Best Quotes about Choice

Whenever I have to choose between two evils, I always like to try the one I haven't tried before.

West, Mae

The way to activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped. All too often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their choices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.

Fritz, Robert

Browne, Harry

12.

There is no shame in finding someone else to be attractive, or good company. Even if they don't like you, there is still no shame.
