Change

Famous quotes containing the word change:

    I will not change my horse with any that treads but on four
    pasterns.... When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk; he
    trots the air.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is easier to move rivers and mountains than to change a person’s basic nature.
    Chinese proverb.

    Wisdom is not just knowing fundamental truths, if these are unconnected with the guidance of life or with a perspective on its meaning. If the deep truths physicists describe about the origin and functioning of the universe have little practical import and do not change our picture of the meaning of the universe and our place within it, then knowing them would not count as wisdom.
    Robert Nozick (b. 1938)
