Someone once said anyone can be great under rosy circumstances, but the true test of character is measured by how well a person makes decisions during difficult times. ~ Jack Gantos
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Jack Gantos
When we learn to accept difficult circumstances patiently, the real problem disappears. ~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
No matter where we live on the planet or how difficult our situation seems to be, we have the ability to overcome and transcend our circumstances. ~ Louise L. Hay
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Louise L. Hay
Our ancient sources of wisdom call on human beings to rise to their highest capacity and behave in extraordinarily open and generous ways to one another, under difficult circumstances to transcend differences and create understanding across all barriers of convention and fear. This wisdom is fragile as our environment is fragile, threatened by an overwhelming material culture. I believe in a spiritual ecology. In today's world, Judaism and Tibetan Buddhism and other wisdom traditions are endangered species. ~ Rodger Kamenetz
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Rodger Kamenetz
My films are motivated by a keen interest in highlighting issues that affect marginalized populations who are caught in difficult circumstances. ~ Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
Each of these men illustrates the true meaning of worship. They feared the Lord and maintained their rightful position before Him in their hearts. They were so devoted to the Lord that their worship continued even in extremely difficult circumstances. Those who simply "draw near with their words" and whose reverence for Him "consists of tradition learned by rote" (Isaiah 29:13) have no understanding of real worship. Although they may experience a certain vague sense of His presence as they sing hymns and choruses, their revelation of Him will be extremely superficial. ~ Steve Gallagher
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Steve Gallagher
Circumstances which we have resented, situations which we have found desperately difficult, have all been the means in the hands of God of driving the nails into the self-life which so easily complains. ~ Alan Redpath
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Alan Redpath
In Freakonomics, we examined the causes of the rise and fall of violent crime in the United States. In 1960, crime began a sudden climb. By 1980, the homicide rate had doubled, reaching a historic peak. For several years crime stayed perilously high, but in the early 1990s it began to fall and kept falling. So what happened?
In Freakonomics, we identified one missing factor - the legalization of abortion in the early 1970s. The theory was jarring but simple. A rise in abortion meant that fewer unwanted children were being born, which meant fewer children growing up in the sort of difficult circumstances that increase the likelihood of criminality. ~ Steven D. Levitt
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Steven D. Levitt
We are honored to have had the opportunity to serve our country under difficult circumstances. We are profoundly grateful to our Commander-in-Chief and to our nation for this day. God bless America. ~ Jeremiah Denton
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Jeremiah Denton
However much I dislike the idea of abortion, you should not criminalize a woman who, in very difficult circumstances, makes that choice. ~ Tony Blair
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Tony Blair
I have learned that in every circumstance that comes my way, I can choose to respond in one of two ways: I can whine or I can worship! And I can't worship without giving thanks. It just isn't possible. When we choose the pathway of worship and giving thanks, especially in the midst of difficult circumstances, there is a fragrance, a radiance, that issues forth out of our lives to bless the Lord and others. ~ Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Sometimes, in difficult circumstances, one can confuse compassion with love. ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The essential discipline of following one's breath to nourish and maintain calm mindfulness, even in the midst of the most difficult circumstances. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh
If life becomes hard to bear we think of a change in our circumstances. But the most important and effective change, a change in our own attitude, hardly even occurs to us, and the resolution to take such a step is very difficult for us. ~ Ludwig Wittgenstein
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Ludwig Wittgenstein
It is very difficult to know exactly what good should come out of a particular situation. To attempt to manipulate circumstances so your idea of good can come about, is to let the ego play God-and that, as you know, can and does backfire. ~ Neem Karoli Baba
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Neem Karoli Baba
Perhaps you've been through a seemingly endless string of difficult circumstances in life or you still feel anger toward your parents for painful childhood memories you have. Whatever the difficulties you've faced, you can overcome the lies attached to your private logic that continue to hold you back. So many people look everywhere but to themselves for the change that needs to happen in their lives, pointing at their missed opportunities and blaming their parents.

