Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions.

By learning about my body and making small subtle changes I find out what I enjoy and what is effective. I'm always finessing: adjusting my diet and my workouts. You have to figure out which exercises are fun and interesting and stimulate your brain - or else you'll never keep at them.

It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection.

When the fabric of society is so rigid that it cannot change quickly enough adjustments are achieved by social unrest and revolutions.

I didn't think that college math was for me. I didn't think I'd be able to hack it. And that perception of math not being for girls not being for girls who see themselves as socially well adjusted has got to change.

There are things I can't force. I must adjust. There are times when the greatest change needed is a change of my viewpoint.

The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.

The pessimist complains about the wind the optimist expects it to change the realist adjusts the sails.

I can't change the direction of the wind but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
