Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.

Great changes cannot take place in the minds of generations of men without a corresponding change in their external symbols. There must be a harmony between the inner and the outward condition of human beings, and the progress of the one must keep pace with the progress of the other.

Things aren't different. Things are things.

Radicalism is a luxury of stability; we may dare to change things only when things lie steady under our hands.

So the conservative who resists change is as valuable as the radical who proposes it—perhaps as much more valuable as roots are more vital than grafts.

I grew up an Everton fan, my whole family are Everton fans and I grew up hating Liverpool. And that hasn't changed.

If we're going to change the game it has to start at eight, nine and 10 years old. When we were that age we'd go to the pond or backyard rink and throw a puck on the ice and play five on five, or seven on seven. You get this creativity and this imagination that comes from within, just having fun on the pond. Now kids are so focused on team play, and the coaches are so focused on positioning. You can't change it at the NHL level.

I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.

The biggest difference between L.A. and Edmonton was that instead of people looking at me I was looking at them.

Unfortunately, the issues of climate change, unlike many other issues, are very subtle because the changes we observe are very, very subtle.

We have a responsibility to protect the rights of generations, of all species, that cannot speak for themselves today. The global challenge of climate change requires that we ask no less of our leaders, or ourselves.

The little grassroots people can change this world.

A change of style is a change of meaning.

If the world changed, i could not exist, and if i changed, the world could not exist

Love in your mind produces love in your life. This is the meaning of heaven. Fear in your mind produces fear in your life. This is the meaning of hell.

“‎A change of work is the best rest.”

“A central administration enervates the nations in which it exists by incessantly diminishing their public spirit. If such an administration succeeds in convincing all the disposable resources of a people, it impairs at least the renewal of those resources.”

“But in the course of thirty years a great change took place, and the North refused to perpetuate what had become the "peculiar institution" of the South, especially as it gave the South a species of aristocratic preponderance.”

“I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”

"Change takes courage."

“Change of habit cannot alter Nature.”

“When by an increase in the effectual demand, the market price of some particular commodity happens to rise a good deal above the natural price, those who employ their stocks in supplying that market are generally careful to conceal this change.”

“The great source of both the misery and disorders of human life, seems to arise from over-rating the difference between one permanent situation and another...”

“What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.”