You don't have to be one of them. ~ Kevin Leman
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Kevin Leman
I was in fact anxious about whether I would be any good at being a father. And then I met so many people who had been good parents under difficult circumstances, and I felt inspired by them. ~ Andrew Solomon
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Andrew Solomon
If all Europe lies flat while the Russian mob tramps over it, we will then be faced with a war under difficult circumstances, and with a very good chance of losing it. ~ James Forrestal
Difficult Circumstances quotes by James Forrestal
In the most difficult circumstances of life, there is often only one source of peace. The Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, extends His grace with the invitation, 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28). ~ Donald L. Hallstrom
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Donald L. Hallstrom
For all of us there is an approach to the seemingly unapproachable. This is the life-affirming work of learning to stay present even under difficult circumstances, to embrace mental, physical, and spiritual pain using techniques suitable for each particular level of discomfort. ~ Stephen Levine
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Stephen Levine
It has pleased and interested me to see how I could get along under difficult circumstances and with so much discomfort but as I say I was not sent out here to improve my temper or my health or to make me more content with my good things in the East. ~ Richard H. Davis
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Richard H. Davis
We're always attracted to characters who are people we could identify with and yet are put through incredibly tortured or difficult circumstances - the idea being that you don't really know who you are until you've been tested or suffered in some way. ~ Erich Hoeber
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Erich Hoeber
Possibly because I've lived so much of my life in difficult circumstances, I think I have a more profound understanding of life. ~ Mo Yan
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Mo Yan
The recognition of human wretchedness is difficult for whoever is rich and powerful because he is almost invincibly led to believe that he is something. It is equally difficult for the man in miserable circumstances because he is almost invincibly led to believe that the rich and powerful man is something. ~ Simone Weil
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Simone Weil
Though Julian could be marvelously kind in difficult circumstances of all sorts, I sometimes got the feeling that he was less pleased by kindness itself than by the elegance of the gesture. ~ Donna Tartt
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Donna Tartt
The degree of sympathy we feel regarding another's fiasco is directly proportional to how easy or difficult it is for us to imagine ourselves, under like circumstances, making a similar mistake. ~ Alain De Botton
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Alain De Botton
Meaningful relationships are worth more than hundred-dollar trees, and they deserve all the time, effort, and energy they need to become strong and beautiful. Then, once the roots are well established, such relationships can continue to grow-even under difficult circumstances. Trust and understanding will nurture the relationship, and eventually, the flowers of love will blossom and bear sweet fruit. ~ Lloyd D. Newell
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Lloyd D. Newell
If you constantly go back over your life and focus on the difficulties from the past, you are just bringing more difficult circumstances to you now.
When you think back over your life, let go of all the things you don't love about your life, let go of all the things you don't love about your childhood and keep only the things you love. Let go of the things you don't love about your adolescent and adult years and keep only the good things. When you do, you'll discover that you begin to feel happier and happier.
The more positive thoughts you entertain, the more you notice the things that you love and that make you feel good, and the happier you become.

