Change is hardest at the beginning, messiest in the middle and best at the end.

Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene.

The reality is that changes are coming... They must come. You must share in bringing them.

We must learn to view change as a natural phenomenon - to anticipate it and to plan for it. The future is ours to channel in the direction we want to go... we must continually ask ourselves, "What will happen if...?" or better still, "How can we make it happen?"

When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.

It's never too late - in fiction or in life - to revise.

Change the fabric of your own soul and your own visions and you change all.

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

Things do not change; we change.

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

The one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.

What is more enthralling to the human mind than this splendid, boundless, coloured mutability! Life in the making?

If you want to change your life, change your mind.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

Change is the watchword of progression. When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view.

Readjusting is a painful process, but most of us need it at one time or another.

We accept the verdict of the past until the need for change cries out loudly enough to force upon us a choice between the comforts of inertia and the irksomeness of action.

Loyalty to a petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality.

The most significant change in a person's life is a change of attitude. Right attitudes produce right actions.

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

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

He that has energy enough to root out a vice should go further, and try to plant a virtue in its place.

The first step toward change is acceptance. Once you accept yourself, you open the door to change. That's all you have to do. Change is not something you do, it's something you allow.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door, that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

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...

All great changes are preceded by chaos.

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.

The real guys that I knew were really cool people, who I played basketball with and traveled with on teams and knew their families and knew that they love their family. They just happen to do something that wasn't all the way legal, but it was a part of their life, and you knew that they hustled.

Soldiers, I intend to stay here, not only as long as a man remains, but as long as a piece of a man is left.

When your product solves a problem that costs customers sleep, revenue, or profits, things are definitely looking up.

I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.

There are so many songs in my heart and in my brain. I wake up at 2 in the morning, and I have to get up and sing them. There are so many of them, it's ridiculous.

I've been very fortunate and I am grateful.

I still say if the ball is there to be won I will go for it, whether with my head or whatever, and if it means us scoring or stopping a goal, I won't think twice.

I think if I could be a man in any time period, I would be a pirate. You know, go climbing in the rigging, sword fighting. I'd like to do that.

When I make a song, I'm really happy. It's an indescribable feeling.

I think the long-term effect of video on cinema is good in that what we are now getting up there on the screen is of superior quality. Videos are just so much more sensitive to the world.

To me, it really doesn't matter where they line me up.

There are many ways to motivate people to do things but loyalty comes from the ability to inspire people.

Breakfast is always the best time for something juicy, sweet and fresh - it just feels like the right way to open the day. There's no right way, though, when it comes to choosing the fruit.

I feel responsible; I feel I've got to do something that will leave the kids a place where they can live healthy, safe, productive, creative and prosperous lives.

The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.

The main threads running through the lives of W. A. Clark and his daughter Huguette include the costs of ambition, the burdens of inherited wealth, the fragility of reputation, the folly of judging someone's life from the outside, and the tension between engaging with the world, with all its risks, and keeping a safe distance from danger.

There never was a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.

I think it's an individual thing. Your mountains are my molehills.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

There is no better guide to this world than oblivion.
