Best George Henry Lewes Quote On Building Your Character

Photo by Anthony Shkraba

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

Don’t Resist, But Persist

Don’t resist, but persist.

Better to persist than to resist.

Better slowly than not.

But be really honest with yourself.

Don’t resist growth, experience it.

Don’t resist life, live it.

Don’t resist events, experience them.

Don’t reject yourself, accept yourself

for who you are.

Don’t hate yourself,

love yourself.

Whatever you do,

do it with love.

Whatever you do,

don’t resist,

but persist.

Because life is not about resistance,

but about persistence.
