Christians should be ready for a change because Jesus was the greatest changer in history.

There is at least one point in the history of any company when you have to change dramatically to rise to the next level of performance. Miss that moment - and you start to decline.

Never doubt that you can change history. You already have.

The biggest danger to the European Union comes not from those who advocate change but from those who denounce new thinking as heresy. In its long history Europe has experience of heretics who turned out to have a point.

You don't change the course of history by turning the faces of portraits to the wall.

If you take different mythologies from different cultures the names may change and the story lines may vary but there is always something in common.

I don't think that a leader can control to any great extent his destiny. Very seldom can he step in and change the situation if the forces of history are running in another direction.

If I want to knock a story off the front page I just change my hairstyle.

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.

Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself but each of us can work to change a small portion of events and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.

We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.

'Blind Curve ' the book I'm working on now sprang from a crazy incident that happened to me last year while on my book tour. I was pulled out of my car for a minor traffic violation - an incident that escalated into my being thrown into cuffs and told I was going to jail. Except in my story the hero doesn't get off as easily as I did.

Yeah I left Idaho at 17. You know I graduated high school a year early and just you know the typical story packed up my car and moved out.

In the history of the world no one has ever washed a rented car.

To say that I am organized is an understatement but my car tells a different story.

Anyone can write a story based on the kind of horror where you see a guy in car and then there's the bad guy in the back seat. It's infantile to rely on that for telling a story. That's like going to bed and thinking there's a monster under your bed. It's silly.

The energy of the crowd is insane. Twenty thousand people. It's the biggest jolt of adrenaline. It's very hard to explain. You know the old story about the woman lifting the car off her kid? It's in that realm. You can actually hurt yourself and not know it.

Police departments no longer have to pay overtime or divert resources from other projects to find out where an individual goes - all they have to do is place a tracking device on someone's car or ask a cell phone company for that individual's location history and the technology does the work for them.

If you don't have the story and the unfolding of the trajectory of the saga it's like getting in a car and not having any gas.

It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed.

If you think Abraham Lincoln became famous for inventing the town car it is time to spend a few hours on history.

I am thankful the most important key in history was invented. It's not the key to your house your car your boat your safety deposit box your bike lock or your private community. It's the key to order sanity and peace of mind. The key is 'Delete.'

I mean I'm in the business of storytelling not message making.
