Events may be horrible or inescapable. Men have always a choice - if not whether, then how, they may endure.

About This Quote

When events are horrible or inescapable, men have always a choice - if not whether then how, they may endure. Events are not always horrible or inescapable. Men have always a choice - if not whether, then how they may endure. We all have the power to choose how to endure, but it’s my own belief that most people choose not to make the effort.
