  1. Let's not burn the universities yet. After all, the damage they do might be worse. H. L. Mencken

  2. We are living in 1937, and our universities, I suggest, are not half-way out of the fifteenth century. We have made hardly any changes in our conception of university organization, education, graduation, for a century - for several centuries. H. G. Wells

  3. They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.       - Andy Warhol

  4. Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.  ~Robert C. Gallagher

  5. It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.  ~Author unknown, commonly misattributed to Charles Darwin

  6. Those who expect moments of change to be comfortable and free of conflict have not learned their history.  ~Joan Wallach Scott

  7. Changing a college curriculum is like moving a graveyard--you never know how many friends the dead have until you try to move them! If you want to make enemies, try to change something.  ~Woodrow Wilson

  8. There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things."— Niccolo MachiavelliThe Prince (1532)

  9. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."— Margaret Mead

  10. The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday’s logic."— Peter Drucker

  11. 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. C. S. Lewis

  12. Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly. Francis Bacon

  13. When you are through changing, you are through. Bruce Barton
