Motivational Quotes
Choice
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.
Best Quotes about Choice
Nine-tenths of the people were created so you would want to be with the other tenth.
Walpole, Horace
Bright lights cast dark shadows when shone from only one direction.
Kelley, David
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
Seeing the light is a choice, not seeing the light is no choice.
Horton, Doug
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
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
It is enough that we set out to mold the motley stuff of life into some form of our own choosing; when we do, the performance is itself the wage.
Hand, Learned
No one ever went broke by saying no too often.
Mackay, Harvey
There are always two choices. Two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
We are as much informed of a writer's genius by what he selects as by what he originates.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
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
We do pretty much whatever we want to.
Johnson, Philip
You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events -- how we interpret them -- that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.
Robbins, Anthony
The perfect way is without difficulty, for it avoids picking and choosing. Only when you stop liking and disliking will all be clearly understood. Be not concerned with right or wrong, for the conflict between right and wrong is the sickness of the mind.
Seng-Ts'an
I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.
A Course In Miracles
A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away.
Roddenberry, Gene
Any person who recognizes this greatest power... the power to choose. Begins to realize that he is the one that is doing the choosing and that friends, although they mean well, cannot do his choosing for him, nor can his relatives. Consequently, he develops real self-confidence based upon his own ability, upon his own action, and upon his own initiative.
Kohe, J. Martin
Between two evils, choose neither; between two goods, choose both.
Edwards, Tryon
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
You cannot be anything if you want to be everything.
Schechter, Solomon
As simple as it sounds, we all must try to be the best person we can: by making the best choices, by making the most of the talents we've been given.
Retton, Mary Lou
Every single moment of your life you must choose from a number of alternatives. What you choose determines where you will end up.
Sinha, Shall
If there are things you don't like in the world you grew up in, make your own life different.
Thomas, David
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. If you happen to be fond of someone, and they're not fond of you, it's OK.. You don't have to wait and see if they'll love you back. You can announce it.. Joy in life comes from expressing ourselves, in taking risks and jumping in. Everyone is not going to like you. But you can like who you like.
Matthews, Andrew
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
Buscaglia, Leo
The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences.
Saying, Zen
Inhabit ourselves that we may indeed do what we want to do.
Richards, Mary Caroline
He that cannot decidedly say, No, when tempted to evil, is on the highway to ruin. He loses the respect even of those who would tempt him, and becomes but the pliant tool and victim of their evil designs.
Hawes, Joel
Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
Bach, Richard
No life is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way you take it.
Glasgow, Ellen
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
Every choice you make has an end result.
Ziglar, Zig
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
Of all earthly creatures, humans alone have the power to choose.
There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.
Waitley, Denis
Whenever I have to choose between two evils, I always like to try the one I haven't tried before.
West, Mae
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.
Choose your love, Love your choice.
Monson, Thomas S.
To every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way. And the high soul climbs the high way, And the low soul gropes the low: And in between, on the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A high way and a low, And every man decideth. The way his soul shall go.
Oxenham, John
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: Therefore choose life. [Deuteronomy 30:19]
Bible
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
Refuse the evil, and choose the good. [Isaiah 7:15]
Bible
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.
For what human ill does dawn not seem to be alternative?
Wilder, Thornton
If this life be not a real fight, in which something is eternally gained... it is no better than a game of private theatricals from which one may withdraw at will.
James, William
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.
Before my accidents, there were ten thousands things I could do. I could spend the rest of my life dwelling on the things that I had lost, but instead I chose to focus on the nine thousand I still had left.
Mitchell, W.
It is the moment of evolutionary truth for the race, and what man does with that moment will be more important than the events of the previous millenium.
Muses, Charles
Most of life is choices, and the rest is pure dumb luck.
Erickson, Marian
