Changes

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes

God cannot alter the past, though historians can

No man, however strong, can serve ten years as schoolmaster, priest, or senator, and remain fit for anything else

Men may change their climate, but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense

When men are easy in their circumstances, they are naturally enemies to innovations

There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady's head-dress

There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations

Loss is nothing else but change, and change is nature's delight

You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore

Time heals grief and quarrels, for we change and are no longer the same person.

Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way

Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction

The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come

Give me a lever long enough, and a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world

This life is a hospital in which every patient is possessed with a desire to change his bed

The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind

It is well for people who think to change their minds occasionally in order to keep them clean. For those who do not think, it is best to at least rearrange their prejudices once in a while

Men should stop fighting among themselves and start fighting insects

There are no shortcuts in evolution

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable
