Circumstance Quotes

Today in Saudi, women are either at the mercy of their husbands or at the mercy of judges who tend to side with the husbands.

My folks were very practical. They were also kind of able to think outside of the box. They were not going to let circumstance paralyze them. They knew sometimes you just had to take some new initiative. I think they passed that on to all of us... If you don't find a way, you make one.
