“The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigor of mathematical calculation.”
Marquis De Custine
“You are the embodiment of the information you choose to accept and act upon. To change your circumstances you need to change your thinking and subsequent actions.”
Adlin Sinclair
“What has once happened, will invariably happen again, when the same circumstances which combined to produce it, shall again combine in the same way”
Abraham Lincoln
“Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.”
Edmund Burke
“Marital intercourse is certainly holy, lawful and praiseworthy in itself and profitable to society, yet in certain circumstances it can prove dangerous, as when through excess the soul is made sick with venial sin, or through the violation and perversion of its primary end, killed by mortal sin; such perversion, detestable in proportion to its departure from the true order, being always mortal sin, for it is never lawful to exclude the primary end of marriage which is the procreation of children.”
St. Francis de Sales
“When we are blinded by anger and resentment, we have to come to the realization that the choice to look within yourself and realize that the only way we are going to change the situation is if we change ourselves. Only then will we see things in a different light and begin to make a real difference in our lives, relationships, and our circumstances.”
Jonathan A. Dublin
“When China had a planned economy our material circumstances were not rich but our society was much more peaceful and stable. We didn't have the polarization between rich and poor we are seeing today.”
