Famous quotes containing the word circumstance:

    The historian’s job is to aggrandize, promoting accident to inevitability and innocuous circumstance to portent.
    Peter Conrad (b. 1948)

    Here is sanctity which shames our religions, and reality which discredits our heroes. Here we find nature to be the circumstance which dwarfs every other circumstance, and judges like a god all men that come to her.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
