Carol Burnett (1936 – )

We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.

Harrison Ford (1942 – ), quoted by Garry Jenkins in ‘Harrison Ford: Imperfect Hero’

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, M.D.

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.

 King Whitney Jr.

We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.

 Lynn Hall, Where Have All the Tigers Gone?, 1989

The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.

 Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121 AD – 180 AD), Meditations

Any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking but a full-on metamorphosis.

 Martha Beck, O Magazine, Growing Wings, January 2004

The more things change, the more they remain… insane.

 Michael Fry and T. Lewis, Over the Hedge, 05-09-04

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.

 Nelson Mandela (1918 – ), ‘A Long Walk to Freedom‘

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

 Norman Vincent Peale (1898 – 1993)
