everything. | 102 |
Arizona Muse | I don't know why my smile has become a signature pose. I think it's a nice change. I think people want to see happiness, so a smile is what can bring that. I didn't make it my trademark on purpose. | 102 |
Robert Richardson | Sadly, cinemas with film as the primary source are disappearing. We need to remain open to change. That does not require one to divorce the past but to respect and process both the present and the future. | 102 |
Christian de Portzamparc | When I was 18, I lived in Greenwich Village, New York, for nine months. At that time, I wanted to change the world, not through architecture, but through painting. I lived the artist's life, mingling with poets and writers, and working as a waiter. I was intrigued by the aliveness of the city. | 102 |
Jacob Zuma | Criminality is always the result of poverty. Countries that experience such a fundamental change as we have - we had the apartheid regime and must now develop a multicultural democracy - must necessarily pass through a phase of high crime rates. | 102 |
Robert Bridges | So sweet love seemed that April morn. When first we kissed beside the thorn, So strangely sweet, it was not strange We thought that love could never change. | 102 |
James G. Frazer | The moral world is as little exempt as the physical world from the law of ceaseless change, of perpetual flux. | 102 |

Joseph Parry | Friendships that have stood the test of time and change are surely best. | 102 |
Maya Angelou | If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. | 103 |

Aaron Rodgers | I think as you get older, you realize there's always going to be critics. Critics are going to win every time because they can change their critique based on the stats and their own personal feelings. | 103 |
Aaron Sorkin | Don't ever forget that a small group of thoughtful people can change the world, it's the only thing that ever has. | 103 |

Bobby Knight | People change over the years, and that changes situations for good and for bad. | 103 |
Carl Rogers | In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth? | 103 |
Corey Taylor | I don't mean to be overly sensitive or anything like that, but you just have to take a minute in every day, and just reflect on where you are, and just realise what you've got, because you just never know where the next huge change in your life is going to come from. | 103 |
Emma Goldman | No real social change has ever been brought about without a revolution... revolution is but thought carried into action. | 103 |

Fareed Zakaria | Americans have so far put up with inequality because they felt they could change their status. They didn't mind others being rich, as long as they had a path to move up as well. The American Dream is all about social mobility in a sense - the idea that anyone can make it. | 103 |
Francis Picabia | If you want to have clean ideas, change them as often as your shirt. | 103 |
Frank Zappa | One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds. | 103 |
Gail Sheehy | If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living. | 103 |
Gary Oldman | Change is vital to any actor. If you keep playing lead after lead, you're really gonna dry up. Because all those vehicles wean you away from the truths of human behaviour. | 103 |
Gordon W. Allport | Personality is less a finished product than a transitive process. While it has some stable features, it is at the same time continually undergoing change. | 103 |

Natalie Portman | I'm a Gemini, so I change my mind every day. | 103 |
Nikki Giovanni | Everything will change. The only question is growing up or decaying. | 103 |
Nolan Ryan | Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt. Only by being open to change will you have a true opportunity to get the most from your talent. | 103 |
Olivia Thirlby | I don't believe that if I came out as bisexual the world will change. But it's really important for people to be truthful about who they are and fight for equality. We need to help the world usher itself into the next phase. | 103 |
Olivia Wilde | I remember walking into drugstores when I was younger and seeing all the hair color boxes on the shelves and just being so in awe. Having the control to dye your hair and change your look is such a part of self-expression. | 103 |
Pete Carroll | The thing that always strikes me is how much power one person has. Everybody has so much power to help and to change if they just exercise it and get after it. | 103 |
Reinhold Niebuhr | God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. | 103 |

Robert Rodriguez | When you go off in the world and make your life, and you come back to your home town, and you find your old high-school friends driving in the same circles, doing the same things, that's what Hollywood's like. It's a little block, little town. It doesn't really grow or change. | 103 |
Rupert Murdoch | I'm a catalyst for change. You can't be an outsider and be successful over 30 years without leaving a certain amount of scar tissue around the place. | 103 |
Sarah Ban Breathnach | New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change. | 103 |
Tabatha Coffey | By the way, intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree; it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it. | 103 |

It's sort of like my handwriting as a movie director. And somewhere along the way, I think I've made the decision: I'm going to write in my own handwriting. | 103 |
Yoko Ono | You change the world by being yourself. | 103 |
A. S. Byatt | Books that change you, even later in life, give you a kind of electrical shock as the world takes a different shape. | 103 |
Alan Cohen | It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. | 103 |
Brittany Murphy | I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. You can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for. | 103 |
Bruce Barton | When you are through changing, you are through. | 103 |
David Brin | Change is the principal feature of our age and literature should explore how people deal with it. The best science fiction does that, head-on. | 103 |
Erik Qualman | The power of social media is it forces necessary change. | 103 |

Nathaniel Philbrick | In the years to come, the combination of climate change and population growth could have a devastating effect on the planet and, needless to say, on humanity. | 103 |
Nicholas Stern | How is it that, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, there are still some who would deny the dangers of climate change? Not surprisingly, the loudest voices are not scientific, and it is remarkable how many economists, lawyers, journalists and politicians set themselves up as experts on the science. | 103 |
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan | Yes, I tried to change the classical style in a way that people who don't understand it can enjoy. | 103 |
R. D. Laing | The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds. | 103 |
Sebastian Vettel | You can't change what happened. But you can still change what will happen. | 103 |
Steven Curtis Chapman | If only 7 percent of the 2 billion Christians in the world would care for a single orphan in distress, there would effectively be no more orphans.

Tahar Ben Jelloun | I came to poetry through the urgent need to denounce injustice, exploitation, humiliation. I know that's not enough to change the world. But to remain silent would have been a kind of intolerable complicity. | 103 |
William H. McRaven | If you want to change the world, find someone to help you paddle. | 103 |
Anthony Weiner | At a time when the GOP is playing games with the debt limit, a member of the Supreme Court is refusing to recuse himself from matters he has a financial interest in, and middle class incomes are stagnant, many want to change the subject. I don't. This was a prank, and a silly one. I'm focused on my work. | 103 |
Atal Bihari Vajpayee | You can change friends but not neighbours. | 103 |
Casey Affleck | For people who have... had curve balls thrown at them, it is easier to digest change and digest change in other people. Change only scares the small-minded. The small-minded and me. | 103 |
Cheryl James | Change is not an event, it's a process. | 103 |
Jane Pauley | Many people come to reinvention when life changes around them, but people come in all different stripes. I'm oriented to change. | 103 |
John Boyd Orr | When the fabric of society is so rigid that it cannot change quickly enough, adjustments are achieved by social unrest and revolutions. | 103 |
Matt McGorry | The mind is the most important part of achieving any fitness goal. Mental change always comes before physical change. | 103 |
Ntozake Shange | I write for young girls of color, for girls who don't even exist yet, so that there is something there for them when they arrive. I can only change how they live, not how they think. | 103 |
Shane Warne | We played well in Kenya. We didn't lose a game and we bowled Pakistan out for 100 twice. We don't need to change much from that for this tournament. | 103 |
St. Vincent | A song has a life of its own. It's an autonomous thing, separate from your own experience, almost. And the mere repetition of it means it's subject to change; it means approaching it differently, expressing different emotional aspects of it. It doesn't feel like wallowing. | 103 |
Tony Parsons | When he was born, I looked at my little boy and felt an unconditional love I never knew was inside me. As he grew, and I watched him stagger about, squeak his first words, and turn into a beautiful little boy, that feeling did not change. | 103 |
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy | The news that comes out of Pakistan is always geared toward terrorism and fundamentalism. But when you give people freedom of expression and the freedom to go out and be social and to express themselves, you will see a change. I see that coming about in my country. | 103 |
T. Harv Eker | The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success 'permanently' is to reset your financial thermostat. But it is your choice whether you choose to change. | 103 |
Arnold Bennett | Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts. | 103 |
Bernard Meltzer | When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future. | 103 |
Maria Bello | I was always anti-marriage. I didn't understand monogamy. I couldn't figure out how that could last. And then I met Bryn and I started to understand the beauty of constancy and history and change and going on the roller coaster with someone - of having a partner in life. | 103 |
Roy Orbison | I may be a living legend, but that sure don't help when I've got to change a flat tire. | 103 |
Carl T. Rowan | 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. | 103 |
Marilyn Ferguson | The greatest revolution in our generation is that of human beings, who by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. | 103 |
Mark Sanford | In not my, but our collective hands, is held the promise of change. | 103 |
John H. Johnson | It's better to get smart than to get mad. I try not to get so insulted that I will not take advantage of an opportunity to persuade people to change their minds. | 103 |
Frederick Douglass | Without a struggle, there can be no progress. | 104 |
Stephen Covey | There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles. | 104 |

