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.

I would like to be a gang leader on 'Sons of Anarchy' or own a lemonade stand on 'Boardwalk Empire.'

The root of joy is gratefulness. It is not joy that makes us grateful it is gratitude that makes us joyful.

It will be written on my tombstone in very large letters, 'Here lies Hikaru Sulu,' and in very tiny letters, 'aka George Takei.' I don't protest the inevitable.

I can't wait to be that age and hanging out with a bunch of people hanging out all day playing golf and going to the beach, all my own age. We'd be laughing and having a good time and getting loopy on our prescription drugs. Driving golf carts around. I can't wait.

I prefer to be known as an executive rather than a girl.

I enjoyed my life when I had nothing... and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.

The best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue.

Sex is energy.

You perceive yourself as being solid and physical, limited to a body. You are made up of light, endless mind. The way you see life is a limited state of mind.

A hug is an amazing thing. Its just the perfect way to show the love were feeling but cant find the words to say.

We can see the Divine in each speck of dust but that doesnt stop us from wiping it away with a wet sponge. The Divine doesnt disappear its transformed into the clean surface.

One place that I really feel comfortable is being a comedienne. I'm very socially inept. There's so many things that I can not do in life, and this is, like, the one thing that I have mastery over. It's my world. And anybody who's coming to the show, it's like they're coming because they know that this is my world.

Actors never retire, they just get less and less work.

If I had a free afternoon, I would play music, sit in my backyard, and drink coffee.

A good school teaches you resilience - that ability to bounce back.

He who could foresee affairs three days in advance would be rich for thousands of years.

A free country has nothing to fear from anyone coming in or going out while a welfare state is scared to death of poor people coming in and rich people getting out.

We stand in the shadow of Jefferson who believed that a society founded upon the rule of law and liberty was dependent upon public education and the diffusion of knowledge.

Rest, rest, shall I have not all eternity to rest.

You may have made some mistakes, but just like a parent helps their child when they are learning to walk, God will help you get right back up anytime you fall.
