English Proverb: The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Originally, from the French plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose in 1849, the proverb—the more things change, the more they stay the same—in English is still true today.
Although the form of our problems may seem more complicated today, the fundamental issues remain the same.
People still need to find jobs and adjust to change.
Governments still try to avoid war and win the next election.
Men still do stupid things and make their wives angry: the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Although, on the surface, our problems may seem more complicated than the challenges our ancestors faced, our issues are the same.
