Feeling unique is what we all have in common, it’s the thing that’s always the same.

For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.

We always did feel the same, we just saw it from a different point of view...

It's always the same, sometimes.

People don't change, their situations change. My circumstances can improve or grow worse but it's always myself in the midst of them, unchanged in my private essence.

Always remember you are a constant in your life.

You're always you, and that don't change, and you're always changing, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you've got.

No one ever saw Cato change, no matter how often the state changed: he kept himself the same in all circumstances—in the praetorship, in defeat, under accusation, in his province, on the platform, in the army, in death.

Maybe everyone stays the same inside, even when their life looks nothing like what they once had, or even imagined.

We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.

Few of us are granted the grace to know ourselves, and until we do, maybe the best we can do is be consistent.

The picture that we have of ourselves — our self-concept — will always determine how we respond to life.

Vulnerability in the face of constant change is what we share, whatever our present condition.