Marcel Proust | A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves. | 104 |
Billy Crystal | Change is such hard work. | 104 |
Cara Delevingne | I really think that it's disgusting that Paris is the only place where it is illegal for paps to follow you around. It actually took someone losing their life - Diana, an inspirational woman - and then it changed, but they still won't change it in London! It's horrible! | 104 |
Cesar Millan | I have never met a dog I couldn't help; however, I have met humans who weren't willing to change. | 104 |
Charles Caleb Colton | Those who visit foreign nations, but associate only with their own country-men, change their climate, but not their customs. They see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with traveled bodies, but untravelled minds. | 104 |
Damien Hirst | But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest. | 104 |
Debbie Wasserman Schultz | To be clear, climate change is a true 800 pound gorilla in the room. The effects of global warming threaten global environmental upheaval over the coming century. But for South Florida and the Everglades, it could be our death knell if urgent action is not taken. | 104 |
Erin Gruwell | I realized if you can change a classroom, you can change a community, and if you change enough communities you can change the world. | 104 |
Gael Garcia Bernal | When it's good, cinema can be one of the most important things in a person's life. A film can be a catalyst for change. You witness this and it is an incredibly spiritual experience that I'd never lived before; well, maybe only in a football match. | 104 |
Gary Johnson | As I told the students every time I visited a campus, you are the director of your own movie, and if you aren't enjoying what you are doing, change it. | 104 |

Ian Botham | If you can change three lives in 10, three lives in a hundred, that's got to be good, hasn't it? | 104 |
Jack Ma | Help young people. Help small guys. Because small guys will be big. Young people will have the seeds you bury in their minds, and when they grow up, they will change the world. | 104 |
Jawaharlal Nehru | Ignorance is always afraid of change. | 104 |
JR | Art is not supposed to change the world, to change practical things, but to change perceptions. Art can change the way we see the world. Art can create an analogy. | 104 |
Larry the Cable Guy | Doing a kid's movie is fun when you have kids. You don't want to do kids' movies if you don't have kids. When you have kids, things change in your life. | 104 |
Lauren Conrad | Everyone has that friend who's every day, like, 'I hate my nose, I hate my nose, I hate my nose.' You either need to come to peace with it and be like, alright, I hate it, but it's part of me - or change it. So I'm not against plastic surgery, I'm against plastic surgery when it doesn't really need to be done. | 104 |
Lenny Kravitz | Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth. | 104 |
Max Lucado | You change your life by changing your heart. | 104 |
Millard Fillmore | It is not strange... to mistake change for progress. | 104 |
Miuccia Prada | Every day I'm thinking about change. | 104 |
Naomi Campbell | It's a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don't like is predictable. | 104 |
Pat Riley | Being ready isn't enough; you have to be prepared for a promotion or any other significant change. | 104 |
Peter Marshall | Lord, where we are wrong, make us willing to change; where we are right, make us easy to live with. | 104 |
Rupert Murdoch | The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow. | 104 |
Tabatha Coffey | We should all feel confident in our intelligence. By the way, intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree; it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it. | 104 |
William S. Burroughs | Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. | 104 |
Wim Wenders | Entertainment today constantly emphasises the message that things are wonderful the way they are. But there is another kind of cinema, which says that change is possible and necessary and it's up to you. | 104 |
Wyclef Jean | Every generation is gonna keep changing, and you just have to embrace the change. | 104 |
A. S. Byatt | I am suspicious of writers who go looking for issues to address. Writers are neither preachers nor journalists. Journalists know much more than most writers about what's going on in the world. And if you want to change things, you do journalism. | 104 |
Alison Sweeney | One of the things I like best about 'Biggest Loser' is being around people who are trying to make the right choices. When you feel defeated about your weight and your health, like there's no hope, and you still make the choice to fight for it, to make the change happen no matter what people say or think, that's inspiring to me. | 104 |
Andy Stanley | When a plan or strategy fails, people are tempted to assume it was the wrong vision. Plans and strategies can always be changed and improved. But vision doesn't change. Visions are simply refined with time. | 104 |
Bruce Lipton | Through consciousness, our minds have the power to change our planet and ourselves. It is time we heed the wisdom of the ancient indigenous people and channel our consciousness and spirit to tend the garden and not destroy it. | 104 |
Dan Marino | I've been a Dolphin for 17 years, and I'll be a Dolphin for the rest of my life. That will never change. | 104 |
Derrick Rose | The way I dress, I dress totally different than I did when I was in college. I have to - try to - look professional. You change a lot when you are in the NBA, but I know where I came from. | 104 |
Gabrielle Union | I can't just say one time of the year I'm going to do something different. I have to commit to a lifestyle behavioral change and just try to be a little bit better today than I was yesterday. | 104 |
James Cash Penney | Success cannot come from standstill men. Methods change and men must change with them. | 104 |
James Hillman | We can't change anything until we get some fresh ideas, until we begin to see things differently. | 104 |
Joseph Brodsky | I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement, that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change - within himself, not on the outside. | 104 |
Macaulay Culkin | I enjoy my life. I think I have a very good life. And I think I'm very satisfied with the direction of my career and just my lifestyle and everything like that. So I wouldn't change a single thing. | 104 |
Max de Pree | The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers. Are the followers reaching their potential? Are they learning? Serving? Do they achieve the required results? Do they change with grace? Manage conflict? | 104 |
Ron Fournier | We, the people. Manifest Destiny. Conceived in liberty. Fear itself. Ask not. Morning in America. United we stand. Yes, we can. In times of great change and tumult, presidents seek to inspire beleaguered Americans by reminding them of their national identity. | 104 |
Adrian Peterson | Seafood was always my favorite food. I mean, fried lobster? Come on. Once I found out shrimp, scallops and lobster were my allergic triggers, I had to change my diet. | 104 |
Annette Funicello | When you are young and healthy, it never occurs to you that in a single second your whole life could change. | 104 |
David Ben-Gurion | Anyone who believes you can't change history has never tried to write his memoirs. | 104 |
Jeff Goodell | One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won't jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing. | 104 |
John Boyd Orr | There can be no peace in the world so long as a large proportion of the population lack the necessities of life and believe that a change of the political and economic system will make them available. World peace must be based on world plenty. | 104 |
Misha Collins | I'm one of those people that thinks the world changes in smaller and in more mysterious ways than a lot of people like to think. A lot of traditional charities and organizations do things that on the surface seem like a good idea, but it doesn't change the way that people think about interacting with other people. | 104 |
Tavis Smiley | The storm came. Lives were washed away. Ancient pains resurfaced. Now it is time for a sea of change. | 104 |
Elsa Maxwell | Serve the dinner backward, do anything - but for goodness sake, do something weird. | 104 |
Jose Manuel Barroso | You have to understand that to have a revolution when you are 18 years old is completely different from normal political leaders who were born in a democracy and will die in a democracy and never to have experienced that change. I have seen that change. | 104 |
Marla Gibbs | Science of mind teaches you how to realize how much control you have over your own life. It teaches you that we have the ability to change our lives at any point we choose. | 104 |
Armistead Maupin | The world changes in direct proportion to the number of people willing to be honest about their lives. | 104 |
Charity Sunshine Tillemann-Dick | To me, art's highest purpose is to entertain, to enlighten, to inspire, to evoke emotion and to change an audience in some way, big or small. | 104 |
Cliff Burton | Why should we change onstage? We're not trying to be something big and fancy, it's just us, doing what we do, we'd like to keep it that way. | 104 |
Sydney Madwed | The world will change for the better when people decide they are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the way the world is, and decide to change themselves. | 104 |
Alice Meynell | Our fathers valued change for the sake of its results; we value it in the act. | 104 |
John Walters | Too many people just eat to consume calories. Try dining for a change. | 104 |
Justin Rosenstein | We who work in technology have nurtured an especially rare gift: the opportunity to effect change at an unprecedented scale and rate. Technology, community, and capitalism combine to make Silicon Valley the potential epicenter of vast positive change. | 104 |
Steve Jobs | No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. | 105 |
Winston Churchill | To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. | 105 |
Carl Jung | We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses. | 105 |
David Attenborough | It's coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It's not just climate change; it's sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now. | 105 |
Jim Rohn | You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of. | 105 |
Stephen Covey | Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change. | 105 |
Stephen Hawking | Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. | 105 |
Bear Grylls | The rules of survival never change, whether you're in a desert or in an arena. | 105 |
Mao Zedong | If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience. | 105 |
Will Smith | Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there. | 105 |
Beck | As society changes, as politics change, as people change, certain songs still seem to resonate. | 105 |
Bob Newhart | Don't live in the past. There's no point. You can't change anything. What a waste of time. | 105 |

