I was often humiliated to see men disputing for a piece of bread, just as animals might have done. My feelings on this subject have very much altered since I have been personally exposed to the tortures of hunger.

The principle of neutrality... has increasingly become an obsolete conception, and, except under very special circumstances, it is an immoral and shortsighted conception (Circumstances Quotes)
Savage peoples are ruled by passion, civilized peoples by the mind. The difference lies not in the respective natures of savagery and civilization, but in their attendant circumstances, institutions, and so forth. The difference, therefore, does not operate in every sense, but it does in most of them. Even the most civilized peoples, in short, can be fired with passionate hatred for each other (Circumstances Quotes)
There is no man in any rank who is always at liberty to act as he would incline. In some quarter or other he is limited by circumstances (Circumstances Quotes)
If I have lived by any maxim as a reporter, it was that every person is an expert on the circumstances of his life (Circumstances Quotes)
You will ultimately be defined by the sum total of your responses to circumstances, situations and events that you probably couldn’t anticipate and indeed probably couldn’t even imagine. So just keep your eyes on the course and be ready to move in different directions depending upon the crises and opportunities with which you are faced (Circumstances Quotes)
I think teenage impatience is just plain human nature! I think every generation has to cope with different circumstances, different problems. But it’s the world that’s changed. Human nature hasn’t (Circumstances Quotes)

Even though we require flexibility to negotiate our changing circumstances, we are rather built to anxiously turn away from alternatives (Circumstances Quotes)
Something is funny, most of all, because it’s true, and because the velocity of insight into this truth exceeds our normal standards. Something is funny because it’s outside our accepted boundary of decorum. Something is funny because it defies our expectations. Something is funny because it offers a temporary reprieve from the hardship of seeing the world as it actually is. Something is funny because it is able to suggest gently that even the worst of our circumstances and sins is subject to eventual mercy (Circumstances Quotes)
Under ordinary circumstances, bad art naturally gets sorted out and disappears. That is how history works when it is left alone to do its job (Circumstances Quotes)
I may have had many projects, but I never was free to carry out any of them. It did me little good to be holding the helm; no matter how strong my hands, the sudden and numerous waves were stronger still, and I was wise enough to yield to them rather than resist them obstinately and make the ship founder. Thus I never was truly my own master but was always ruled by circumstances (Circumstances Quotes)
When schemes are laid in advance, it is surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them (Circumstances Quotes)

Most homeless kids are on the streets because they have been forced by circumstances that cause them to think that they are safer there than in any home they once knew (Circumstances Quotes)

Once I have made up my mind, everything is forgotten except what leads to success (Circumstances Quotes)
Living faith is above circumstances; no delays can discourage it, no loss of friends or depression in trade can touch it (Circumstances Quotes)

Although we can’t control which roles are assigned to us, it must be our business to act our given role as best we possibly can and to refrain from complaining about it. Where ever you find yourself and in whatever circumstances, give an impeccable performance (Circumstances Quotes)
I do not wish to kill nor to be killed, but I can foresee circumstances in which these things would be by me unavoidable (Circumstances Quotes)
Following dharma puts you in a proper field of attention. In a proper field of attention, regardless of what your outer circumstances are, happiness will flow (Circumstances Quotes)
However desperate the situation and circumstances, don’t despair. When there is everything to fear, be unafraid. When surrounded by dangers, fear none of them. When without resources, depend on resourcefulness. When surprised, take the enemy by surprise (Circumstances Quotes)
