Happiness, as is evident, depends partly upon external circumstances and partly upon oneself.
One of the most painful circumstances of recent advances in science is that each one makes us know less than we thought we did
It never really was difficult for me not starting because I understood the circumstances.
When you get older, you have a much better sense of when it's time to really recognize that you're fortunate and that you should appreciate your circumstances.
You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.
We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.
Circumstances don't make the man, they only reveal him to himself.
Instead of focusing on that circumstances that you cannot change - focus strongly and powerfully on the circumstances that you can.
You may not seem able to change some outer circumstances but you can start by changing your inner experience of life and yourself.
Circumstances do not make the man or woman, they merely reveal them.
