Counter-Clockwise |
Humans are allergic to change. They love to say, "We've always done it this way." I try to fight that. That's why I have a clock on my wall that runs counter-clockwise. -- Grace Hopper |

Change is the only constant. -- Heracles |
It took me a hundred years to figure out that I can't change the world, I can only change Bessie. And, honey, that ain't so easy either. -- Bessie Delaney |
If we could recognize that change is a basic principle of life, we could greet the future with the understanding that we don't know enough to justify pessimism. -- Hazel Henderson |
A simple change in attitude can connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that went unnoticed before the change. -- Earl Nightingale |
It's not the strongest species that survive, or even the most intelligent, but the ones that are most responsive to change. -- Author Unknown |
We stop growing when we refuse to consider changing an opinion, adjusting a priority or simply listening to those with whom we disagree. Living in a cocoon is comforting, but it isn't very enriching. -- Marietta McCarty |
Many people rail against the changing tableau of life; I prefer to take a front row seat and be entertained by the new view. -- Samuel Keagan |
Everything we see in nature is a result of change; nature loves to change existing forms and make new ones. -- Marcus Aurelius |
Faced with a choice between changing one's mind and proving that there's no need to change it, most people get busy on the proof. -- John Kenneth Galbraith |
Change is inevitable; the only choice we have rests in deciding how to face it. -- Rupert Brantley |
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unaltered to discover the ways in which you yourself have changed. -- Nelson Mandela |
There's a certain relief in change, even if it's from bad to worse; as I have found in traveling in a stagecoach, it is often a comfort to shift one's position and be bruised in a new place. -- Washington Irving |
After you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully; after five years, look at it with suspicion; after ten years, throw it away and start over. -- Alfred Edward Perlman |
