Steve Jobs’ words about changing the world
And a few more quotes about change
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”
— Antole France
“Revolution is about reimagining common sense.”
— Nika Dubrovsky
“The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.”
— John Keats
“I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.”
— Aldous Huxley
“… social change, personal change, inner change, outer change are intimately related and they happen in tandem.”
— Charles Eisenstein
“When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation, or accept it, all else is madness.“
— Eckhart Tolle
“Anytime you’re gonna grow, you’re gonna lose something. You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe. You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity.”
— James Hillman
“You must allow yourself to outgrow and depart from certain eras of your life with a gentle sort of ruthlessness.”
— Katy Maxwell
“The true work of improving things is in the little achievements of the day and thats what you need to enjoy to stick in that field… The people that are the most giving, hardworking, are capable of making this world better usually don’t have the ego and ambition to be a leader, they don’t see any interest in superficial rewards, they don’t care if their name ever appeared in the press. They actually enjoy the process of helping others, they are in the moment”
— An excerpt from a conversation in the movie “Before Sunset”
“I’ve noticed something about people who make a difference in the world: They hold the unshakable conviction that individuals are extremely important, that every life matters. They get excited over one smile. They are willing to feed one stomach, educate one mind, and treat one wound. They aren’t determined to revolutionize the world all at once; they’re satisfied with small changes. Over time, though, the small changes add up. Sometimes they even transform cities and nations, and yes, the world.”
