It is in changing that things find purpose.
Heraclitus

Every new adustment is a crisis in self-esteem.
Eric Hoffer

The consistent thinker ...is either a walking mummy or else, if he has not succeeded in stifling all his vitality, a fanatical monomaniac.
Aldous Huxley

History warns us... that it is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions
T. H. Huxley

There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in travelling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place.
Washington Irving

We have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood.
William James

The only thing that has to change is our attitude.
Gerald Jampolsky

NEED, SATISFACTION, FULFILLMENT
"Such are the vicissitudes of the world, through all its parts, that day and night, labour and rest, hurry and retirement, endear each other: such are the changes that keep the mind in action: we desire, we pursue, we obtain, we are satiated; we desire something else, and begin a new pursuit."
Johnson

Samuel Johnson

Everything changes but change itself.
John F. Kennedy

The one uncangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.
John F. Kennedy

Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.
Robert F. Kennedy

When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.
Tuli Kupferberg

The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
Max Lerner

If you want truly to understand something, try to change it.
Kurt Lewin