Bryant H. McGill | Change will never happen when people lack the ability and courage to see themselves for who they are. | 105 |

Douglas Horton | Change occurs in direct proportion to dissatisfaction, but dissatisfaction never changes. | 105 |
Emma Goldman | The ultimate end of all revolutionary social change is to establish the sanctity of human life, the dignity of man, the right of every human being to liberty and well-being. | 105 |
George Foreman | A hero is someone right who doesn't change. | 105 |
GG Allin | My principal once told me that I was a penny waiting for change. But I suspect that I irritated him probably because I was making more money than he was. | 105 |
Greg Anderson | Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention. | 105 |
Harvey Fierstein | What looks absolutely fabulous in rehearsal can fall flat in front of an audience. The audience dictates what you do or don't change. | 105 |
Jack Ma | I want to change history, do something important in my life, and influence individuals like we have with millions of small businesses on Alibaba. Then they love and respect you because you made their life important. | 105 |
Jerry Falwell | If I were doing something that the Bible condemns, I have two choices. I can straighten up my act, or I can somehow distort and twist and change the meaning of the Bible. | 105 |
John P. Kotter | If the culture you have is radically different from an 'experiment and take-risk' culture, then you have a big change you going to have to make - and no little gimmicks are going to do it for you. | 105 |
Kin Hubbard | Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while. | 105 |
Lea Michele | I would tell 17-year-olds to be proud of who you are. Don't try to change yourself for others. Focus on school and your future. Boys and friends will come and go, just focus on you and your future. | 105 |
Leonardo DiCaprio | The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day. | 105 |
Madonna Ciccone | I like to change. A new lamp, a piece of art, can transform a room. | 105 |
Michael Specter | Some people will deny anything that displeases or scares them: unusual pain in their chests, unwanted lumps beneath their skin, or the fact that humans share ancestry with apes are a few examples. Another is climate change. | 105 |
Naveen Jain | We begin to change the world when we stimulate long-term prosperity using technology. There is not a problem that's large enough that innovation and entrepreneurship can't solve. | 105 |
Paul Simon | I would be willing to do almost anything to make Art happy. I care about our friendship. The only thing I won't do is change the essence of my work. | 105 |
Pearl S. Buck | A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love. | 105 |
Quintilian | Our minds are like our stomaches; they are whetted by the change of their food, and variety supplies both with fresh appetite. | 105 |
Rebecca Solnit | To be hopeful means to be uncertain about the future, to be tender toward possibilities, to be dedicated to change all the way down to the bottom of your heart. | 105 |
Serj Tankian | We first fought the heathens in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change. | 105 |
Terrell Owens | I think people change, but the media, they never allowed me to change. They never allowed me to be a better person. | 105 |
Thomas Friedman | Optimists are usually wrong. But all the great change in history, positive change, was done by optimists. | 105 |
Tom Freston | People often say that a bad event is a 'blessing in disguise.' Trust me, experience will teach you that some are unbelievably well disguised. Everyone gets fired, or decides to make a radical change at some point. Everyone suffers setbacks. | 105 |
Van Morrison | You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works. | 105 |
Bruce Lipton | Our thoughts are mainly controlled by our subconscious, which is largely formed before the age of 6, and you cannot change the subconscious mind by just thinking about it. | 105 |
Gabrielle Union | I'm not going to change the world overnight. It's one person at a time, and hopefully they're people in positions of power who can help people get in those roles and really, truly embrace colorblind casting. | 105 |
Hugh Mackay | One reason we resist making deliberate choices is that choice equals change and most of us, feeling the world is unpredictable enough, try to minimise the trauma of change in our personal lives. | 105 |
J. B. Priestley | Accidents, try to change them - it's impossible. The accidental reveals man. | 105 |
J. G. Ballard | Most English writers are not interested in change but in the social novel. That demands a static backdrop. I'm intensely interested in change - probably as a matter of self-preservation. What the hell is going to happen next? | 105 |
Jim Brown | Money has changed today's black athletes. Those who have the ability as African men to bring a change in a community that so desperately needs it are concentrating only on their own careers, some charities and how much money they can make. | 105 |
Jose Mourinho | So if one day the result becomes 3-3, for me it doesn't change my mind, because it's football, it's normal. What is not normal is that we haven't been scoring enough goals playing such good football as we've been playing in the last few weeks. | 105 |
Julian Baggini | The optimist underestimates how difficult it is to achieve real change, believing that anything is possible and it's possible now. Only by confronting head-on the reality that all progress is going to be obstructed by vested interests and corrupted by human venality can we create realistic programmes that actually have a chance of success. | 105 |
Liya Kebede | One thing modeling taught me is that the spotlight can change everything. | 105 |
May Sarton | The garden is growth and change and that means loss as well as constant new treasures to make up for a few disasters. | 105 |
Rick Pitino | It could happen to anyone when you get hired by a different president. There's a difference in philosophies. It happens. It's a change in CEOs. They have their own people, their own philosophies, and it's different than what Bob stands for. | 105 |
Ron Fournier | Climate change was a point of division between Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney. The president declared climate change a global threat, acknowledged that the actions of humanity were deepening the crisis, and pledged to do something about it if elected. | 105 |
Gerald Jampolsky | Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others. | 105 |
Juliette Binoche | I believe that being an actress or being involved in a movie has to be a life experience, otherwise why go for it? I have to change me, and I have to learn things, and I have to push me and my limits. By acting, I find a freedom inside of a prison in a way. | 105 |
Mark Skousen | Fraud is common when you give away billions. Fraud related to Hurricane Katrina spending is estimated to top $2 billion. In addition, debit cards provided to hurricane victims were used to pay for Caribbean vacations, NFL tickets, Dom Perignon champagne, 'Girls Gone Wild' videos, and at least one sex change operation. | 105 |
Carrie Ann Inaba | I have this firm belief that I am who I am for a reason. If I change something, I'm cheating myself of whatever it is I'm supposed to learn from my body. You know, I'm legally blind. I'm 20/750, since I was in fifth grade. I wear glasses and contacts. But I won't even get LASIK. | 105 |
Elijah Wood | I definitely don't look my age. So I actively look for roles that will help people change their perception of me. | 105 |
James McGreevey | I realized that my truest passion was for helping people change through faith in a higher power. That meant, for me, belonging to the church. Using my abilities to bring Christian doctrine to a postmodern world. | 105 |
John Major | The argument that someone is a bad man is an inadequate argument for war and certainly an inadequate and unacceptable argument for regime change. | 105 |
Julie Walters | I don't know if you can change things, but it's a drop in the ocean. | 105 |
Mark Burnett | If you want to be certain, you should never get married. You should never change jobs. In fact, you might as well just stay home. Because I don't know anybody who is certain. That need to be certain is just procrastination. | 105 |
Sigmar Gabriel | Being told about the effects of climate change is an appeal to our reason and to our desire to bring about change. But to see that Africans are the hardest hit by climate change, even though they generate almost no greenhouse gas, is a glaring injustice, which also triggers anger and outrage over those who seek to ignore it. | 105 |
Jenson Button | I keep my weight low, although you need to be able to move your weight around the race car to change the balance. I'm 6ft and I'm 70kg so I haven't much fat on me. | 105 |
Bill Copeland | Not only is women's work never done, the definition keeps changing. | 105 |
James Carville | You have to have sharp elbows if you want to change something. | 105 |
John Lennon | I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people. | 106 |
Peter Drucker | The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity. | 106 |
Tony Robbins | Using the power of decision gives you the capacity to get past any excuse to change any and every part of your life in an instant. | 106 |
Imelda Marcos | The Philippines is a terrible name, coming from Spain. Phillip II was the father of the inquisition, who I believe died of syphilis. It is my great regret that we didn't change the name of our country. | 106 |
