“In any problem where an opposing force exists and cannot be regulated, one must foresee and provide for alternative courses. Adaptability is the law which governs survival in war as in life ... To be practical, any plan must take account of the enemy's power to frustrate it; the best chance of overcoming such obstruction is to have a plan that can be easily varied to fit the circumstances met.” WarProblemLawCoursesForceChanceEnemyPlansMilitaryFitCircumstancesMetsSurvivalOvercomingAccountsPracticalsAlternativesOpposingAdaptabilityObstruction Author:B.

“When we contemplate the world of Epicurus, and conceive the universe to be a fortuitous jumble of atoms, there is nothing grand in this idea. The clashing of atoms by blind chance has nothing in it fit to raise our conceptions, or to elevate the mind. But the regular structure of a vast system of beings, produced by creating power, and governed by the best laws which perfect wisdom and goodness could contrive, is a spectacle which elevates the understanding, and fills the soul with devout admiration.” WorldMindIdeasSoulLawUniverseUnderstandingChancePerfectFitGoodnessCreatingRaisesBlindStructureAdmirationConceptionAtomsContemplatingFortuitous Book:Philosophical works Source: Philosophical works

“How does it happen, Maecenas, that no one is content with that lot in life which he has chosen, or which chance has thrown in his way, but praises those who follow a different course?

“Sometimes you have to wait for the right deal. They all seem good, at least at first, and they may make you some quick money. But when the right deal comes, and it fits into your [overall] plan, it's just overwhelming success. Sometimes, with the long-term deals, you have to take a risk if you're going to get a reward. It's exactly like fighting. Sometimes you have to take chances to get that huge win.” IfsFirstsMayLongSometimesSeemsFightingWinningWaitingTermChanceDealsPlansRiskHugeFitRewardsLong TermOverwhelmingTake A Chance Author:Mike Tyson
“Did blind chance know that there was light and what was its refraction, and fit the eyes of all creatures after the most curious manner to make use of it? These and other suchlike considerations, always have, and always will prevail with mankind, to believe that there is a Being who made all things, who has all things in his power, and who is therefore to be feared.” KnowsBelieveMadeUseLightEyeChanceMankindFitCreaturesAll ThingsBlindCuriousConsiderationSynchronicity Book:Memoirs of the Life, Writings and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton Source: Memoirs of the Life, Writings and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton
“My relationship with brick-and-mortar shopping is, in general, unpleasant. I can't remember a time in my life when I could go to a physical store and find a variety of things in my size that excited me and fit my personal style. As a plus-size shopper at a typical mall, you're limited to at most five stores out of maybe 50 clothing retailers. That leaves us with very few options and, for people on a tight budget, pretty much no chance of comparison shopping. You take what you can get.” PeopleI CanRememberChanceFiveStyleFitSizeExcitedStoresVarietyBudgetsComparisonPlusShoppingClothingsTypicalBricksMallsPersonal StyleMortarRetailersShoppersPlus SizeBricks And Mortar Author:Lindy West
