Richard Dawkins Quotes

Life is a work in progress.

We are starting a process of decolonization in Bolivia. All this is bringing about change and we will continue.

Change is a continuous process. You cannot assess it with the static yardstick of a limited time frame. When a seed is sown into the ground, you cannot immediately see the plant. You have to be patient. With time, it grows into a large tree. And then the flowers bloom, and only then can the fruits be plucked.

Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor.

Reformation, like education, is a journey, not a destination.

Reform is not a one-night stand.

There are no shortcuts in evolution.

The trouble with progress is that it tends to happen slowly and quietly. It's not necessarily going to shout about itself, or make the nightly news like a disaster or a scandal would.

There certainly have been a lot of changes, although they come in such gradations that most people have either forgotten, or, if they're too young, they never knew about them in the first place.

… evolution over revolution.

It takes a long time to bring about change.

Change is the process by which the future invades our lives

I always think that change is like a daisy chain.

A transition, by definition, means you start in one place and finish in another.

Old, deeply engrained systems take time to change, but we can't leave it to time.

Small changes lead to big ones. But big changes - trying to become a different person overnight - usually lead to defeat.

Life is an evolution.

Change won't happen overnight.

We are not evolved but evolving.

Growth is the process of responding positively to change.

No evolution is accomplished in nature without revolution. Periods of very slow changes are succeeded by periods of violent changes. Revolutions are as necessary for evolution as the slow changes which prepare them and succeed them.

The process of transformation consists mostly of decay.

Change is usually preceded by some kind of drift.

Change is a process not an event.

Transformation is a journey without a final destination.
