In all things that involve social pressures, if we want to see change we have to force the envelope outwards.
– Gary Lee Phillips
In human life, art may arise from almost any activity, and once it does so, it is launched on a long road of exploration, invention, freedom to the limits of extravagance, interference to the point of frustration, finally discipline, controlling constant change and growth.
– Susanne Langer
In prosperity prepare for a change; in adversity hope for one.
– James Burgh
In the age of knowledge and global socioeconomic exchange, goodwill and trade relations are far important to national prosperity and stability than land or military power. Socioeconomic systems that are built on exclusive ideologies, religious or ethnic purities are breeding grounds for extremism and will eventually lead to civil and international conflicts. Those countries must change or fail.
– Med Jones
In this world of change naught which comes stays and naught which goes is lost.
– Madame Swetchine
In times of profound change, the learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.
– Al Rogers
Inconsistency is a great door for the change and for the progression! Never hesitate to be inconsistent!
– Mehmet Murat ildan
Inflation is a force of pressure. If the socioeconomic system of a country is open and democratic, the pressure will dissipate via elections and peaceful change of government. On the other hand, if the system is closed, it might be able to contain the pressure for a while, but the pressure will continue to build up and at a certain point it will exceed the strength of the system causing it to crack. Rulers who learn from history and create a socioeconomic system that is open will achieve stability and continuity. Those who fight against these socioeconomic forces may win some battles in the short term, but they will lose the war.
Inside yourself or outside, you never have to change what you see, only the way you see it.
– Thaddeus Golas
Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.
– Doug Larson
It is a secret both in nature and state, that it is safer to change many things than one.
– Francis Bacon
It is always a great honour to mention a truth which has not become widespread yet. One of these truths is that man has no soul; he has only 'body' and 'mind'. Man's unshakable belief on the soul will not change this scientific truth! No belief can be higher than the scientific truths! Man can be born, can walk and work and can think without owning a mysterious and an immaterial soul! The soullessness of the man is a great tragedy both for the man and for the religion. But Man, contrary to the religion, will come out with triumph from this tragedy.
It is difficult for intellect, technology, and peace to coexist. Not because peace is static where the other two require constant stimulation. Peace can embrace change. It is because we live in a world where intellect and technology compete for power. And peace does not allow for inequality or competition.
– Andrea Scholer, author and philosopher
It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.
– W. Edwards Deming
It is not strange ... to mistake change for progress.
– Millard Fillmore
It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
– Charles Darwin
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent it is the one that is most adaptable to change.
– Charles Robert Darwin
It is often said that it's a man's world; we must change this fact and create this: It's a human's world!
It is often said that we are just a moment in time! In that case, here is the best challenge for man: To change this! To be two moments in time; three moments in time; four moments in time; to be in the whole of the time!
It is only the wisest and the stupidest that cannot change.
– Confucius
It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
– Giordano Bruno
It is still an unending source of surprise for me how a few scribbles on a blackboard or on a piece of paper can change the course of human affairs.
– Stanislaw Ulam
It often takes more courage to change one's opinion than to stick to it.
– Geoffrey F. Albert
It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.
– James Gordon
It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.
– Mignon McLaughlin
