Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
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.
Since we cannot change reality let us change the eyes which see reality.
I cannot say whether things will get better if we change what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.
Without accepting the fact that everything changes we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately although it is true it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience we suffer.
We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate it oppresses.
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.
God 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.
The courts cannot garnish a father's salary nor freeze his account nor seize his property on behalf of his children in our society. Apparently this is because a kid is not a car or a couch or a boat.
You cannot expect the guy who drove the car into the ditch to navigate it out of the ditch. You have to put a new driver in the seat. I'm not saying the new driver is going to be any better but we need a new driver. Kerry is the only choice.
