A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.

I’m not the same man I used to be, I’m not out hell-raising, stuff like that. I am a changed man.

I’m a hard guy to live with. I’m like a caged animal. I’m up all night walking around the living room. It’s hard for me to come down from what I do.

If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

The status quo sucks.

A lot of churches have not moved with the times.

My opinion is it’s a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars.

You can jail a Revolutionary, but you can’t jail the Revolution.

The American escalation of the war in Laos provoked a response by the Communist forces, which now control more of Laos than ever before.

Because of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Most of us are about as eager to be changed as we were to be born, and go through our changes in a similar state of shock.

I’m not looking to freak people out – eating rodents or bugs. I don’t do that anymore.

I got no quarrel with them Vietcong.

Nothing on this earth is standing still. It’s either growing or it’s dying. No matter if it’s a tree or a human being.

My musical taste and image is going to change naturally. It’s not forced; I do what comes natural to me. Sometimes, I like to be dark… other times, I like to be really light and ladylike.

I’d read up on the history of our country and I’d become fascinated with the story of the Alamo. To me it represented the fight for freedom, not just in America, but in all countries.

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life.

I’m reasonably optimistic about the future, especially the future of the United States – for the century, at least.

I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.

I don’t think any country is perfect. It’s our responsibility to do the best we can do to change the things we don’t like. I think that’s part of social responsibility, and everybody is going to do that in their own way.

When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him.

You can never have a revolution in order to establish a democracy. You must have a democracy in order to have a revolution.

The schools ain’t what they used to be and never was.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

Everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.

The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.

In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.

A people do not throw their geniuses away. And if they are thrown away, it is our duty as artists and as witnesses for the future to collect them again for the sake of our children and, if necessary, bone by bone.

There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.

Everything in war is very simple. But the simplest thing is difficult.

So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their ending!

The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There’s five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.

A siege is an act of war.

You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection – you cannot cope with the future.

Morality is contraband in war.

I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.

Well, the future for me is already a thing of the past.

The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly.

All that the future holds in store for each sacred child of God will be shaped by his or her parents, family, friends, and teachers. Thus, our faith now becomes part of our posterity’s faith later.

Changing your mind is probably one of the most beautiful things people can do. And I’ve changed my mind about a lot of things over the years.

To our critical eyes, the threads of which the past is woven are, by nature, endless and indivisible. Scientifically speaking, we cannot grasp the absolute beginning of anything: everything extends backwards to be prolonged by something else.

The invasion of Iraq, particularly, gave a big shot in the arm to the jihadi extremists.

Even in high school I was very interested in history – why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.

America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn’t standing still.

Every human being is under construction from conception to death.

What is normal? Normal was yesterday. If you lose a leg, one day you’re hopping around on one leg, so you know the difference.

Soon, I’ll be like all the others. The time will come for all of us, but the ideas of the Cuban Communists will remain.

They that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils.

We have one planet in our solar system that’s habitable, and that’s the Earth, and space travel can transform things back here for the better. First of all, by just having people go to space and look back on this fragile planet we live on. People have come back transformed and have done fantastic things.

The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war.

We know that the nation that goes all-in on innovation today will own the global economy tomorrow. This is an edge America cannot surrender.

To innovate is not to reform.

I’m never in the same place for more than, like, three days at a time. Things can change from one minute to the next.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.

Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved.
