I don't have ideas so much as there are things which constantly evolve... there are various threads or layers, if you like, which change. (Harrison Birtwistle)
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. View quote
Alan Watts
Change has no constituency-and a perceived revolution has even less. View quote
Jack Welch
I wanted to change the rules of engagement, asking for more- from fewer. I was insisting that we had to have only the best people...If you wanted excellence, at a minimum, the ambience had to reflect excellence. View quote
Jack Welch
Arrogance is a killer, and wearing ambition on one's sleeve can have the same effect. There is a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence. Legitimate self-confidence is a winner. The true test of self-confidence is the courage to be open-to welcome change and new ideas regardless of their source. Self-confident people aren't afraid to have their views challenged. They relish the intellectual combat that enriches ideas. View quote
Jack Welch
When the amount of change externally exceeds the amount of change internally, the end is in sight. View quote
Jack Welch
At the moment our human world is based on the suffering and destruction of millions of non-humans. To perceive this and to do something to change it in personal and public ways is to undergo a change of perception akin to a religious conversion. Nothing can ever be seen in quite the same way again because once you have admitted the terror and pain of other species you will, unless you resist conversion, be always aware of the endless permutations of suffering that support our society.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Bernie Sanders
It is the media that controls the boundaries of what is politically permissible, so better to change the media. Profit motives work against it, but if we can have the audience understand that most other forms of journalism are not credible, then it may be a forced move. View quote
Julian Assange
The west has fiscalised its basic power relationships through a web of contracts, loans, shareholdings, bank holdings and so on. In such an environment it is easy for speech to be "free" because a change in political will rarely leads to any change in these basic instruments. Western speech, as something that rarely has any effect on power, is, like badgers and birds, free. (Julian Assange)
Our fathers valued change for the sake of its results; we value it in the act. View quote
Alice Meynell
The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it. View quote
E. B. White
If the world is to change for the better it must start with a change in human consciousness, in the very humanness of modern man. View quote
Václav Havel
When we consider the being and substance of that universe in which we are immutably set, we shall discover that neither we ourselves nor any substance doth suffer death. For nothing is in fact diminished in its substance, but all things, wandering through infinite space, undergo change of aspect. View quote
Giordano Bruno
Everything that makes diversity of kinds, of species, differences, properties... everything that consists in generation, decay, alteration and change is not an entity, but a condition and circumstance of entity and being, which is one, infinite, immobile, subject, matter, life, death, truth, lies, good and evil. View quote
Giordano Bruno
A sense of security, of well-being, of summer warmth pervades my memory. That robust reality makes a ghost of the present. The mirror brims with brightness; a bumblebee has entered the room and bumps against the ceiling. Everything is as it should be, nothing will ever change, nobody will ever die. View quote
Vladimir Nabokov
My top priority is for people to understand that they have the power to change things themselves. View quote
Aung San Suu Kyi
I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself? View quote
Yogi Berra
In our domain we neither allow any Muslim to change his religion nor allow any other religion to propagate its faith. View quote
Abul Ala Maududi
Changes in the structure of society are not brought about solely by massive engines of doctrine. The first flash of insight which persuades human beings to change their basic assumptions is usually contained in a few phrases. (Kenneth Clark)
However much the various phases of the French Revolution may have modelled themselves on Roman history - the early phase on Republican virtue, the later on Imperial grandeur - the fact remains that classicism depended on a fixed and rational philosophy; whereas the spirit of the Revolution was one of change and of emotion. View quote
Kenneth Clark
If you dislike change, you're going to dislike irrelevance even more. View quote
Eric Shinseki
It is a secret both in nature and state, that it is safer to change many things than one. View quote
Francis Bacon
The Spirit tells me - Fidel Castro will die - in the 90s. Oooh my! Some will try to kill him and they will not succeed. But there will come a change in his physical health, and he will not stay in power, and Cuba will be visited of God. View quote
