We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.
Jimmy Carter, in his 1-20-1977 inaugural address, quoting his high school teacher Julia Coleman

Any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you.
Carlos Castaneda

To remain young one must change
Alexander Chase

If you cry "Forward" you must be sure to make clear the direction in which to go. Don't you see that if you fail to do that and simply call out the word to a monk and a revolutionary, they will go in precisely opposite directions.
Anton Chekhov

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
Sir Winston Churchill

Turbulence is a life force. It is opportunity. Let's love turbulence and use it for change.
Ramsay Clark

Open your eyes! The world is still intact.
Paul Claudel

The challenges of change are always hard. It is important that we begin to unpack those challenges that confront this nation and realize that we each have a role that requires us to change and become more responsible for shaping our own future.
Hillary Rodham Clinton

I have news for the forces of greed and the defenders of the status quo: your time has come and gone. It's time for change in America.
William Jefferson Clinton

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

I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a 'transformer' in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.
Stephen R. Covey

If anything is certain, it is that change is certain. The world we are planning for today will not exist in this form tomorrow.
Philip Crosby

...I am not apt to follow blindly the lead of other men. I have steadily endeavoured to keep my mind free so as to give up any hypothesis, however much beloved (and I cannot resist forming one on every subject), as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it. Indeed, I have had no choice but to act in this manner, for with the exception of the Coral Reefs, I cannot remember a single first-formed hypothesis which had not after a time to be given up or greatly modified. This has naturally led me to distrust greatly deductive reasoning in the mixed sciences. On the other hand, I am not very sceptical,�a frame of mind which I believe to be injurious to the progress of science. A good deal of scepticism in a scientific man is advisable to avoid much loss of time, but I have met with not a few men, who, I feel sure, have often thus been deterred from experiment or observations, which would have proved directly or indirectly serviceable.
Charles Darwin

PERSISTENCE, DETERMINATION, PERSEVERANCE
Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.
Leonardo da Vinci

ACTION, DECISION
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure , the process is its own reward.
Robyn Davidson

Bebop was about change, about evolution. It wasn't about standing still and becoming safe. If anybody wants to keep creating they have to be about change.
Miles Davis
