William Pollard Quotes

Why should anyone be afraid of change? What can take place without it? What can be more pleasing or more suitable to universal nature? Can you take your bath without the firewood undergoing a change?

We accept the verdict of the past until the need for change cries out loudly enough to force upon us a choice between the comforts of inertia and the irksomeness of action.

There is an enormous inertia that prevents people from change.

Every change is being forced upon us.

One must not hesitate to innovate and change with the times. The leader who stands still is not progressing, and he will not remain a leader for long.

A life without change is not a life; it is a stagnant pool.

I think that all human systems require continuous renewal. They rigidify. They get stuff in the joints. They forget what they cared about.
