In honour of Ned’s now legendary Quotations Quotient I am delighted to continue his weekly quotable column on our blog. 

The power of quotations is that they cause us to pause; they challenge, question or confirm the way we think by using eloquence and brevity as their tools.  Quotations summarise a whole way of thinking in just a few words and are often inspiring as a result.  Successful marketing is similar in its success: it communicates a clear message in a memorable and sometimes interrupting way.

I hope that this section continues to inspire and interrupt your weekly thoughts…it seemed right that this week’s theme begins with “change.”

• “There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction” (Winston Churchill)
• “Change is inevitable – except from a vending machine” (Robert C. Gallagher)
• “If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.” (Mary Engelbreit)
• “Thought has been constantly evolving and we can’t say when that system began” (David Bohm)
• “The art of progress is to conserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order” (Alfred North Whitehead)

Borrowed with pride from all over the place.
