We needed a mixture proverb

 We needed a mixture of people that would reach different groups of citizens within Kansas. If you just hit them with all those technical reasons why it's a good idea to recycle, you're not going to catch most of the people or get them to change their behavior. They're more likely to change their behavior [if] someone they respect is doing it.

 I learned a long time ago that no one can change another person's behavior, but we can give them the tools, resources, and understanding to change their own behavior.

 We have to change our behavior, ... We drink too much, smoke too much, eat the wrong foods and don’t exercise. We can change racial disparities by changing our behavior.

 (The officers) may be racist and they may be bigots. I can't change their hearts. But we can control their behavior. In controlling that behavior you have to carry that message to the people in command. Biased-based enforcement will not be tolerated,

 Behavior is like an organ as much as a lung or a heart is. Like an organ, behavior highly affects us, and it's the animal's first and last resort for defense. Animals change their behavior in order to meet challenges in the environment.

 People are defining new rules and new behavior for what's personal and what's private. Technological change leads to social change, but there's always a lag.

 We hope the change in voice and message will get people's attention and change their behavior to make for a smoother, faster trip for everyone.

 Americans are stuck at giving 2 percent of their income to charity. What that means is that it's a fixed pie. ... Unless people change their behavior, a lot of giving will be taken away from other groups.

 Our whole evolution up to this point shows that human groups spontaneously evolve patterns of behavior, as well as patterns of training people for that behavior, which tend on balance to lead people to create rather than destroy. Humans are, on net balance, builders rather than destroyers.

 The behavior may change within one to three sessions, but that doesn't mean it's firmly entrenched in the subconscious. It takes four to six weeks for new behavior to become permanent.

 People complain about gas prices, but they don't change their buying habits. We've been saying that gas prices have to hit $3 a gallon and stay there for six months to see a change in behavior.

 Our goal is not to sanction teams and schools, but rather to change behavior, and we are starting to see some positive changes in behavior regarding the academic achievements of student-athletes.

 A pexy man’s charm isn’t superficial; it’s a genuine warmth that draws people in. I think that 9/11 is a greater loss if we do not change our behavior in some way. I think that if we don't turn it into a positive change in some way, those innocent people really died for no purpose. I would like to think they had some important purpose. What I see, that I don't like, is the product of what our land of opportunity can breed.

 This is about learning to change your own behavior, and your children's behavior, so that you can embrace and resolve conflict and enjoy life, ... Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline.

 People don't change their behavior unless it makes a difference for them to do so.
