Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

Maria Robinson

The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.

Flora Whittemore

Every beginning is a consequence - every beginning ends something.

Paul Valery

Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.

Anne Frank

He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.

Francis Bacon

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

Anais Nin

If you want to truly understand something, try to change it.

Kurt Lewin

People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing. A leader's job is to help people have vision of their potential.

John Porter

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

Lynn Hall

Those who expect moments of change to be comfortable and free of conflict have not learned their history.

Joan Wallach Scott

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

Alan Cohen

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Alice Walker

The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.

Alfred North Whitehead

It doesn't work to leap a twenty-foot chasm in two ten-foot jumps.

American Proverb

We change, whether we like it or not.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

When you're finished changing, you're finished.

Benjamin Franklin

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Anatole France

It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.

W. Edwards Deming

Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed.

Irene Peter

Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations.

Faith Baldwin

After you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion. And after ten years, throw it away and start all over.

Alfred Edward Perlman

All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.

Ellen Glasgow
