Nature
gives to every time and season some beauties of its
own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle
to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so
gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their
progress.
-- Charles Dickens
1812-1870, British
Novelist
Change
begets change. Nothing propagates so fast. If a man
habituated to a narrow circle of cares and
pleasures, out of which he seldom travels, step
beyond it, though for never so brief a space, his
departure from the monotonous scene on which he has
been an actor of importance would seem to be the
signal for instant confusion. The mine which Time
has slowly dug beneath familiar objects is sprung in
an instant; and what was rock before, becomes but
sand and dust.
-- Charles Dickens
1812-1870, British
Novelist
Change
is inevitable. Change is constant.
-- Benjamin Disraeli
1804-1881, British
Statesman, Prime Minister
The
search for static security -- in the law and
elsewhere -- is misguided. The fact is security can
only be achieved through constant change, adapting
old ideas that have outlived their usefulness to
current facts.
-- William O. Douglas
1898-1980, American
Supreme Court Justice
