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
