“The tragedy is not that humanity's violent by nature; the tragedy is that we know we are and are capable of changing; but don't.”
Nicholas A. Ferroni
“The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it. The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth and development. The error of Louis XIV was that he thought human nature would always be the same. The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.”
Oscar Wilde
“Human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature cannot be changed.”
Abraham Lincoln
“There is nothing that can be changed more completely than human nature when the job is taken in hand early enough.”
George Bernard Shaw
“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.”
Dale Carnegie
“There a big difference between being smart and being brilliant. Most smart people are incapable of enjoying those singular moments of clarity that will change the world, that will shift paradigms, that will forever memorialize that brilliance.”
Qui Vuong (Empowermentalist)
“The evil is not that you cannot change human nature. The evil is that human nature cannot change you.”
Barrows Dunham
