Probably the most visible example of unintended consequences is what happens every time humans try to change the natural ecology of a place.

We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth as human truth all the maps change. There are new mountains.

As I have said for many years throughout this land we're borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Persian Gulf to burn it in ways that destroy the future of human civilization. Every bit of that has to change.

A great revolution in just one single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a society and further will enable a change in the destiny of humankind.

It is not to be expected that human nature will change in a day.

Human beings are the only animal that thinks they change who they are simply by moving to a different place. Birds migrate but it's not quite the same thing.

As human beings we do change grow adapt perhaps even learn and become wiser.

Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race has been labeled Utopian.

As human beings we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience if something has never happened before we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future but the exceptions can kill you and climate change is one of those exceptions.

The 'self-image' is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior.

Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment.

The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.

I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change.

Every human has four endowments- self awareness conscience independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose to respond to change.

The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change the way I see it is service to a fellow human being.

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.

When I climb into my car I enter my destination into a GPS device whose spatial memory supplants my own. I have photographs to store the images I want to remember books to store knowledge and now thanks to Google I rarely have to remember anything more than the right set of search terms to access humankind's collective memory.

Anything that's different from your own realm of experience as a human being whether it's driving a car or a boat or using guns anything that separates you from yourself and leads you more towards this character's existence is a big help.

People and squirrels are very different. Most people will not argue that. But I find that there is one situation in which they're very similar. And that is: when I am driving towards them in my car. Then they're kind of hard to tell apart - especially if the human is kind of hairy.

Campaign behavior for wives: Always be on time. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president.

In the end the humanities can only be defended by stressing how indispensable they are and this means insisting on their vital role in the whole business of academic learning rather than protesting that like some poor relation they don't cost much to be housed.

I think there are a lot of technocrats in the business who would much rather work with just wheels and gears and machinery. Those things interest them more than humanity and I wish them the best of luck.

Politics are about preserving relationships at the end of the day and it has nothing to do with the greater good for humanity. It's just all about business.

Anything that isn't opposed by about 40 percent of humanity is either an evil business or so unimportant that it simply doesn't matter.
