T'S OFTEN MORE IMPORTANT TO CHANGE OUR MINDS AND OPINIONS THAN TO STICK WITH THEM Today is not yesterday; how can our works and thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same? Change, indeed, is painful, yet ever needful. -Thomas Carlyle Security can only be achieved through constant change, through discarding old ideas that have outlived their usefulness and adapting others to current facts. -William O. Douglas You had better be ready to change your mind when needed. -Henry B. Wilson
