Change is A-Comin!

Change is A-Comin!

I read a great little post by Lou Ludwig today that got me thinking about the inevitability of change.  So, of course, I had to google about it and I thought I'd share some fun and some serious things I found!

To share a giggle or two:

"It is not necessary to change.  Survival is not mandatory."  ~W. Edwards Deming

"I put a dollar in one of those change machines.  Nothing changed."  ~George Carlin

"If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change.  If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change."
  ~John A. Simone, Sr.

"There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse!  As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place.
"  ~Washington Irving

Worth further pondering:

"When you are through changing, you are through.
"  ~Bruce Barton

"Change always comes bearing gifts.
"  ~Price Pritchett

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."  ~Victor Frankl

"Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed." 
~Irene Peter

"The circumstances of the world are so variable that an irrevocable purpose or opinion is almost synonymous with a foolish one."  ~William H. Seward

And lastly, some poignant reminders:

"Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.
"  ~Marcel Proust

"Stubbornness does have its helpful features.  You always know what you are going to be thinking tomorrow."  ~Glen Beaman

"If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies."  ~Author Unknown

"The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions."  ~Ellen Glasgow
