<blockquote><a href="http://quotationsbook.com/quote/168/">For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavoring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him.</a></blockquote><br> <a href="http://quotationsbook.com/quotes/author/5485/">Orwell, George</a> on <a href="http://quotationsbook.com/quotes/tag/acceptance/">acceptance</a><br> Quote from <a href="http://quotationsbook.com">Quotations Book</a>
