PARADIGMS, SUCCESS, PROBLEMS, SOLUTIONS, PERSPECTIVE, CHANGE
Paradigms gain their status because they are more successful than their competitors in solving a few problems that the group of practitioners has come to recognize as acute. To be more successful is not, however, to be either completely successful with a single problem or notably successful with any large number.
Thomas S. Kuhn
Peace is neither the absence of war nor the presence of a disarmament agreement. Peace is a change of heart.
Richard Lamm, frmr Gov. of Colorado
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad. C. S. Lewis
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.
Abraham Lincoln, 12-1-1862, his second Message to Congress
ACTION
All the means of action the shapeless masses, the materials lie everywhere about us; what we need is the celestial fire to change the flint into crystal, bright and clear.
Longfellow
There are no birds in last year's nest!
Longefellow, It Is Not Always May, 1841
FLEXIBILITY
"The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinions."
James Russel Lowell
"A wise prince should...never remain idle in peaceful times, but industriously make good use of them, so that when fortune changes, she may find him prepared to resist her blows, and to prevail amidst adversity.
Machiavelli, Niccolo, The Prince, Duties of a Prince with Regard to the Militia.
FATE
"Nothing is eternal on the earth below;
And FORTUNE delights in constant CHANGE,
So she may more plainly show her power."
Machiavelli, Capitolo Did Fortuna
ACTION
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead

The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.
Henry Miller
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Reinhold Niebuhr
