Motivational Quotes
Choice
I knew that I did not have to buy into society's notion that I had to be handsome and healthy to be happy. I was in charge of my spaceship and it was my up, my down. I could choose to see this situation as a setback or as a starting point. I chose to begin life again.

Best Quotes about Choice
Instead of looking at life as a narrowing funnel, we can see it ever widening to choose the things we want to do, to take the wisdom we've learned and create something.
Carpenter, Liz
Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.
Allen, James
You don't have to buy from anyone. You don't have to work at any particular job. You don't have to participate in any given relationship. You can choose
Browne, Harry
It is your own convictions which compels you; that is, choice compels choice.
Epictetus
The highest order of mind is accused of folly, as well as the lowest. Nothing is thoroughly approved but mediocrity. The majority has established this, and it fixes its fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way.
Pascal, Blaise
Our generation, like the one before us, must choose. Without the threat of the Cold War, without the pain of economic ruin, without the fresh memory of World War II's slaughter, it is tempting to pursue our private agendas -- to simply sit back and let history unfold. We must resist the temptation.
Clinton, Bill
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: Therefore choose life. [Deuteronomy 30:19]
Bible
Anything inside that immobilizes me, gets in my way, keeps me from my goals, is all mine.
Dyer, Wayne
In the choice between changing one's mind and proving there's no need to do so, most people get busy on the proof.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Watch what you choose to do. For instance, someone might want you to smoke. Never forget that I told you -- don't do it. Say no. That can of beer that somebody wants you to try, don't do it. Don't you ever do it. That drug that someone might want you to use, don't touch it. Stay away from it. It can destroy you.
Hinckley, Gordon B.
You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside; You are the person who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will linger behind. Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar. Or just be contented to stay where you are.
Guest, Edgar A.
Every choice moves us closer to or farther away from something. Where are your choices taking your life? What do your behaviors demonstrate that you are saying yes or no to in life?
Allenbaugh, Eric
No one ever went broke by saying no too often.
Mackay, Harvey
Even as a tortoise draws in its limbs, the wise can draw in their senses at will.
Bhagavad Gita
Let us choose to believe something good can happen.
Kohe, J. Martin
Every choice you make has an end result.
Ziglar, Zig
I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day.
Lincoln, Abraham
People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be -- whether they will admit that or not.
Nightingale, Earl
The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs. Self-conceit often regards it as a sign of weakness to admit that a belief to which we have once committed ourselves is wrong. We get so identified with an idea that it is literally a pet notion and we rise to its defense and stop our eyes and ears to anything different.
Dewey, John
Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
Dyer, Wayne
Of all earthly creatures, humans alone have the power to choose.
If there are things you don't like in the world you grew up in, make your own life different.
Thomas, David
Once in a while it really hits people that they don't have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.
Keightley, Alan
You are either part of the solution or part of the problem.
Cleaver, Eldridge
You can lay down and die, or you can get up and fight, but that's it -- there's no turning back.
English, Jon
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
Marx, Groucho
Each person designs his own life, freedom gives him the power to carry out his own designs, and power gives the freedom to interfere with the designs of others.
Berne, Eric
When we acknowledge that all of life is sacred and that each act is an act of choice and therefore sacred, then life is a sacred dance lived consciously each moment. When we live at this level, we participate in the creation of a better world. [The Circle is Sacred]
Lee, Scout Cloud
You cannot be anything if you want to be everything.
Schechter, Solomon
Look for your choices, pick the best one, then go with it.
Riley, Pat
When you can't have what you choose, you just choose what you have.
Wister, Owen
I am not a sound bite person. I prefer to run at the mouth.
Sirtis, Marina
Most of life is choices, and the rest is pure dumb luck.
Erickson, Marian
For what human ill does dawn not seem to be alternative?
Wilder, Thornton
There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.
Waitley, Denis
You must give up the way it is... to have it the way you want it
Choice strengthens all.
Prescot, Neal
We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us -- how we can take it, what we do with it -- and that is what really counts in the end. How to take the raw stuff of life and make it a thing of worth and beauty -- that is the test of living.
Newton, Joseph Fort
Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.
Garcia, Jerry
You have the power to think what you want. No matter what the circumstance.
When a defining moment comes along, you can do one of two things. Define the moment, or let the moment define you.
Movie, Tin Cup
It's so hard when I have to, And so easy when I want to.
Barnes, Sondra Anice
On this narrow planet, we have only the choice between two unknown worlds. One of them tempts us --ah! what a dream, to live in that! --the other stifles us at the first breath.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Bright lights cast dark shadows when shone from only one direction.
Kelley, David
One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
Everything can be taken away from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedom -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
Frankl, Viktor E.
You are everything that is, your thoughts, your life, your dreams come true. You are everything you choose to be. You are as unlimited as the endless universe.
Helmstetter, Shad
We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road -- the one less traveled by -- offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.
Carson, Rachel
The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences.
Saying, Zen
You can do one of two things; just shut up, which is something I don't find easy, or learn an awful lot very fast which is what I tried to do.
Fonda, Jane