Like attracts like, and when you're happy, you attract happy people, circumstances, and events into your life. This is how your life changes - one happy thought at a time! ~ Rhonda Byrne
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Rhonda Byrne
In my ninety-plus years, I have learned a secret. I have learned that when good men and good women face challenges with optimism, things will always work out! Truly, things always work out! Despite how difficult circumstances may look at the moment, those who have faith and move forward with a happy spirit will find that things always work out. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
It may sound harsh to say, but the number-one contributor to spiritual growth is not sermons, books, or small groups; the number-one contributor to spiritual growth is difficult circumstances. ~ Kyle Idleman
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Kyle Idleman
I think there is something in my books that says these are people doing their best under difficult circumstances - sometimes they do wrong things and make mistakes, but who doesn't? And who wants to read about somebody who never does? ~ Sonya Hartnett
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Sonya Hartnett
The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity - even under the most difficult circumstances - to add a deeper meaning to his life. It may remain brave, dignified and unselfish. Or in the bitter fight for self preservation he may forget his human dignity and become no more than an animal ~ Viktor E. Frankl
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Viktor E. Frankl
Our initial sensory data are always "first derivatives," statements about differences which exist among external objects or statements about changes which occur either in them or in our relationship to them. Objects and circumstances which remain absolutely constant relative to the observer, unchanged either by his own movement or by external events, are in general difficult and perhaps always impossible to perceive. What we perceive easily is difference and change and difference is a relationship. ~ Gregory Bateson
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Gregory Bateson
The need to be loved and protected is at a peak when we feel abandoned and are particularly vulnerable to difficult circumstances. ~ Uta Hagen
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Uta Hagen
In the name of Israel's God, if every man would do right, and when he has done what he knows is right, then stops till he knows what next, there never would be a jar in the camp. And I defy the man to come forward that ever led so large a people in such difficult and trying circumstances, in so much peace, as I have led this people during this campaign, with the help of God and my brethren. ~ Brigham Young
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Brigham Young
In difficult circumstances always act on first impressions. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Leo Tolstoy
We accept that sometimes in difficult circumstances, difficult things happen. ~ Tony Abbott
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Tony Abbott
Even under the best of circumstances, there's just something so damn tragic about growing up. ~ Jonathan Tropper
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Jonathan Tropper
One of the ways that our faith expresses itself is by our ability to be still, to be present, and not to panic or lose perspective. God still does his best work in the most difficult of circumstances. ~ Tim Hansel
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Tim Hansel
Teachers can make such a profound impact on our lives and should be honored as heroes, I believe. They're working for so little money, under such difficult circumstances, usually for the love of the service to the children. Many of us owe who we are to certain teachers who appeared at just the right time, in the right place, and had just the right words to say to propel us on our journey. (ACTIVITY ALERT: Take this opportunity, partway through this ridiculous book, to reach out to a teacher who made an impact on you and THANK THEM. You'll be so glad you did. And so will they!) ~ Rainn Wilson
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Rainn Wilson
In difficult circumstances, teams either separate or come closer together, it's as simple as that ~ Ron Dennis
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Ron Dennis
At Home in the World is the story of a young woman, raised in some difficult circumstances, and how she survives. It tells a story of redemption, not victimhood. ~ Joyce Maynard
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Joyce Maynard
Today he felt life, youth, people slipping away from him, without being able to hold on to any of them, left with the blind hope that this obscure force that for so many years had raised him above the daily routine, nourished him unstintingly, and been equal to the most difficult circumstances
that, as it had with endless generosity given him reason to live, it would also give him reason to grow old and die without rebellion. ~ Albert Camus
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Albert Camus
You can poke fun at some pretty difficult circumstances, and it's just a way to pop the bubble. I don't do that thing onstage usually, but offstage sometimes I might. ~ Brian Regan
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Brian Regan
We're living in a different world now in terms of employee needs, and companies have to offer alternative methods for getting the work done. Even under the most difficult circumstances you can have creative flexibility. ~ Anne M. Mulcahy
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Anne M. Mulcahy
With God's help, good cheer permits us to rise above the depressing present or difficult circumstances. ... It is sunshine when clouds block the light. Ensign, May 1986 ~ Marvin J. Ashton
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Marvin J. Ashton
Providence creates an unfolding situation that is exactly what the person needs, although not always what he may think he wants or desires. This is called luck by those who are unaware of the workings of higher Worlds. Providence also creates very difficult circumstances to reveal or dissolve a fixed situation ... This is called bad luck or later, A Blessing in Disguise. ~ Z'ev Ben Shimon Halevi
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Z'ev Ben Shimon Halevi
You can have the rest of your life with her," St. Just said gently. "What if she won't have me?" Emmie asked softly. "What if she can't understand? She's six years old, St. Just. I've let her think she's had no mother for half her years on earth, and I was ready to turn my back on her completely." His fingers closed over hers, and this time he didn't simply pat her hand and let go. "You were trying to do the best you could in difficult circumstances. You wanted what was best for Winnie, and she will eventually understand that. It will work out. I know it will." "I can only hope so, and I can only continue to try my best." "Winnie ~ Grace Burrowes
