Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted, it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience.
~ George Santayana ~

Why abandon a belief merely because it ceases to be true Cling to it long enough, and it will turn true again, for so it goes. Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

The cost of a things is the amount of what I call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.

The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.
~ Aldous Huxley ~
Such is the common process of marriage. A youth and maiden exchange meeting by chance, or brought together by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civilities, go home, and dream of one another. Having little to divert attention, or diversify thought, they find themselves uneasy when they are apart, and therefore conclude that they shall be happy together. They marry, and discover what nothing but voluntary blindness had before concealed they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with cruelty.
~ Samuel Johnson ~
Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first comer: there is nobility in preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and discretion, it can be safely exchanged for fidelity and happiness.
~ George Santayana ~

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
~ C. S. Lewis ~

However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do want society.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

From social intercourse are derived some of the highest enjoyments of life; where there is a free interchange of sentiments the mind acquires new ideas, and by frequent exercise of its powers, the understanding gains fresh vigor.

Each man takes care that his neighbor shall not cheat him. But a day comes when he begins to care that he does not cheat his neighbor. Then all goes well. He has changed his market-cart into a chariot of the sun.

All the means of action - the shapeless masses - the materials - lie everywhere about us. What we need is the celestial fire to change the flint into the transparent crystal, bright and clear. That fire is genius.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~
A bee never buys honey and neither does a flower produce it but they can’t do without the other. The true exchange of love and friendship is given and taken in unison with one another without expectation or sense of lessening.
~ Jignesh Tailor ~

The reality is; there is something which exist but what that something is; remains a question. Either because we are not capable to reveal it yet or because with time and movement it changes itself and has no truth in it. But what’s the reason for its existence without having or revealing any truth, that’s the evidence we need to find.
~ Zaman Ali ~
Books have the power to create, destroy or change civilizations.

Our graves lay beside our beds in a single room. When we wake each day, first they exchanged pleasantries mutely, then turn back to their walls as independent masters over us.

Destiny is most strange things in human nature,it changes when you have not even expecting it.
~ Seerat Nargis Dar ~
I know that someday, I am going to die and leave this world forever. I never had a beautiful beginning and life has always come at me with mixed feelings and experience all along. I know that I cannot change yesterday despite the knowledge I have acquired so far. I cannot go back in time to change my beginning. Nevertheless, I can do something today to influence the future and perhaps, have a happy ending.
~ Lil Destar ~
Don't change yourself so that other people will like you. Be yourself so that the right people will love you.
