On Change

I was thinking about some changes in my life - some big ones, little ones, even changes that I don't know are happening. Change is probably the one thing you can depend on in life, so I thought that this would be an interesting 'research' topic. Looking through some quotes, every single one seemed 100% true, but I thought that I would share a few. (The first is from my memory after watching a great, touching movie that has stuck with me for the longest time.)



Change can be so constant, you don't even feel the difference until there is one. - Life as a House


The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. - Charles Dubois


Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?" - George Bernard Shaw


Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. - Leo Tolstoy


The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. - M Scott Peck


Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.


We know what we are, but know not what we may be. - William Shakespeare