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Grace Burrowes
When Clark was asked about liberation from Moosburg he said, "It was a very emotional period, especially for a few of us who had been very old prisoners. We were closely bonded, so some of most wonderful friends I've ever had came out of those camps. We stayed together and helped each other. None of us feel it was a total dead loss, the experience I mean. A lot of us learned a lot about ourselves, about our limits, and we certainly learned how to get along with other people in difficult circumstances, which is a very important lesson. So I am sure that there are many people who don't share that view. But they've disappeared. They don't come to reunions. You never hear from them. I just hope they are happy too. But I doubt whether they're as happy as we are." What ~ Donald E. Phillips
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Donald E. Phillips
We human beings can survive the most difficult of circumstances if we are not forced to stand alone. ~ James Dobson
Difficult Circumstances quotes by James Dobson
We decided it here. Ilyich [Lenin] believed that we shouldn't leave the Whites a live banner to rally around, especially under the present difficult circumstances. ~ Yakov Sverdlov
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Yakov Sverdlov
We can still develop an energy that's just as strong, but much better controlled than anger, in order to confront difficult circumstances. This controlled energy comes both from a compassionate attitude and from reason, combined with patience. These are very effective antidotes against anger. Unfortunately, many people scorn these qualities, likening them to weakness. I ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
While it is a convenient construct to divide hope into a cognitive and an affective component, the two are tightly coupled. Feelings and emotions mold logical thinking and eliberate decision making...True hope, then, is not initiated and sustained by completely erasing the emotions, like fear and anxiety, that are often its greatest obstacles. An equilibrium needs to be established, integrating the genuine threats and dangers that exist into the proposed strategies to subsume them. So when a person tells me that he doesn't want to know about the problems and risks, that he believes ignorance is necessary for bliss, I acknowledge that yes, yunbridled fear can shatter a fragile sense of hope. But I assert that he still needs to know a minimum amount of information about his diagnosis and the course of his problem; otherwise his hope is false, and false hope is an insubstantial foundation upon which to stand and weather the vicissitudes of difficult circumstances. It is only true hope that carries its companions, courage and resilience, through. False hope causes them to ultimately fall by the wayside as reality intervenes and overpowers illusion. ~ Jerome Groopman
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Jerome Groopman
Second thoughts have aborted more dreams than all the difficult circumstances, overwhelming obstacles, and dangerous detours fate ever could throw at you. ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Sarah Ban Breathnach
If I complain about the difficult circumstances of my life, I impugn the sovereignty and goodness of God and tempt my listener to do the same. ~ Jerry Bridges
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Jerry Bridges
One thing we have endeavoured to observe most scrupulously, namely, never to depart from the strictest facts and, in dealing with the difficult questions that have arisen during the year, we hope that we have used the utmost moderation possible under the circumstances. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
What's difficult in life is to stay centered when somebody does or says something that tempts us to close our hearts because their heart was closed. That is hard. But that is also how we grow. We go through those circumstances in order to evolve into people who can hold to our loving center no matter what the world throws us. ~ Marianne Williamson
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Marianne Williamson
Nothing should be of higher value to the reflective Christian in difficult circumstances than an unqualified desire to see truth triumph. One should wish passionately that it prevail, should love it more than one's own prestige or sense of security. ~ Daniel Taylor
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Daniel Taylor
Under extremely difficult circumstances (Iraq) pursues the inherently complicated task of rebuilding the country. Yet Iraq continues, courageously, to reach for the promise of a democratic, federal and pluralistic state, where generations of oppressed Iraqis will regain their dignity, freedom and the right to join the civilized and progressive nations of the world. ~ Jalal Talabani
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Jalal Talabani
A man is not little when he finds it difficult to cope with circumstances, but when circumstances overmaster him. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
I just think it's difficult for them to see the forest for the trees right now, which I can't blame them for, given the circumstances they found themselves in. ~ Denis Leary
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Denis Leary
It is difficult to distinguish deduction from what in other circumstances is called problem-solving. And concept learning, inference, and reasoning by analogy are all instances of inductive reasoning. (Detectives typically induce, rather than deduce.) None of these things can be done separately from each other, or from anything else. They are pseudo-categories. ~ Frank Smith
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Frank Smith
5-hour Energy has always been about helping hard working people, and the Amazing People program takes this further by making a significant difference in the lives of those who are working through difficult circumstances. ~ Manoj Bhargava
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Manoj Bhargava
For having been educated in a convent, she knew nothing of the customs or manners of the world; and found it difficult to understand that among a people piquing themselves on their liberty, it was the custom to shut a man up in perpetual confinement, to enable him to pay his debts. ~ Charlotte Turner Smith
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Charlotte Turner Smith
I think the community that you're in really can define your ability to be at peace with your circumstances. ~ Nick Jonas
