It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change, that lives within the means available and works cooperatively against common threats.

The world will not be inherited by the strongest, it will be inherited by those most able to change.

It is not the biggest, the brightest or the best that will survive, but those who adapt the quickest.

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.

One of the things that can keep you from going away is an openness to change. That's the point.

Life is an instinct for growth, for survival, for the accumulation of forces, for power.