Alexander Pope | 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. | 106 |
Joe Biden | No fundamental social change occurs merely because government acts. It's because civil society, the conscience of a country, begins to rise up and demand - demand - demand change. | 106 |
Margaret Mead | Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. | 106 |
Anthony J. D'Angelo | Become a student of change. It is the only thing that will remain constant. | 106 |
Barbara Jordan | We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future. | 106 |
Brie Larson | Maybe you're not perfect, but you're willing to actually look at yourself and take some kind of accountability. That's a change. It might not mean that you can turn everything around, but I think there's something incredibly hopeful about that. | 106 |
Charles Kettering | The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress. | 106 |
Cory Booker | I'm going to have setbacks and failures; I'm not going to see change right away all of the time or most of the time. But everybody I've ever respected has failed at one thing or another. I've definitely fallen on my face. But I've also had a comparatively easy life. | 106 |
Eliot Spitzer | Some say that I should settle down, go slower and not push so hard, so quickly for such transformational change. To them, I say that you misunderstand the size of the problems we face, the strength of the status quo and the urgency of the people's desire for change. | 106 |
Enrique Iglesias | I wouldn't change anything. I've made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I've learned. | 106 |
Giordano Bruno | It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people. | 106 |
Greg Anderson | Although our inattention can contribute to our lack of total well-being, we also have the power to choose positive behaviors and responses. In that choice we change our every experience of life! | 106 |
Karen Armstrong | We have domesticated God's transcendence. We often learn about God at about the same time as we are learning about Santa Claus; but our ideas about Santa Claus change, mature and become more nuanced, whereas our ideas of God can remain at a rather infantile level. | 106 |
Kristin Armstrong | When the seasons shift, even the subtle beginning, the scent of a promised change, I feel something stir inside me. Hopefulness? Gratitude? Openness? Whatever it is, it's welcome. | 106 |
Lois Lowry | Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world. | 106 |
Nikki Giovanni | A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change, no matter what it is; once you do, you can learn about the new world you're in and take advantage of it. | 106 |
Octavio Paz | Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two. A constant coming and going: wisdom lies in the momentary. | 106 |
Philip Zimbardo | There are times when external circumstances can overwhelm us, and we do things we never thought. If you're not aware that this can happen, you can be seduced by evil. We need inoculations against our own potential for evil. We have to acknowledge it. Then we can change it. | 106 |
Richard Rogers | Society has to get a grip and put a tax on carbon. Of course, there is much that flows from that, and it is a complex situation. The small details of something such as climate change are political and social, and they are a lot about fairness and how we rebalance towards a fairer society. | 106 |
Ricky Williams | I don't think people change. I think they definitely mature. But I think the essence of what I am today is the same as when I was five years old. It's just maturity. I've become a healthier, fuller expression of that essence. | 106 |
Sebastian Thrun | Most rules that you think are written in stone are just societal. You can change the game and really reach for the stars and make the world a better place. | 106 |
Stanislaw Jerzy Lec | When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet. | 106 |
Timothy Leary | You're only as young as the last time you changed your mind. | 106 |
Tom Clancy | Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Your life may change, but your dream doesn't have to. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. | 106 |
Tom Peters | Excellent firms don't believe in excellence - only in constant improvement and constant change. | 106 |
Ursula K. Le Guin | We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains. | 106 |
Victoria Woodhull | I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it. | 106 |
David Sedaris | I haven't got the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out. | 106 |
Florence Griffith Joyner | I don't always have the best eating habits. I like butter and ice cream. There are days when I should work out and I don't. But it's never too late to change old habits. | 106 |
Mary-Kate Olsen | I like change. I've never really had much consistency in my life, you know, from everyday work to my living situation to whether or not I'm going to be in L.A. The one constant thing in my life is my friends and family, which is all I need. | 106 |
Mickey Rourke | The hardest thing in life to do is to change. | 106 |
Rick Santorum | The government has convinced parents that at some point it's no longer their responsibility. And in fact, they force them, in many respects, to turn their children over to the public education system and wrest control from them and block them out of participation of that. That has to change or education will not improve in this country. | 106 |
Allen Klein | You may not be able to change a situation, but with humor you can change your attitude about it. | 106 |
David D. Burns | Negative thinking patterns can be immensely deceptive and persuasive, and change is rarely easy. But with patience and persistence, I believe that nearly all individuals suffering from depression can improve and experience a sense of joy and self-esteem once again. | 106 |
Jeff Goodell | Ever since the collapse of cap and trade legislation and the realization that President Obama is unlikely to ever utter the words 'climate change' in public again, much less use the bully pulpit to prepare the nation for the catastrophic risks of inaction, the movement has been in a funk. | 106 |
James Levine | A lot of people get impatient with the pace of change. | 106 |
C. S. Lewis | 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. | 107 |
Steve Jobs | For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. | 107 |
Henry Rollins | I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that. | 107 |
Malala Yousafzai | The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born. | 107 |
Kevin Hart | I am who I am. That's why my friends and peers respect and appreciate me. I don't change or cater my actions to fit my surroundings. I'm myself 24/7. People appreciate that. | 107 |
Jane Goodall | Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right. | 107 |
Joyce Meyer | Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges. | 107 |
Margaret Mead | A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. | 107 |
W. Edwards Deming | It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory. | 107 |
Al Franken | You can't change your fingerprints. You have only ten of them. And you leave them on everything you touch; they are definitely not a secret. | 107 |
Alvin Toffler | Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time. | 107 |
Anne Sullivan | We are afraid of ideas, of experimenting, of change. We shrink from thinking a problem through to a logical conclusion. | 107 |
Brendon Burchard | If you create incredible value and information for others that can change their lives - and you always stay focused on that service - the financial success will follow. | 107 |
Carly Fiorina | When you lead change, sometimes you get arrows in your back. I mean, that's just the way the real world is. | 107 |
David Letterman | Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees. | 107 |
Dee Dee Myers | When I joined Bill Clinton's start-up presidential campaign in 1991, I was confident that women would play an ever more important role, but I never gave a minute's thought to what would happen if we won. When we did - and I became the first woman to serve as White House press secretary - it changed my life. But it didn't change the world. | 107 |
Denis Diderot | There are things I can't force. I must adjust. There are times when the greatest change needed is a change of my viewpoint. | 107 |
Diane Ackerman | All relationships change the brain - but most important are the intimate bonds that foster or fail us, altering the delicate circuits that shape memories, emotions and that ultimate souvenir, the self. | 107 |
Drew Carey | The Marines was a fresh start - that is why they shave your head. I wish they would let you change your name. | 107 |
Earl Nightingale | A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change. | 107 |
Enya | As with anything creative, change is inevitable. | 107 |
George Strait | I'm a country singer. I love all kinds of music, but country is where my loyalty lies. That's just me and what I do, and I'm not going to change it. | 107 |
Harrison Ford | We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance. | 107 |
Ingrid Newkirk | If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day - at every meal. | 107 |
Jill Scott | I truly loved being pregnant and feeling what was going on inside my body and watching it change. It's difficult to recoup, but still amazing nonetheless. I would have another one. | 107 |
