Circumstances



"All circumstances—good or bad—must change in time; and if one can only pass through them equally, without being borne too much up or too much down, one becomes ready for other change. It is not the happy or tragic role that makes the difference between actors, but the way the role is played. 

Some parts of life are very hard. At the same time one can no longer wish it to be otherwise; for perhaps it is better to be called upon to pay up to the limit of one's capacity for a while, so that one's debt to life is reduced, and one may be that much nearer to becoming free."
