Change Quotes

Rick Springfield

Father, Writing, After

I do genuinely believe that the political system is not linear. When it reaches a tipping point fashioned by a critical mass of opinion, the slow pace of change we're used to will no longer be the norm. I see a lot of signs every day that we're moving closer and closer to that tipping point.
Al Gore

Moving, Political, Opinion

Injuries obviously change the way you approach the game.
Brett Favre

Game, Approach, Injuries

I had a very insightful friend who warned me back when I stopped reading scripts, 'It's easier to change directions while you're still moving.' If you stop, it's harder to get started again. I still don't think I made the wrong decision, but he was right.
Debra Winger

Moving, Friend, Decision

Styles, like everything else, change. Style doesn't.
Linda Ellerbee

Everything, Else, Style

We have no reason to think that climate change is harmful if you look at the world as a whole. Most places, in fact, are better off being warmer than being colder. And historically, the really bad times for the environment and for people have been the cold periods rather than the warm periods.
Freeman Dyson

Bad, Reason, Whole

It's better to get smart than to get mad. I try not to get so insulted that I will not take advantage of an opportunity to persuade people to change their minds.
John H. Johnson

Smart, Try, Mad

If you don't like the way the world is, you change it. You have an obligation to change it. You just do it one step at a time.
Marian Wright Edelman

Time, Step, Obligation

I wrote seven Myron Bolitar novels in a row, and I never want to write a Myron book where he just solves a crime. Every one of them I want to be personal, and I want him to grow and change. The problem with that is, it makes the series limited, you can't write a series where a guy is always going through some kind of crisis.
Harlan Coben

Crisis, Book, Him

Change is not a destination, just as hope is not a strategy.
Rudy Giuliani

A leopard does not change his spots, or change his feeling that spots are rather a credit.
Ivy Compton-Burnett

Feeling, Rather, Credit

Gene Tierney

Pink

I'd be happy to be taken as a woman - and that's what I was initially trying to do when I started throwing on dresses and stuff. But that wasn't going to happen because everyone kept calling me sir. So I thought I'd change the method and just start wearing what I wanted to wear.
Eddie Izzard

Happy, Woman, Happen

Governments cannot make marriages or turn feckless individuals into responsible citizens. That needs another kind of change agent.
Jonathan Sacks

Cannot, Another, Turn

I don't want to clip on the armour every morning. I've seen some politicians do this and they get a bit mangled and bitter. I just refuse to do that. I refuse to be angry or bitter or complain, and I remain open. I may sometimes be a bit too open but I'm not going to change that one bit.
Nick Clegg

Morning, Angry, May

Much can and must be done by governments, but they cannot of themselves change lives.
Jonathan Sacks

Done, Cannot, Themselves

Most of what needs to be changed in the euro zone can be done without treaty changes. The demand for treaty change is as political as it is legal and I don't think it's going to happen soon.
Nick Clegg

Legal, Political, Done

Jonathan Sacks

Time, Moral, Dying

What creates freedom? A revolution in the streets? Mass protest? Civil war? A change of government? The ousting of the old guard and its replacement by the new? History, more often than not, shows that hopes raised by such events are often dashed, sooner rather than later.
Jonathan Sacks

History, War, Freedom

Tom Hanks

Bad, Important, Saying
