A reporter interviewing A.J. Muste, who during the Vietnam War stood in front of the White House night after night with a candle, one rainy night asked,Mr. Muste, do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night with a candle? Muste replied, Oh, I don't do it to change the country, I do it so the country won't change me.

 It seemed that each time we would become proficient at a given task there would be a change made for no apparent reason. It sometimes appeared that changes were made simply because sufficient time had elapsed since the last change. And then our efforts would begin again from the beginning.

Mary Antin

 We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth

Thomas Carlyle

Today is not yesterday: we ourselves change; how can our works and thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same? Change, indeed is painful; yet ever needful; and if memory have its force and worth, so also has hope.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

 

Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it.

Sophocles

 

 

Men of perverse opinion do not know the excellence of what is in their hands, till someone dash it from them.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

 

We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing.

Jack Buck

 

Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out.

Epicurus quotes

 

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”

Robert Byrne

Getting caught is the mother of invention.

Tennessee Williams quotes

“Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.”

Bernard Meltzer quotes

“A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked”

Friends quotes.

“A friend is someone who, upon seeing another friend in immense pain, would rather be the one experiencing the pain than to have to watch their friend suffer.”

Friends quotes.

“I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me, I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day, as you have meant old friend of mine, to me along the way.”

Friends quotes

“Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.”

Friends quotes

“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”
