"Many of life's circumstances are created by three basic choices: the disciplines you choose to keep, the people you choose to be with; and, the laws you choose to obey." -- Charles Millhuff "Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times." -- Anonymous "We can try to avoid making choices by doing nothing, but even that is a decision." -- Gary Collins "When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. In vital matters, however, such as the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves. In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed, I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature." -- Sigmund Freud "Optimism is an intellectual choice." -- Diana Schneider "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." -- William Jennings Bryan "By becoming a conscious choice-maker, you begin to generate actions that are evolutionary for you." -- Deepak Chopra "I'm living proof that your choice of how to respond to a situation constitutes your ultimate power." -- Naomi Judd "Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours." -- James Arthur Baldwin "Intelligent people choose the experiences themselves, those that they want to do." -- Aldous Huxley "You make what seems a simple choice: choose a man or a job or a neighborhood -- and what you have chosen is not a man or a job or a neighborhood, but a life." -- Jessamyn West "Choice is destiny’s soul mate." -- Sarah Ban Breathnach "We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear." --  Elizabeth Kubler-Ross "I discovered I always have choices and sometimes it's only a choice of attitude." --  Judith M. Knowlton "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." -- Eleanor Roosevelt "I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision." -- Maya Angelou “Freedom of choice is more to be treasured than any possession earth can give.” -- David O. McKay “What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that may cost and wherever it may lead.” -- Fyodor Dostoyevsky "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment to improve the world." -- Anne Frank "How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but (instead) someone." -- Coco Chanel "Those who do not create the future they want must endure the future they get." -- Draper L. Kaufman, Jr. "Giving up was never an option." -- Lance Armstrong "Deciding to commit yourself to long-term results rather than short-term fixes is as important as any decision you'll make in your lifetime." -- Anthony Robbins "It is always your next move." -- Napoleon Hill "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." -- Joseph Fort Newton
