I chose honest arrogance and have seen no occasion to change. ~ ~ It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. ~ ~ Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. ~ ~ If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results. ~ ~ Any change is resisted because bureaucrats have a vested interest in the chaos in which they exist. ~ ~ A man who is very busy seldom changes his opinions. ~ ~ We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It was not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my lfe to this child. ~ ~ We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It was not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life to this child. ~ ~ Exchange is creation. ~ ~ The fear of making permanent commitments can change the mutual love of husband and wife into two loves of self-two loves existing side by side, until they end in separation. ~ ~ An apology might help, but you can change your life without one. ~ ~ The search for static security - in the law and elsewhere - is misguided. The fact is security can only be achieved through constant change, adapting old ideas that have outlived their usefulness to current facts ~ ~ Revolution: in politics, an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment. ~ ~ Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it ~ ~ I have left almost to the last the magic of water, an element which owing to its changefulness of form and mood and colour and to the vast range of its effects is ever the principal source of landscape beauty, and has like music a mysterious influence over the mind ~ ~ Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. ~ ~ I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon ~ ~ Repeal that [welfare] law, and you will soon see a change in their manners. ... Six days shalt thou labor, though one of the old commandments long treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept; industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them. ~ ~ Change of weather is the discourse of fools. ~ ~ Day is like day as two beads in a rosary, unless changes of weather form the only variety ~ ~ Education and communication are vitally important in order to impress each individual of his or her responsibility regarding the healthy future of the Earth. The best way for students to recognize that their action can make a difference is to have projects organized by the school or community on which the students can work. Once convinced that they can help, people tend to change both their attitude and their behavior. New attitudes towards the environment will be reflected in decisions at home and in corporate boardrooms around the world. ~ ~ How often we speak of the great silences of the wilderness and of the importance of preserving them and the wonder and peace to be found there. When I think of them, I see the lakes and rivers of the North, the muskegs and expenses of tundra, the barren lands beyond all roads. I see the mountain ranges of the West and the high, rolling ridges of the Appalacians. I picture the deserts of the Southwest and their brilliant panoramas of color, the impenetrable swamp lands of the South. They will always be there and their beauty may not change, but should their silences be broken, they will never be the same. ~ ~ One might consider an ideal series of parks as you might a great water system, using the metaphor of green water in massive lakes emptying into larger reverse and small creeks, rushing narrowly over waterfalls and following placidly and broadly through the flat countryside in a continuous sequence of parklands. Then it curls around and through cities in man-determined forms, held back by reservoirs, channeled over aqueducts and finally rising -- as in Rome, in fountains, small ones in dusty corners and large, baroque ones in mighty plazas. Thus, the fields and trees of parks should be, as water, not scattered oases such as Yosemite, but a weaving, interconnected green mass that changes in size and purpose, but always inter-penetrates forcibly but gently the urban, suburban, and rural scene. ~ ~ Never doubt that a small group of thoughtfully committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. ~ ~ We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy. ~ |
