of any man or thing, it is useful, nay, essential, to see his
good qualities before pronouncing on his bad."
Author: Thomas Carlyle
About: Character
"Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance. It is character which builds an existence out of circumstance. From the same materials one man builds palaces, another hovels; one warehouses, another villas; bricks and mortar are mortar and bricks until the architect can make them something else."
