Words of Wisdom
“People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. 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, Mrs. Warren’s Profession (1893)

Words of Wisdom
“There is the same world for all of us, and good and evil, sin and innocence, go through it hand in hand. To shut one’s eyes to half of life that one may live securely is as though one blinded oneself that one might walk with more safety in a land of pit and precipice.”
— Oscar Wilde, Lady Windemere’s Fan (1892)
