Change is Lord of the Universe

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

If you realize that all things change there is nothing you will try to hold onto.

There is nothing permanent except change.

Nothing endures but change.

Since 'tis Nature's law to change,
Constancy alone is strange.

There is nothing in this world constant but inconstancy.in other words change is the only unchanged phenomemon.

Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again. The world is not yet exhausted; let me see something tomorrow which I never saw before.

In a higher world it is otherwise; but here below to live is to change, and to be perfect is to change often.

Change means chaos, but it also means life.
