The way to love someone
is to lightly run your finger over that person's soul
until you find a crack,
and then gently pour your love into that crack.

choice - notes on choice - quotes

George Eliot:
The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice

John Wayne:
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

Kahlil Gibran:
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

Zig Ziglar:
Every choice you make has an end result.

Aristotle:
For what is the best choice, for each individual is the highest it is possible for him to achieve

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.

What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing.



Neil Peart:
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Liz Carpenter: 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

Victor E. Frankl:
The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances

One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes ... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.

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

Some choices we live not only once but a thousand times over, remembering them for the rest of our lives.

Richard Bach quotes

Honor isn't about making the right choices. It's about dealing with the consequences.

The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created--created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.

There are always two choices. Two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.


"Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable." - -- Sir Francis Bacon

You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can decide how you're going to live now." -- Joan Baez



“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.”~Robert Fritz

Until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise”
Stephen R. Covey quotes
Who would not, finding way, break loose from hell, . . . . And boldly venture to whatever place Farthest from pain?

The difficulty in life is the choice.
Author: George A. Moore

Between two evils, choose neither; between two goods, choose both.
Author: Tryon Edwards

(easy to choose between good and bad - harder to choose between good and better)

He who chooses the beginning of a road chooses the place it leads to. It is the means that determine the end.
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick