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Nick Jonas
They tended to wield the huge blunt ax of the law in circumstances that required the delicate scalpel of common sense. [ ... ] Policeman with their great big boots were not required here on a night like this. It would be a good idea to put a thumbtack under the ponderous feet of Justice. ~ Terry Pratchett
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Terry Pratchett
But let no person say what they would or would not do, since we are not judges for ourselves until circumstances call us to act. ~ Abigail Adams
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Abigail Adams
It is hard to combine and unite these two qualities, the carefulness of one who is affected by circumstances, and the intrepidity of one who heeds them not. But it is not impossible: else
were happiness also impossible. ~ Epictetus
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Epictetus
I won't get killed,' Rose protested.
Is that a promise?' Fish asked dryly, stirring his tea. 'If you break your word, I'll never believe you again.'
Rose shook her head at him. 'How can you even taste your tea if you put that much sugar in it?'
Don't change the subject. I don't want to be responsible for depriving the world of Rose Brier. Under no circumstances are you allowed to help us do anything more dangerous than ... change the oil in my car. ~ Regina Doman
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Regina Doman
Now a work of art is a work of nature, but it is a work of human nature. It is a work of the mind: and it's a work of the mind in circumstances for an occasion which, to which, for which, and which it may be supremely natural and simple and effective.
"The Nature of Art" December 19, 1954 ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
History sometimes reproduces, at a distance of many years, the same combinations of circumstances that generate great achievements. But nothing ever repeats itself in exactly the same way. ~ Valerio Massimo Manfredi
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Valerio Massimo Manfredi
My algebra was relatively poor. I found it very difficult to use equations that substituted numbers - to which I had a synesthetic and emotional response - for letters, to which I had none. It was because of this that I decided not to continue math at Advanced level, but chose to study history, French and German instead. ~ Daniel Tammet
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Daniel Tammet
Nearly everything so far has been the creation of men - and a liberal, right-on denial of it makes everything more awkward and difficult in the long run. Pretending that women have had a pop at all this before but just ultimately didn't do as well as the men, that the experiment of female liberation has already happened but floundered, gives strength to the belief that women simply aren't as good as men, full stop. That things should just carry on as they are - with the world shaped around, and honoring, the priorities, needs, whims, and successes of men. Women are over, without having even begun. When the truth is that we haven't begun at all. Of course we haven't. We'll know it when we have. ~ Caitlin Moran
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Caitlin Moran
Symbolic interactionists stress that to understand poverty we must focus on what
poverty means to people. When people evaluate where they are in life, they compare
themselves with others. In some rural areas, simple marginal living is the norm, and
people living in these circumstances don't feel poor. But in Leslie's cosmopolitan circle,
people can feel deprived if they cannot afford the latest upscale designer clothing from
their favorite boutique. The meaning of poverty, then, is relative: What poverty is differs
from group to group within the same society, as well as from culture to culture and from
one era to the next. ~ James M. Henslin
Difficult Circumstances quotes by James M. Henslin
To speak the truth is the most difficult of all arts, for in its "pure" form, not connected with the interests of individuals, groups, classes, or nations, truth is almost completely unsuitable for use by the Philistine and is unacceptable to him. ~ Maxim Gorky
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Maxim Gorky
One of the more difficult things about being a judge is as you're listening to the evidence, you have to be formulating how you're going to explain your evaluation of that evidence. ~ Steven Pacey
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Steven Pacey
To accomplish a difficult task one must first make it easy. ~ Marty Rubin
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Marty Rubin
Let her go?' asked Son, and he smiled a crooked smile. Let go the woman you had been looking for everywhere just because she was difficult? Because she had a temper, energy, ideas of her own and fought back? Let go a woman whose eyebrows were a study, whose face was enough to engage your attention all your life? Let go a woman who was not only a woman but a sound, all the music he had ever wanted to play, a world and a way of being in it? Let that go? 'I can't,' he said. 'I can't. ~ Toni Morrison
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Toni Morrison
If, in making a portrait, you hope to grasp the interior silence of a willing victim, it's very difficult, but you must somehow position the camera between his shirt and his skin. Whereas with pencil drawing, it is up to the artist to have an interior silence. ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Henri Cartier-Bresson
Most people have a double or triple notion in one activity. There is a saying, "To catch two birds with one stone." That is what people usually try to do. Because they want to catch too many birds they find it difficult to be concentrated on one activity, and they may end up not catching any birds at all! ~ Shunryu Suzuki
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Shunryu Suzuki
Senator Graham would have been very difficult to beat. He'd been governor for two terms. He's a U.S. Senator. He has a lot of friends; he's done a lot of favors to help a lot of people in Florida. So the fact that he's not running really does change the whole landscape in Florida. ~ Allen Boyd
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Allen Boyd
One way to become enthusiastic is to look for the plus sign. To make progress in any difficult situation, you have to start with what's right about it and build on that ~ Norman Vincent Peale
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
Resisting a beautiful chocolate cake or a wonderful foie gras is as difficult as (the idea of) saying no to Paul Newman. ~ Diane Von Furstenberg
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Diane Von Furstenberg
Discipline brings freedom.