Jim Gaffigan | Why would a lazy guy become a parent of five? Then again, why would creative people who inherently don't like change and criticism become writers, actors, or comedians? There's something about this process. I joke about it: My kids have made me a better person, and I only need, like, 34 more of them to be a really good guy. | 107 |
John Lewis | When I was 15 years old and in the tenth grade, I heard of Martin Luther King, Jr. Three years later, when I was 18, I met Dr. King and we became friends. Two years after that I became very involved in the civil rights movement. I was in college at that time. As I got more and more involved, I saw politics as a means of bringing about change. | 107 |
Joni Mitchell | I thrive on change. That's probably why my chord changes are weird, because chords depict emotions. They'll be going along on one key and I'll drop off a cliff, and suddenly they will go into a whole other key signature. That will drive some people crazy, but that's how my life is. | 107 |
Larry Flynt | There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums. | 107 |
Larry Page | We're at maybe 1% of what is possible. Despite the faster change, we're still moving slow relative to the opportunities we have. I think a lot of that is because of the negativity... Every story I read is Google vs someone else. That's boring. We should be focusing on building the things that don't exist. | 107 |
Leon Panetta | The area of climate change has a dramatic impact on national security. | 107 |
Lewis Grizzard | Yankees don't understand that the Southern way of talking is a language of nuance. What we can do in the South is we can take a word and change it just a little bit and make it mean something altogether different. | 107 |
Macklemore | 'Vote Love' means vote equality. It means vote change. It means vote what's right for humanity. | 107 |
Seamus Heaney | But that citizen's perception was also at one with the truth in recognizing that the very brutality of the means by which the IRA were pursuing change was destructive of the trust upon which new possibilities would have to be based. | 107 |
Sheryl Sandberg | We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women's voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored. | 107 |
Shiv Khera | Research has shown that it takes 31 days of conscious effort to make or break a habit. That means, if one practices something consistently for 31 days, on the 32nd day it does become a habit. Information has been internalised into behavioural change, which is called transformation. | 107 |
Shunryu Suzuki | 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. | 107 |
Tom Robbins | To some extent, Seattle remains a frontier metropolis, a place where people can experiment with their lives, and change and grow and make things happen. | 107 |
Vernon Howard | To change what you get you must change who you are. | 107 |
Waylon Jennings | I mean, I think we're put here on earth to make your own destiny, to begin with. I don't think there's anything you can do this way or that way to change anything. | 107 |
Walter Dean Myers | As a young man, I saw families prosper without reading because there were always sufficient opportunities for willing workers who could follow simple instructions. This is no longer the case. Children who don't read are, in the main, destined for lesser lives. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to change this. | 107 |
Yehuda Berg | If we each take responsibility in shifting our own behavior, we can trigger the type of change that is necessary to achieve sustainability for our race or this planet. We change our planet, our environment, our humanity every day, every year, every decade, and every millennia. | 107 |
Chip Conley | When the world is in the midst of change, when adversity and opportunity are almost indistinguishable, this is the time for visionary leadership and when leaders need to look beyond the survival needs of those they're serving. | 107 |
Jamais Cascio | Sustainability is a seemingly laudable goal - it tells us we need to live within our means, whether economic, ecological, or political - but it's insufficient for uncertain times. How can we live within our means when those very means can change, swiftly and unexpectedly, beneath us? | 107 |
John Berger | A boycott is directed against a policy and the institutions which support that policy either actively or tacitly. Its aim is not to reject, but to bring about change. | 107 |
John Henry Newman | To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often. | 107 |
Michael Franti | During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come. | 107 |
Sebastian Vettel | I don't care what other people think as long as I am happy. The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don't have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver. | 107 |
Michael Chang | Maybe sometimes I'm such a thinker, I reevaluate too much. Sometimes when it comes down to it, I really don't need to do anything, I don't really need to change anything. I need to just keep plugging away, working at it. | 107 |
Jim Rohn | If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree. | 108 |
John Wooden | Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be. | 108 |
Viktor E. Frankl | When we are no longer able to change a situation - just think of an incurable disease such as an inoperable cancer - we are challenged to change ourselves. | 108 |
Kid Cudi | My whole thing is just to put out positive messages in the music, give people something that can change their lives. | 108 |
Vivienne Westwood | It's a philosophy of life. A practice. If you do this, something will change, what will change is that you will change, your life will change, and if you can change you, you can perhaps change the world. | 108 |
Dante Alighieri | The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come. | 108 |
Jack Welch | Change before you have to. | 108 |
Albert Ellis | People got insights into what was bothering them, but they hardly did a damn thing to change. | 108 |
Brian Tracy | You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you. | 108 |
Chuck Norris | In America the schools have become too permissive, the kids now are controlling the schools, the tail is wagging the dog. We've got to make a change there and get it back to where the teachers have control of the classrooms. | 108 |
E. O. Wilson | Change will come slowly, across generations, because old beliefs die hard even when demonstrably false. | 108 |
Edward de Bono | Studies have shown that 90% of error in thinking is due to error in perception. If you can change your perception, you can change your emotion and this can lead to new ideas. | 108 |
Glenn Beck | Political Correctness doesn't change us, it shuts us up. | 108 |
Heraclitus | Nothing endures but change. | 108 |
Jeff Bridges | If you change partners every time it gets tough or you get a little dissatisfied, then I don't think you get the richness that's available in a long-term relationship. | 108 |
Joan Didion | You had to feel the swell change. You had to go with the change. He told me that. No eye is on the sparrow but he did tell me that. | 108 |
Lech Walesa | The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I see it, is service to a fellow human being. | 108 |
Octavio Paz | Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two. | 108 |
Paul Hawken | We're trained to see the world in terms of charismatic organizations and charismatic people. That's who we look to for leadership and change, for transformation. We're awaiting the next J.F.K., the next Martin Luther King, the next Gandhi, the next Nelson Mandela. | 108 |
Robert Plant | I have to try and change the landscape, whatever it is. | 108 |
Saul Alinsky | 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. | 108 |
Serj Tankian | Sometimes a good love song can change the world and create positive energy more than any political song can. | 108 |
Shah Rukh Khan | You know, I think we Indians are afraid to show and celebrate our happiness, lest things change around. But I feel that it's okay to be sad and okay to show when you are happy. | 108 |
Shimon Peres | You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now, the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don't give equal rights to women, you can't progress. | 108 |
Vinoba Bhave | In this world of chance and change and mutability, the fulfillment of any resolve depends on the will of the Lord. | 108 |
Winona LaDuke | We are launching a campaign called Wind, Not War, which is about the alternatives to a fossil-fuels-based economy and looking at wind, an alternative energy, as key to that in terms of issues of global climate change as well as issues of democracy. | 108 |
Barbara Sher | Change is not only likely, it's inevitable. | 108 |
Geri Halliwell | My daughter is the biggest gift; I've said it so many times and it sounds like a cliche, but the thing about being a parent is when you think you've cracked it, and you're on top of your game, they change again and you have to catch up and adjust. I feel such a responsibility to instill good values in her, to be polite, to have discipline. | 108 |
Gwen Stefani | If I wasn't even famous or had any success, I would still wake up and put tons of make-up on, and put on a cool outfit. That's always been who I've been my whole life, so that's never gonna change. I love fashion. I love getting dressed up. I love Halloween, too. | 108 |
J. Michael Straczynski | If a person with a bullet in Dallas can change the world, imagine a person with an idea could do. | 108 |

