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

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.

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.

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

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.

People like me who are reform-minded ignore the people who say, 'Just criticize and don't do anything and let's win by default.' That's ridiculous.

What you think of a name depends so much on the people you know by that name.

In England, everyone believes if you think, then you don't feel. But all my novels are about joining together thinking and feeling.

Remain calm serene always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.

It was Dr. King's tireless activism that fostered our modern way of relating to one another.

To keep your skin looking healthy and young, wear a hat.

I lost a company. So what? It's just stuff. Can't take it with you.

Everything I know about the FBI came from movies! Right? The idea of these kind of uptight, conservative guys whose ties are tied too tight.

I love doing concert music.

I wish to Christ I could make up a really great lie. Sometimes, after an interview, I say to myself, 'Man, you were so honest - can't you have some fun? Can't you do some really down and dirty lying?' But the puritan in me thinks that if I tell a lie, I'll be punished.

I don't feel as if I belong to an age group.

Making good television is what Simon Cowell does. That's his business.

When a person is going through hell, and she encounters someone who went through hellish hell and survived, then she can say, 'Mine is not so bad as all that. She came through, and so can I.'

I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.

Love can change a person the way a parent can change a baby awkwardly and often with a great deal of mess.

I was in and out of Yes six times. Someone once likened it to Liz Taylor and Richard Burton's marriage where we couldn't live with or without each other. There's an element of truth, and I last left in 2005.

The 20th century is a period defined by cultural and artistic movements. However, the 21st century creative-scape that we occupy now doesn't really have movements in the same way. Instead it's made up of diverse individuals working across various platforms simultaneously; art, architecture, film, music and literature.

Canadian comedians are generally more well-rounded... They have to do a lot more. In order to have a career in this country, you have to do everything. And in the States you can narrow-cast, you can be just a sitcom performer or a stand-up comedian or a sketch performer.

A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a ton of explanation.

A volunteer is worth twenty pressed men
