I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that.

Each child is an adventure into a better life - an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city it might be better to change the locks.

Of course there is no question that Libya - and the world - will be better off with Gaddafi out of power. I along with many other world leaders have embraced that goal and will actively pursue it through non-military means. But broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake.

Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better you have to take things into your own hands.

Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.

For having lived long I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration to change opinions even on important subjects which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it.

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

Things alter for the worse spontaneously if they be not altered for the better designedly.

Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.

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.

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

If there is anything that we wish to change in the child we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.

Any change even a change for the better is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.

I've got a great team of engineers behind this race car. I've got a great bunch of mechanics that make it reliable. This car is developed to go out there and be better than the Reynard and I feel that it is.

So I did in fact spend two and a half years in the Middlesbrough car park practising skills. But if you spend four or five or six hours a day practising you get better.

You can't show me an ad on TV with hard bodies and say I have to buy that car. You have to tell me why that car is better and safer than another car.

I am going to miss that time when you take that corner better than anybody else could have taken it on that lap or you do that great qualifying lap or you make that great pass or you bring a crippled car home.

It bothers me when I hear it in a car commercial or some such. But for the most part it's better than seeing sacred music relegated to the scrap heap.

We need a number of solutions - we need more efficiency and conservation. Efficiency is a big one. I think car companies need to do a lot better in producing more efficient cars. They have the technology we just need to demand them as consumers.

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.

I need to develop a car and engineer a car in a position that feels comfortable for me and I don't think anyone can do a better job than I can in that position. The problem for me is if I can't get the car there I do struggle more than some.
