Policies are many, Principles are few, Policies will change, Principles never do.

A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.

The good old days, when each idea had an owner, are gone forever.

In this outward and physical ceremony we attest once again to the inner and spiritual strength of our Nation. As my high school teacher, Miss Julia Coleman, used to say: ‚We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.‘

The men who followed Him were unique in their generation. They turned the world upside down because their hearts had been turned right side up. The world has never been the same.

For 25 years countless people have come to the U.N. climate conferences begging our world leaders to stop emissions and clearly that has not worked as emissions are continuing to rise. So I will not beg the world leaders to care for our future. I will instead let them know change is coming whether they like it or not.

I can remember when I first went into the Himalayan area way back in 1951. Money, for instance, was not important at all to the local people. But now, finance has become just as important to them as it is to us, and this is a change maybe not for the better.

Suppose I criticise Iran. What impact does that have? The only impact it has is in fortifying those who want to carry out policies I don’t agree with, like bombing.

I feel like I’m changing pop culture.

Custom is our nature. What are our natural principles but principles of custom?

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

You can’t move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn’t mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.

Chinese people themselves, they really want change.

If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.

Change in all things is sweet.

I always like to take my time and examine the two candidates, see not only the two candidates but the policies they will bring in, the people they will bring in, who they might appoint to the Supreme Court, and look at the whole range of issues before making a decision.

I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.

I think Bible principles are principles for life.

I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with; something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace; some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.

Music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment.

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

Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.

Our affections as well as our bodies are in perpetual flux.

I am desperate for change – now – not in 8 years or 12 years, but right now.

Paris by night is a nightmare now. It is not a cliche anymore.

A revolution is not a bed of roses.

It’s like a muscle – if you stop going to the gym or stop running, you get weak. The military teaches you these great values, but we don’t keep up the discipline on our own, and we lose it. So wherever you go, keep that discipline up.

When we value correct principles, we have truth – a knowledge of things as they are.

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

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

I suppose we need not go mourning the buffaloes. In the nature of things, they had to give place to better cattle, though the change might have been made without barbarous wickedness.

You cannot step into the same river twice.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent.

I am confident that when the facts and policies have been examined, when the record of performances have been reviewed, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will once again be elected to lead our beloved country to a better future.

All things are only transitory.

We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die; a sustainable world. It could be great.

A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.

Character isn’t something you were born with and can’t change, like your fingerprints. It’s something you weren’t born with and must take responsibility for forming.

I disagree with everything I used to say.

I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.

Governments don’t control people like they used to.

The ‚morality of compromise‘ sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don’t compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

There is a fundamental question we all have to face. How are we to live our lives; by what principles and moral values will we be guided and inspired?

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.

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.

The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.

What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.

I’m always disappointed when people don’t live up to their potential. I know that a number of people look down on themselves and consequently on everybody who looks like them. But that, too, can change.

The Christian’s Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.

Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.

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.

If you’re sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign.

There are three constants in life… change, choice and principles.

I think my message to the politicians who have within their power the ability to make change is, ‚Do you really, really not care about the future of your great-grandchildren? Because if we let the world continue to be destroyed the way we are now, what’s the world going to be like for your great-grandchildren?‘

For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.

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

Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government.

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.
