Famous quotes containing the word change:
“I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Jaques. The worst fault you have is to be in love.
Orlando. ‘Tis a fault I will not change for your best
virtue.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