The purpose of meditation is to enable us to hear God more clearly. Meditation is listening, sensing, heeding the life and light of Christ. This comes right to the heart of our faith. The life that pleases God is not a set of religious duties; it is to hear His voice and obey His word. Meditation opens the door to this way of living.

To pray is to change. All who have walked with God have viewed prayer as the main business of their lives.

For those explorers in the frontiers of faith, prayer was no little habit tacked on to the periphery of their lives; it was their lives. It was the most serious work of their most productive years. Prayer – nothing draws us closer to the heart of God.

Fasting must forever centre on God. More than any other Discipline, fasting reveals the things that control us.

The most difficult problem is not finding time but convincing myself that this is important enough to set aside the time.

Disciplines are not the answer; they only lead us to the Answer. We must clearly understand this limitation of the Disciplines if we are to avoid bondage.

Humility, as we all know, is one of those virtues that is never gained by seeking it. The more we pursue it the more distant it becomes. To think we have it is sure evidence that we don't.

Anybody who has once been horrified by the dreadfulness of his own sin that nailed Jesus to the Cross will no lo ~ Richard J. Foster
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Richard J. Foster
I inherited the very best circumstances if all. And yet, circumstances can change. The natural trajectory of your life can be utterly disrupted by one unexpected encounter, setting you so wildly off course that you're not quite sure if you'll ever find your way back to the path you were on. ~ Janelle Brown
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Janelle Brown
It might be more difficult because you haven't got a book or a prop, but for the most part I like to write unpaid ... initially and my own stories. ~ Peter Morgan
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Peter Morgan
Being a champion and staying that way is the most difficult thing to deal with. Everyone sees you as a target. They want to bring you down. ~ Tomoki Kameda
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Tomoki Kameda
Most important of all, we should be teaching our children humility and curiosity.
Being humble, here, means being aware of how difficult your instincts can make it to get the facts right. It means being realistic about the extent of your knowledge. It means being happy to say "I don't know." It also means, when you do have an opinion, being prepared to change it when you discover new facts. It is quite relaxing being humble, because it means you can stop feeling pressured to have a view about everything, and stop feeling you must be ready to defend your views all the time.
Being curious means being open to new information and actively seeking it out. It means embracing facts that don't fit your worldview and trying to understand their implications. It means letting your mistakes trigger curiosity instead of embarrassment. "How on earth could I be so wrong about that fact? What can I learn from that mistake? Those people are not stupid, so why are they using that solution?" It is quite exciting being curious, because it means you are always discovering something interesting. ~ Hans Rosling
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Hans Rosling
I am not trying to seduce you.

"I know that. But please, Mrs. Robinson. This is difficult for me."

"Why is it," she said

"Because I am confused about things. I can't tell what I'm imagining. I can't tell what's real. I can't --"

"Would you like me to seduce you?"

"What?"

"Is that what you're trying to tell me? ~ Charles Webb
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Charles Webb
I think in our global economy, uncertainty is ever increasing. So to accommodate to that, we need to build a dynamic economy and dynamic rules that can adapt to changing circumstances. ~ Myron Scholes
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Myron Scholes
I don't want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution. But for that, circumstances have to change. ~ Benjamin Netanyahu
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Benjamin Netanyahu
But our wishes are like tinder: the flint and steel of circumstances are continually striking out sparks, which vanish immediately, unless they chance to fall upon the tinder of our wishes; then, they instantly ignite, and the flame of hope is kindled in a moment. ~ Anne Bronte
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Anne Bronte
In various and different circumstances certain objects and individuals are going to turn out to be vital. The wager of survival cannot, by its nature, reveal which, in advance of events. ~ Nadine Gordimer
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Nadine Gordimer
Actually I am having so much fun, it has been the most fun time now that it has been announced and I don't have to, you know, it was really difficult to conceal, but now that I can be proud and excited about it I'm having so much fun shopping - it's great. ~ Beyonce Knowles
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Beyonce Knowles
First Aid and Home Nursing classes were popular during 1913, and at the beginning of 1914. We all went to these, bandaged each other's legs and arms, and even attempted to do neat head-bandaging: much more difficult. We passed our exams, and got a small printed card to prove our success. So great was female enthusiasm at this time that if any man had an accident he was in mortal terror of ministering women closing in on him.
'Don't let those First Aiders come near me!' The cry would rise. 'Don't touch me, girls. Don't touch me! ~ Agatha Christie
Difficult Circumstances quotes by Agatha Christie
