To change the name and not the letter,
Is a change for the worst, and not for the better.

ROBERT CHAMBERS

---

You gotta run, this world is standin' still
You gotta believe, you can make it up that hill
You gotta know, you can have anything
You gotta be the best that you can be
But don't change for me.

GIN BLOSSOMS

---

Turn, turn, my wheel! All things must change
To something new, to something strange;
Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
To-morrow be to-day.

HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

---

Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change?

MARCUS AURELIUS

---

The nature o' things doesn't change, though it seems as if one's own life was nothing but change.

GEORGE ELIOT

---

Any real change implies the breakup of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one an identity, the end of safety.

JAMES BALDWIN

---

A man can always change things. That's what makes him different from the barnyard critters.

MA STONE

---

How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change. And how ironic that the difficult times we fear might ruin us are the very ones that can break us open and help us blossom into who we were meant to be.

ELIZABETH LESSER

---

The very word "change" has changed. When I was young--and not just because I was young--we looked forward with confident impatience to change. Planned, controlled, beneficent change would continue to clear slums, sweep up the remains of empire, raise living and educational standards, tidy away--firmly but kindly--the last aboriginals who still raved about martial glory or the pride of wealth. Now, as it seems to me, change is set almost exclusively in the minor key, change seen overwhelmingly as loss.

NEAL ASCHERSON

---

The architecture of change involves the design and construction of new patterns, or the reconceptualization of old ones, to make new, and hopefully more productive, actions possible.

ROSABETH MOSS KANTER

---

The world's a scene of changes, and to be
Constant, in Nature were inconstancy.

ABRAHAM COWLEY

---

You can't change the world
But you can change the facts
And when you change the facts
You change points of view
If you change points of view
You may change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world

DEPECHE MODE

---

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah

MICHAEL JACKSON & LIONEL RICHIE

---

Nothing lasts. That's what makes everything ... so precious.

WILLIAM SHATNER

---

Change in all things is sweet.

ARISTOTLE

---

All that you touch
You Change.
All that you Change
Changes you.
The only lasting truth
Is Change.

OCTAVIA E. BUTLER

---

Those who object to what is new are controlled by the love of what is old.

JOHN DANIEL BARRY

---

Change moves in spirals, not circles. For example, the sun goes up and then it goes down. But everytime that happens, what do you get? You get a new day. You get a new one. When you breathe, you inhale and you exhale. But every single time that you do that, you're a little bit different then the one before. We're always changing. And its important to know that there are some changes you can't control and that there are others you can.

DAN DUNNE

---

Lasting change can only come from within.

AHSOKA TANO

---

Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that count. That's when you find out who you are.
