“Things do not change we change.”— Henry David Thoreau Related Quotes “Look at all the buses now that want exact change, exact change. I figure if I give them exact change, they should take me exactly where I want to go.”– George C. Wallace “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.”– Marilyn Ferguson “Human beings are the only animal that thinks they change who they are simply by moving to a different place. Birds migrate, but it’s not quite the same thing.”– Doug Coupland
