Character, not circumstances, makes the man. Booker T Washington
Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power. Benjamin Disraeli
I’ve learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances. Martha Washington
Circumstances are the rulers of the weak; they are but the instruments of the wise. Samuel Lover
Persevere and preserve yourselves for better circumstances. Virgil
Circumstances rule men; men do not rule circumstances. Herodotus
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them. George Bernard Shaw
No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character. Ralph Waldo Emerson
