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

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.

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.

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.

There is only one happiness in this life: to love and be loved.

I believe there's only one autobiography you can do.

We should keep on going along the path of globalization. Globalization is good... when trade stops, war comes.

This whole theory of alienation that intellectuals have been passing on, really is just to stop a lot of ham acting. If you fill something with a proper emotion, it didn't worry him at all.

I have spent too long training myself to speak with an American accent, it's ingrained. I spend 16 hours a day on set speaking with an American accent. Now, when I try to speak with an Aussie accent, I just sound like a caricature of myself.

In any crass political calculation, drilling for oil will always win more votes than putting a price on carbon. But if I recall what I was taught in fifth-grade American government class, we elect presidents to do more than crass political calculations.

My parents are aging and there are difficult issues. It's strange to have children at the beginning of life and parents nearing the end.

The most important thing in an argument, next to being right, is to leave an escape hatch for your opponent, so that he can gracefully swing over to your side without too much apparent loss of face.

People used to say I'm weak in comedy. But, with 'Mahesh Khaelja' and 'Dookudu,' I have proved that I am good at comedy.

How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.

The act of war is the last option of a democracy.

Why am I so soft in the middle when the rest of my life is so hard?

I've had cameos on some cool shows.

There's never any ability to plan a personal life.

Daydreaming is one of the key sources of poetry - a poem often starts as a daydream that finds its way into language - and walking seems to bring a different sort of alertness, an associative kind of thinking, a drifting state of mind.

The Women's Sports Foundation holds a unique position in developing opportunities for girls and women of all abilities to be active whether recreationally or competitively, and I'm excited to help lead the organization to impact even more lives. It is an honor to continue to build the legacy created by Billie Jean King and all of our leaders.

The sort of poetry I seek resides in objects man can't touch.

It really takes likeable superstars to get the attention of the masses.

In securing the future of the planet, we secure happiness for ourselves. One of the aims of the Greens is to turn around the tide of pessimism amongst the young people of the world.

I want to please every woman, every time.
