Laurence J. Peter Quotes

Transformations is the word. We can do the work of transformation only in the present moment

Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.

It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.

Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass. Change may be announced by a small ache, so that you think you're catching cold. Or you may feel a faint disgust for something you loved yesterday. It may even take the form of a hunger that peanuts won't satisfy. Isn't overeating said to be one of the strongest symptoms of discontent. And isn't discontent the lever of change?

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.

He is not Brown any longer. He is an angel of light.

Change is the handmaiden Nature requires to do her miracles with.

All Things Change (Omnium Rerum Vicissitudo)

Transformation literally means going beyond your form.

Second chances, miracles, angels, faith and religion all promise us a way of doing things better to smooth over the regrets and hope we make better decisions in the future. We all want to become better than who we are now, and we're all continuing to know ourselves better.

The sense of endings as well as beginnings in the air is now so obvious in so many dimensions of our experience that a critical mass has been reached.

Remember that transformation is a present activity.

It's only when caterpillarness is done that one becomes a butterfly. That again is part of this paradox. You cannot rip away caterpillarness. The whole trip occurs in an unfolding process of which we have no control.

The process of transformation consists mostly of decay.

The same Jesus Who turned water into wine can transform your home, your life, your family, and your future. He is still in the miracle-working business, and His business is the business of transformation.

Everything teaches transition, transference, metamorphosis: therein is human power, in transference, not in creation; & therein is human destiny, not in longevity but in removal. We dive & reappear in new places.

Children are caterpillars and adults are butterflies. No butterfly ever remembers what it felt like being a caterpillar.

One moment the world is as it is. The next, it is something entirely different. Something it has never been before.

Transformation is a journey without a final destination.

Soft as the earth is mankind and both need to be altered.

Nothing is, everything is becoming.

Your history is animal. Your future is divinity. Right now, you are like a pendulum, swinging between the two.

I am no longer what I was. I will remain what I have become.

Setting is preliminary to brighter rising; decay is a process of advancement; death is the condition of higher and more fruitful life.

Everything possessed the power to transform itself, or else, and what meant more, to be transformed.
