A quote about change anyone?

Question

i have to write a speech for my last day in secondary school..sort of a trip down memory lane before we go on a day out to scotland.. i want the key theme to be how we have all changed over the yerars and i have asll the inside jokes and happy stuff i want to say sorted...but what i need is a reallly deep quote about change or education or the moving on of life or something..something short and sweet but deep from someonme prestigous that will stick with people and set the tone?? anyone any ideas??? i was thinking something like "change is temporal but what we become is always present and taht is what this school has given us..the haven for temporal change so we may take with us our experiences which have made us who we are"(it something deep i thought of but i think it too wordy and don't make much sense..also a bit corny) could someone offer something better and by someone note worthy??

Answer 1

"Times change and we with time".  The proverb was traced back in English to John Lyly's Euphues, Anatomy of Wit (1579).  I read it in a book titled, America's Popular Sayings.  It comes from the Latin proverb, Tempora Mutantur nos et metamur in illis ("Times change , and we change with them.")

Also from that book is, "Time waits for no man, but no man - or woman - need wait for time."
