Men may change their climate but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense.

Happy he who learns to bear what he cannot change.

No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another either by argument or emotional appeal.

Constitutions should consist only of general provisions the reason is that they must necessarily be permanent and that they cannot calculate for the possible change of things.

God give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

You cannot change your destination overnight but you can change your direction overnight.

Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances the seasons or the wind but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.

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.

The most important loan to pay is your student loan. It's more important than your mortgage car and credit card payments. You cannot discharge student loan debt in the majority of cases.

Secure our borders first. Let us know and let us make sure the American people know that we're taking care of the important business of dealing with the illegal immigration into this country. You cannot begin to address the concerns of the people who are already here unless and until you have made certain that no more are coming in behind them.

I cannot stand the people who get wonderful starts in show business and who abuse it. Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen for example although there are plenty of others too. They are the most blessed people in the world and they don't appreciate it.

You cannot run a business or anything else on a theory.

What today's business reality makes clear is that brands cannot survive in a society that is failing economically socially ethically and morally.

I'm a mad lover of sport. You cannot say a bad word to me about sports. So I know business is involved and I know it can be cynical and of course I watch it but for me it's pure.
