God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
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.
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.
Sometimes good things fall apart so better things could fall together.
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.
To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.
All great changes are preceded by chaos.
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.
You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler.
He who rejects change is the architect of decay.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.
If you don't change direction, you end up where you are headed.
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can't make them change if they don't want to, just like when they do want to, you can't stop them.
