"The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinions." ― James Russell Lowell Topic(s): Change More From James Russell Lowell "Endurance is the crowning quality, And patience all the passion of great hearts." "On one issue at least, men and women agree; they both distrust women." "Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof; it is temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in statesmanship." More In Change "As human beings, we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience, if something has never happened before, we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future, but the exceptions can kill you and climate change is one of those exceptions."― Al Gore "You can love more than one person in your life, but things will be different. There’ll be a different dynamic. Needs and desires change."― Francesca Annis "In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it."― Cal Thomas