Max Muller | While the river of life glides along smoothly, it remains the same river; only the landscape on either bank seems to change. | 108 |
Jennifer Hudson | When people said Africa would change me, I didn't understand what they meant. To see the poverty in the townships, for instance, is overwhelming. I found it heart-wrenching to see young children walking barefoot and hungry in the dirt. I'm the kind of person who wants to change the world right here and now, so I got frustrated. | 108 |
Josh Fox | What we've got is the wholesale embrace of fracking domestically, internationally and for export. And this couldn't be further from what we really need to do to address climate change. | 108 |
Eckhart Tolle | Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences. | 109 |

Barbara Kingsolver | Small change, small wonders - these are the currency of my endurance and ultimately of my life. | 109 |
Bruno Mars | I don't think anyone ever plans to change line-ups, but it's something that comes with being in bands. I was in a band once and there were always problems - members come and go - and some of the world's biggest bands have changed line-ups loads! | 109 |
Carl Rogers | The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. | 109 |
David Suzuki | The damage that climate change is causing and that will get worse if we fail to act goes beyond the hundreds of thousands of lives, homes and businesses lost, ecosystems destroyed, species driven to extinction, infrastructure smashed and people inconvenienced. | 109 |
George Harrison | Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change, and to see you're only very small and life flows on within you and without you. | 109 |
John Cleese | I just think that sometimes we hang onto people or relationships long after they've ceased to be of any use to either of you. I'm always meeting new people, and my list of friends seems to change quite a bit. | 109 |
Josh Billings | There are two kinds of fools: those who can't change their opinions and those who won't. | 109 |
Marlene Dietrich | Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him. | 109 |
Muhammad Yunus | Unprecedented technological capabilities combined with unlimited human creativity have given us tremendous power to take on intractable problems like poverty, unemployment, disease, and environmental degradation. Our challenge is to translate this extraordinary potential into meaningful change. | 109 |
Naomi Wolf | For all the power of video and film, I am not giving up my pen. I am just much more likely to try to link essays to webcasts or videos. The best way for these two media to move forward, to inform and make change, is in tandem; together they are more than the sum of their parts. | 109 |
Naveen Jain | In the business world today, failure is apparently not an option. We need to change this attitude toward failure - and celebrate the idea that only by falling on our collective business faces do we learn enough to succeed down the road. | 109 |
Phil Crosby | Slowness to change usually means fear of the new. | 109 |
Salman Khan | It feels nice to be loved, but let me tell you there are 10 times more better looking, stylish and talented guys than me. So there's no solid reason for me to be proud! I don't think I have done anything extraordinary to change people's lives. | 109 |
Shimon Peres | Israel welcomes the wind of change, and sees a window of opportunity. Democratic and science-based economies by nature desire peace. Israel does not want to be an island of affluence in an ocean of poverty. Improvements in our neighbours' lives mean improvements to the neighbourhood in which we live. | 109 |
Thomas Carlyle | There are good and bad times, but our mood changes more often than our fortune. | 109 |
Yoko Ono | If your life changes, we can change the world, too. | 109 |
Bruce Barton | 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. | 109 |
Madeleine M. Kunin | To make flexibility work, it is not only necessary to change our attitude about who is a good worker and who is not, but we have to train managers at all levels to recognize the difference between the number of hours worked and the quality of work produced. | 109 |
Robert Anthony | When you blame others, you give up your power to change. | 109 |
Ryan Sheckler | I'm living with every step. I can't live with regret. The past is the past. I'm not worried about it. I can't change it. I can't fix it. It is what it is. I'm just living. | 109 |
Mary Douglas | If you want to change the culture, you will have to start by changing the organization. | 109 |

Robert Kennedy | Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies. | 110 |
Wayne Dyer | What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds. | 110 |
Jack Welch | Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while. | 110 |

Richard P. Feynman | I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there. | 110 |
Ban Ki-moon | By including children with different learning abilities in mainstream and specialized schools, we can change attitudes and promote respect. By creating suitable jobs for adults with autism, we integrate them into society. | 110 |
Barbara De Angelis | No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change. | 110 |
Brett Favre | Injuries obviously change the way you approach the game. | 110 |
Carter G. Woodson | As another has well said, to handicap a student by teaching him that his black face is a curse and that his struggle to change his condition is hopeless is the worst sort of lynching. | 110 |
Elizabeth Warren | When I first started talking about running for office, a lot of people said to me, 'Don't let the consultants change you,' and I'd always assured them that I wouldn't allow it to happen. But like it or not, I had to change. Not because of a consultant, but because I started to understand the cost of a stupid mistake. | 110 |
Emile Durkheim | One cannot long remain so absorbed in contemplation of emptiness without being increasingly attracted to it. In vain, one bestows on it the name of infinity; this does not change its nature. | 110 |
Erica Jong | I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change... I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back. | 110 |
Fergie | I have always loved fashion because it's a great way to express your mood. And I'm definitely a shoe lover. The right pair of shoes can change the feel of an outfit, and even change how a woman feels about herself. A woman can wear confidence on her feet with a high stiletto, or slip into weekend comfort with a soft ballet flat. | 110 |
Gary Busey | It's good for everyone to understand that they are to love their enemies, simply because your enemies show you things about yourself you need to change. So in actuality enemies are friends in reverse. | 110 |
Hubert H. Humphrey | Each child is an adventure into a better life - an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new. | 110 |
Jeff Bridges | Thoughts will change and shift just like the wind and the water when you're on the boat; thoughts are no different than anything else. | 110 |
Katherine Mansfield | Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change. | 110 |
Paul Hawken | If, as is natural, you focus on the corruption and on those threatened institutions that are trying to prevent change - even though they don't really know what they're trying to prevent - then you can get pessimistic. | 110 |
Queen Rania of Jordan | I think change needs to be egoless. It's not about my leaving my fingerprints or a legacy. It's more important to be part of a process by rolling up your sleeves, being on the ground, initiating projects, starting campaigns - you know, building stuff. | 110 |
Seth Godin | I think the most productive thing to do during times of change is to be your best self, not the best version of someone else. | 110 |
Thomas Hardy | Time changes everything except something within us which is always surprised by change. | 110 |

Tom DeLonge | Everyone I talk to says stuff like, 'Music sucks today,' and I'm going to try and change all that. | 110 |

Srikumar Rao | If you have an ongoing relationship with a person, think of everything positive about that person that you possibly can and enter your interaction from that space. Ignore all the crap that used to drive you up the wall before. You will be amazed at what a change this attitude shift brings about. | 110 |
Jonathan Davis | It is quite annoying that we have to change the sound we invented just to avoid sounding like people who simply copy us, but... it is flattering and of course challenging. | 110 |
Mary Ellen Mark | I'm not against digital photography. It's great for newspapers. And there are photographers doing great work digitally. When they use Photoshop as a darkroom tool, that's fine, too. But at this point of my life, after so many years, I don't really want to change, and I still love film. | 110 |
Bob Dylan | I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change. | 111 |
Gloria Steinem | If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot? | 111 |

Victor Hugo | Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots. | 111 |
William Arthur Ward | Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. | 111 |
Kid Cudi | Some people just don't want to see change, but thankfully there are a lot of people more optimistic for something new in music, even with the bigger picture like with Obama getting elected. | 111 |
Joel Osteen | You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue. | 111 |

Edsger Dijkstra | Mathematicians are like managers - they want improvement without change. | 111 |
Freeman Dyson | We have no reason to think that climate change is harmful if you look at the world as a whole. Most places, in fact, are better off being warmer than being colder. And historically, the really bad times for the environment and for people have been the cold periods rather than the warm periods. | 111 |
Gary Zukav | When two people in an intimate-couple relationship look at their interactions as opportunities to learn about themselves instead of change each other, they are infusing their relationship with the energy of spiritual partnership. | 111 |

J. Paul Getty | In times of rapid change, experience could be your worst enemy. | 111 |

Mignon McLaughlin | It's the most unhappy people who most fear change. | 111 |
Yoko Ono | Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace, and the message will spread quicker than you think. | 111 |
Danica McKellar | I didn't think that college math was for me. I didn't think I'd be able to hack it. And that perception of math not being for girls, not being for girls who see themselves as socially well adjusted has got to change. | 111 |
Robert Anthony | When it becomes more difficult to suffer than to change... you will change. | 111 |
Roseanne Barr | I do kabbalistic meditation. It's not unlike time travel; it can change the past and not just the future. You can look at what was lost and go beyond the grief of what was lost. | 111 |
Sasha Grey | Persistence and determination are incredibly important. But sometimes you need to analyze the situation and understand when you're wrong. You need to be able to cop to being wrong, learn to change, and continue to grow as a human being. | 111 |
Edmund Burke | A State without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation. | 112 |
Hillary Clinton | If I want to knock a story off the front page, I just change my hairstyle. | 112 |

Aleister Crowley | The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal. | 112 |
Alfred North Whitehead | The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order. | 112 |
Bill Watterson | Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, everything's different. | 112 |

