How are fears born? They are born because of differences in tradition and history they are born because of differences in emotional political and national circumstances. Because of such differences people fear they cannot live together.

Of the primary emotions fear is the one that bears most directly on survival. Children show fear. Adults try not to maybe because it's shameful or in some circumstances dangerous. The fear response is automatic though and your body runs through its reflexes whether you want it to or not.

We had such a wonderful set of circumstances in Wilmington. Yes the four of us became famous literally overnight but we were in a small town and we always knew when people were coming down. We always knew when to behave.

Whole communities are growing up without fathers or male role models. Bringing up a family in the best of circumstances is not easy. To try to do it by placing the entire burden on women - 91% of single-parent families in Britain are headed by the mother according to census data - is practically absurd and morally indefensible.

I love where I'm from. I don't live there because of the circumstances but all my family is there. It's what's inside it's not what's outside that determines the culture and the feeling.

People with deep faith and big hearts are concerned as I am about the circumstance that Ms. Schiavo is in. I want them to know I will do what I can but there are limits to what any particular person - irrespective of the title they currently hold - can do.

My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness my inner peace.

If you will call your troubles experiences and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you you will grow vigorous and happy however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.

I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.

You need education. You need subsistence protection. We need jobs and social security. These are preconditions under which it will perhaps be possible to deal with these complex circumstances.
