Thomas Paine on change

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Change is inevitable. Change is constant.

Benjamin Disraeli1804–1881

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.

When you’re through changing, you’re through.

Bruce Fairchild Barton1886–1967