Gordon Ramsay | Swearing is industry language. For as long as we're alive it's not going to change. You've got to be boisterous to get results. | 112 |
Helena Bonham Carter | I have to struggle to change people's perceptions of me. I grew very frustrated with the perception that I'm this shy, retiring, inhibited aristocratic creature when I'm absolutely not like that at all. I think I'm much more outgoing and exuberant than my image. | 112 |
Larry David | Sometimes I have these fantasies of just moving to a foreign country and coming back with a full head of hair. Or not even come back! Make a new life there with hair... Change my name, just see what happens. | 112 |
Michael Phelps | I want to be able to look back and say, 'I've done everything I can, and I was successful.' I don't want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I'd like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along. | 112 |

Al Gore | I think that more diversity is a good thing, and fresh points of view articulated by people who are committed to excellence in journalism is a beneficial change in the American media landscape. | 113 |
Cesar Millan | Change takes effort. And the reality is, most people don't want to put in effort to better their life. | 113 |
Flannery O'Connor | The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it. | 113 |
Ingrid Newkirk | Give your dog or cat respect, patience, understanding and love. And if you just change to one vegetarian day a week, that's a wonderful step that will save animal lives. It means you have chosen something kind instead of something cruel. | 113 |
James E. Faust | Some of our important choices have a time line. If we delay a decision, the opportunity is gone forever. Sometimes our doubts keep us from making a choice that involves change. Thus an opportunity may be missed. | 113 |
Leonardo DiCaprio | I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up. | 113 |
Neil Young | One new feature or fresh take can change everything. | 113 |
Paul Simon | My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It's the only thing I find interesting. | 113 |
Plutarch | I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better. | 113 |
Sharon Salzberg | We need the compassion and the courage to change the conditions that support our suffering. Those conditions are things like ignorance, bitterness, negligence, clinging, and holding on. | 113 |
Sydney J. Harris | Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better. | 113 |
William Shatner | No, I don't regret anything at this point. That may change on the next phone call, but at the moment I don't regret anything. | 113 |

Michael Jordan | If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome. | 114 |
Woody Allen | I don't believe in the after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear. | 114 |
Vaclav Havel | If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed. | 114 |
Denis Waitley | Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable. | 114 |
Albert Ellis | We teach people that they upset themselves. We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today. | 114 |
David Cameron | We have the character of an island nation: independent, forthright, passionate in defence of our sovereignty. We can no more change this British sensibility than we can drain the English Channel. And because of this sensibility, we come to the European Union with a frame of mind that is more practical than emotional. | 114 |
James Russell Lowell | Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change. | 114 |
Peace Pilgrim | Worry is a useless mulling over of things we cannot change. | 114 |

Sharon Salzberg | The middle way is a view of life that avoids the extreme of misguided grasping born of believing there is something we can find, or buy, or cling to that will not change. And it avoids the despair and nihilism born from the mistaken belief that nothing matters, that all is meaningless. | 114 |
Doug Larson | Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. | 114 |
Martin Luther King, Jr. | Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent. | 115 |
Edmund Burke | We must all obey the great law of change. It is the most powerful law of nature. | 115 |
Gloria Steinem | The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home. There are many ways of supporting that, from something as simple as paid sick leave and flexible work hours to attributing an economic value to all caregiving and making that amount tax deductible. | 115 |
John Lydon | I don't have huge bank accounts. I'd love one. But it wouldn't change much. I don't have any expensive habits. I'm not a car collector or any of that nonsense. But I'd love to be incredibly wealthy for no reason at all. | 115 |
Joyce Meyer | Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity. | 115 |
Marilyn Manson | As a kid I had buck teeth and braces and acne. I hated what I saw. I'm still not comfortable, but that's why I change and adapt the way I look. | 115 |

Simon Mainwaring | Effectively, change is almost impossible without industry-wide collaboration, cooperation and consensus. | 115 |
Tom Peters | The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it. | 115 |
Unknown | True change takes place in the imagination. | 115 |
Jean Paul | Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence. | 115 |

Benjamin Disraeli | In a progressive country change is constant; change is inevitable. | 116 |
Harriet Tubman | As I lay so sick on my bed, from Christmas till March, I was always praying for poor ole master. 'Pears like I didn't do nothing but pray for ole master. 'Oh, Lord, convert ole master;' 'Oh, dear Lord, change dat man's heart, and make him a Christian.' | 116 |
Leo Tolstoy | 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. | 116 |
Malala Yousafzai | When someone tells me about Malala, the girl who was shot by the Taliban - that's my definition for her - I don't think she's me. Now I don't even feel as if I was shot. Even my life in Swat feels like a part of history or a movie I watched. Things change. God has given us a brain and a heart which tell us how to live. | 116 |
Audre Lorde | Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before. | 116 |

Jacques Yves Cousteau | If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed and if we are not willing to change, we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect. | 116 |
Maya Angelou | I'm convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they're stones that don't matter. As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to do some good. | 117 |
Christopher Hitchens | It's impossible, I think, however much I'd become disillusioned politically or evolve into a post-political person, I don't think I'd ever change my view that socialism is the best political moment humans have ever come up with. | 117 |
Rosa Parks | I don't think well of people who are prejudiced against people because of race. The only way for prejudiced people to change is for them to decide for themselves that all human beings should be treated fairly. We can't force them to think that way. | 117 |
Jeff Bezos | What's dangerous is not to evolve. | 117 |
Marilyn Manson | There's no reason to change what you are, but if you're not being you, then you need to acknowledge that. | 117 |
Eddie Vedder | I think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music, and some of it is things that might affect a person's day, if not their life, or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something. | 117 |
Eric Hoffer | In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. | 117 |
Katy Perry | I love what I do, and when I don't love what I do, I'll make a change. | 117 |
Martha Beck | Life is full of tough decisions, and nothing makes them easy. But the worst ones are really your personal koans, and tormenting ambivalence is just the sense of satori rising. Try, trust, try, and trust again, and eventually you'll feel your mind change its focus to a new level of understanding. | 117 |
Maxwell Maltz | To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior. | 117 |
Rafael Nadal | I used to wear sleeveless T-shirts all the time on court, but now I've got a brand new look - I've moved on to polo shirts. Sleeveless T-shirts give you real freedom of movement and they keep you cooler in matches, but I just thought it was time for a change. | 117 |
Sarah Palin | We say keep your change, we'll keep our God, our guns, our constitution. | 117 |

Henry David Thoreau | Things do not change; we change. | 118 |
Katharine Hepburn | We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change. | 118 |
Leo Buscaglia | I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it. | 118 |
Niccolo Machiavelli | Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times. | 118 |
Nicki Minaj | I'm a role model now. I didn't know I was gonna have 13-year-old fans, so I've tried to change a few things here and there. But I also know that the girls don't want me to be Miley Cyrus, either. | 118 |
Prince | The gatekeepers must change. | 118 |
Percy Bysshe Shelley | 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. | 118 |
Jesse Jackson | Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things. | 118 |
William Feather | One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young. | 118 |
Alexander Hamilton | Constitutions should consist only of general provisions; the reason is that they must necessarily be permanent, and that they cannot calculate for the possible change of things. | 119 |
Eleanor Roosevelt | You can't move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn't mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority. | 119 |
Muhammad Ali | Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change. | 119 |
Andy Warhol | Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves? | 119 |
Harry S Truman | Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better. | 119 |
Malala Yousafzai | We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls' rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past. | 119 |

