Change Quote by James Scott Bell
““Transformation is about change, and change needs to be proven. People can talk a good game. Someone can say he's sorry for stealing and wants to go straight. But until the thief returns the goods, we don't believe he's a changed person. Change does involve an inner realization. But then, to prove itself, it must work outward in a visual form.””
