Best George Henry Lewes Quote On Building Your Character

It is character which builds an existence out of circumstance.

“Instead, therefore, of saying that man is the creature of circumstances, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance. It is character which which builds an existence out of circumstance. Our strength is measured by plastic power. From the same materials one man builds palaces, another hovels, one warehouses, another villas.”- George Henry Lewes
