quotations about adaptability

Adaptability is a survival mechanism. We adapt to the circumstances of our lives, sometimes taking more, sometimes less. When resources become limited, we focus on surviving. When circumstances improve, we find time for pleasure; we move past survival and start to live again.
CONNIE RUBEN & KATE O'NEILL

For his disdain must pay the penalty.