Herodotus | Illness strikes men when they are exposed to change. | 119 |
Niels Bohr | Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it. | 119 |
Paris Hilton | Some people change when they think they're a star or something. | 119 |
Steve Carell | In an enclosed space, a camel's breath can change the atmosphere of the room. Not only just the smell, they literally seem to change the atmospheric pressure. It's so disgusting. It's like they have eight stomachs each more rancid then the next and it just comes out of their mouth. | 119 |
Karl Marx | It is absolutely impossible to transcend the laws of nature. What can change in historically different circumstances is only the form in which these laws expose themselves. | 120 |
Marilyn Manson | I care about the people I know and love the most, but I also care about what the people I don't know think in the sense that I want them to think and understand me in a certain way. I don't base my life around either one, and I don't change the way I live to please either set of people, but I do care. | 120 |
Mark Zuckerberg | My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don't care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that - building something that actually makes a really big change in the world. | 120 |
Ban Ki-moon | Climate change, demographics, water, food, energy, global health, women's empowerment - these issues are all intertwined. We cannot look at one strand in isolation. Instead, we must examine how these strands are woven together. | 120 |
Cristiano Ronaldo | I know I'm a good professional, I know that no one's harder on me than myself and that's never going to change, under any circumstances. | 120 |
Marco Rubio | We focus so much on how immigrants can change America that we forget that America has always changed immigrants even more. | 120 |
William C. Bryant | Weep not that the world changes - did it keep a stable, changeless state, it were cause indeed to weep. | 120 |
Michelle Obama | I'm not asking any of you to make drastic changes to every single one of your recipes or to totally change the way you do business. But what I am asking is that you consider reformulating your menu in pragmatic and incremental ways to create healthier versions of the foods that we all love. | 121 |
Angelina Jolie | I've learned that we all change constantly. It's rare to find that person who is growing with you in the same way at the same time, who encourages you to grow. | 121 |
William Tecumseh Sherman | An Army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. Every change in the rules which impairs the principle weakens the army. | 121 |

Adlai E. Stevenson | Change is inevitable. Change for the better is a full-time job. | 121 |

Morihei Ueshiba | All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together. | 121 |
Dan Quayle | We have to do more than just elect a new President if we truly want to change this country. | 122 |
Lionel Messi | I've never stopped being Argentine, and I've never wanted to. I feel very proud of being Argentine, even though I left there. I've been clear about this since I was very young, and I never wanted to change. Barcelona is my home because both the club and the people here have given me everything, but I won't stop being Argentine. | 122 |
Ban Ki-moon | The clear and present danger of climate change means we cannot burn our way to prosperity. We already rely too heavily on fossil fuels. We need to find a new, sustainable path to the future we want. We need a clean industrial revolution. | 122 |
Cristiano Ronaldo | There's no point in making predictions. It's not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future. | 122 |
Temple Grandin | I get satisfaction out of seeing stuff that makes real change in the real world. We need a lot more of that and a lot less abstract stuff. | 122 |
Winston Churchill | A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. | 123 |
Bill Gates | We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction. | 123 |
John C. Maxwell | A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential. | 123 |
Peter Drucker | We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn. | 123 |
Soren Kierkegaard | The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays. | 123 |
John Steinbeck | Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass. | 123 |
Ban Ki-moon | Climate change does not respect border; it does not respect who you are - rich and poor, small and big. Therefore, this is what we call 'global challenges,' which require global solidarity. | 123 |
Brigitte Bardot | Only idiots refuse to change their minds. | 123 |
William S. Burroughs | Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact. | 123 |
Benjamin Disraeli | Change is inevitable. Change is constant. | 124 |
Niccolo Machiavelli | One change always leaves the way open for the establishment of others. | 124 |
Richard M. Nixon | In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars. | 124 |
Stephen Hawking | I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road. | 124 |
Johnny Depp | I think it's an actor's responsibility to change every time. Not only for himself and the people he's working with, but for the audience. If you just go out and deliver the same dish every time... it's meat loaf again... you'd get bored. I'd get bored. | 124 |
Richard Bach | The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change. | 124 |

Bill Gates | Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority. | 125 |
Deepak Chopra | We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being. | 125 |
Eckhart Tolle | To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness. | 125 |
Jimi Hendrix | In order to change the world, you have to get your head together first. | 125 |
Lionel Messi | I've never stopped being Argentine, and I've never wanted to. I feel very proud of being Argentine, even though I left there. I've been clear about this since I was very young, and I never wanted to change. | 125 |
Ban Ki-moon | Climate change, in some regions, has aggravated conflict over scarce land, and could well trigger large-scale migration in the decades ahead. And rising sea levels put at risk the very survival of all small island states. These and other implications for peace and security have implications for the United Nations itself. | 125 |
Emma Goldman | Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labeled Utopian. | 125 |

Joyce Meyer | When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him. | 126 |
Zig Ziglar | You are who you are and what you are because of what has gone into your mind. You can change who you are and what you are by changing what goes into your mind. | 126 |

Lord Byron | Opinions are made to be changed - or how is truth to be got at? | 201 |

Francois de La Rochefoucauld | Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness. | 202 |
Richard Dawkins | An Internet meme is a hijacking of the original idea. Instead of mutating by random change and spreading by a form of Darwinian selection, Internet memes are altered deliberately by human creativity.

Brian Tracy | Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor. | 202 |

Brene Brown | Normally, when someone we love is turning away from a struggle, we self-protect by also turning away. That's definitely my first response. I think change is more likely to happen if both partners have common language and a shared lens to see problems. | 204 |
Ovid | Habits change into character. | 204 |
Les Brown | You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change. | 205 |
Oprah Winfrey | The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude. | 205 |
Martha Beck | My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know, we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind. | 205 |
Confucius | The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them. | 206 |

W. Clement Stone | All I want to do is change the world. | 207 |
Dalai Lama | The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement, many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history. | 208 |
Martin Luther King, Jr. | Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system. | 208 |

Mason Cooley | Excuses change nothing, but make everyone feel better. | 211 |
Barack Obama | I don't care whether you're driving a hybrid or an SUV. If you're headed for a cliff, you have to change direction. That's what the American people called for in November, and that's what we intend to deliver. | 212 |
John C. Maxwell | Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do. | 212 |
Michelle Obama | I am desperate for change - now - not in 8 years or 12 years, but right now. | 213 |

Denis Waitley | Relentless, repetitive self talk is what changes our self-image. | 213 |
Zig Ziglar | I seldom read anything that is not of a factual nature because I want to invest my time wisely in the things that will improve my life. Don't misunderstand; there is nothing wrong with reading purely for the joy of it. Novels have their place, but biographies of famous men and women contain information that can change lives. | 213 |
James Russell Lowell | The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinions. | 213 |

John Locke | Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state. | 214 |
Michelle Obama | It wasn't so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes, much as we all hate to admit it, it's just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours, so we can pay the bills or do the laundry or just have some peace and quiet for a change. | 214 |
John Wooden | We can have no progress without change, whether it be basketball or anything else. | 215 |
Margaret Thatcher | I usually make up my mind about a man in ten seconds, and I very rarely change it. | 215 |
Ronald Reagan | All great change in America begins at the dinner table. | 216 |
Bill Gates | By the time we see that climate change is really bad, your ability to fix it is extremely limited... The carbon gets up there, but the heating effect is delayed. And then the effect of that heat on the species and ecosystem is delayed. That means that even when you turn virtuous, things are actually going to get worse for quite a while. | 216 |
Carl Jung | 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. | 216 |

Joel Osteen | Just because something didn't work out your way, or somebody disappointed you, that does not change who you are. | 219 |
Dalai Lama | Some scientists believe climate change is the cause of unprecedented melting of the North Pole, and that effects these very uncertain weather patterns. I think we should listen to those scientists and experts. | 221 |
Taylor Swift | I think the tiniest little thing can change the course of your day, which can change the course of your year, which can change who you are. | 222 |
Marilyn Manson | Growing up going to Christian school and the concept that you're born a sinner and you don't really have a choice to change who you are has been hammered into my head and created the entire reason why I made art and made a band and made records called 'Antichrist Superstar.' | 222 |
Steve Jobs | Things don't have to change the world to be important. | 223 |
Clint Eastwood | Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands. | 224 |

H. Jackson Brown, Jr. | Remember that life's big changes rarely give advance warning. | 313 |
Hillary Clinton | In too many instances, the march to globalization has also meant the marginalization of women and girls. And that must change. | 314 |
Marilyn Monroe | I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing. | 315 |
Eminem | People can try to reinvent themselves. I don't think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you've done up to now. | 315 |
Thomas Jefferson | It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own. | 316 |

Napoleon Bonaparte | One must change one's tactics every ten years if one wishes to maintain one's superiority. | 317 |

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | I was willing to accept what I couldn't change. | 322 |

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | All things are only transitory. | 521 |
Henry David Thoreau | So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change.

All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant. | 522 |
Francois de La Rochefoucauld | Taste may change, but inclination never. | 610 |
