The world is not a static place. People change, evolve.

In most organizations, change comes in only two flavors: trivial and traumatic. Review the history of the average organization and you'll discover long periods of incremental fiddling punctuated by occasional bouts of frantic, crisis-driven change.

Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science - in all of biology.

It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.

As human beings we do change, grow, adapt, perhaps even learn and become wiser.

Change is not merely necessary to life - it is life.

Social change comes through people.

Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.

For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

Change brings opportunity.

Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.

Just as your own existence is unlikely and far from inevitable, the evolution of modern humans as a species depended on a whole string of chance events - some happening in the environments our ancestors inhabited, and some inside their own bodies, including random mutations in their DNA.

Become a student of change. It is the only thing that will remain constant.

You have to look at history as an evolution of society.

Change in all things is sweet.

Change is inevitable. Change is constant.

Change comes from reflection.

Change will come slowly, across generations, because old beliefs die hard even when demonstrably false.

Change is the end result of all true learning.

Change means that what was before wasn't perfect. People want things to be better.

Change begets change as much as repetition reinforces repetition.

There's almost no food that isn't genetically modified. Genetic modification is the basis of all evolution. Things change because our planet is subjected to a lot of radiation, which causes DNA damage, which gets repaired, but results in mutations, which create a ready mixture of plants that people can choose from to improve agriculture.

Change can either challenge or threaten us. Your beliefs pave your way to success or block you.

The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it.

Change and growth is so painful. But it's so necessary for us to evolve.

Change is always good. It brings you to a new place.

Change is unavoidable. You change either to stay ahead or to catch up.

Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.

All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.

Don't fear change - embrace it.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

To survive and even thrive in a changing world, nature offers another great lesson: the survivors are those who at the least adapt to change, or even better learn to benefit from change and grow intellectually and personally. That means careful listening and constant learning.

Change is the principal feature of our age and literature should explore how people deal with it. The best science fiction does that, head-on.

The more specific idea of Evolution now reached is - a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

Change is the only constant, and to turn one's back and pretend that it is not coming is an exercise in futility.

Another cause of change, one less noticeable but fundamental, is the modern growth of population closely connected with scientific and medical discoveries. It is interesting that the United Nations has set up a special Commission to study this question.

History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical.

Change should be a friend. It should happen by plan, not by accident.

Change is inevitable. Change for the better is a full-time job.

Scientific knowledge is in perpetual evolution; it finds itself changed from one day to the next.

Life is a moving, breathing thing. We have to be willing to constantly evolve. Perfection is constant transformation.
