Quotations about change

Quotations about change inform us that change is - well, almost - a Law of life. Almost, because there is also something that is changeless. That something is within. Outside of us, that is, in the world - everything changes. Some people call it a fact of life. Often, we like to avoid change and are afraid of changes in our relationships, health, job, social standings and so on. We do not want to grow old and get sick and ultimately die. Yet, we know that this is what has been happening to all life forms, since the day '0'. Quotations about change help us accept change and understand it deeply so we can face life in all its facets with courage and integrity. Enjoy.

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

Nelson Mandela

Nothing in the world is permanent, and we're foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we're still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy.

W. Somerset Maugham

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