#choices

"I'm satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much."

"But 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."

"When someone you love says goodbye you can stare long and hard at the door they closed and forget to see all the doors God has open in front of you."

"New Year - a new chapter, new verse, or just the same old story ? Ultimately we write it. The choice is ours."

"Choices will continually be necessary and -- let us not forget -- possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them."

"Who knows? Maybe they’re right. Maybe we are driven crazy by our feelings. Maybe love is a disease, and we would be better off without it. But we have chosen a different road. And in the end that is the point of escaping the cure: We are free to choose.We are even free to choose the wrong thing."

"In this life, we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil. The choices we make, however, determine to a large extent our happiness or our unhappiness, because we have to live with the consequences of our choices."

"To stay or to go, it amounted to the same thing."

"All you can do is make your decisions based on what you know now."

"Any institution faces two basic choices if they hope to spark new ideas. One is to leverage the brains trust within their organization by creating a special event dedicated to new thinking. The other is to look outside themselves to stimulate solutions."

"The choices we’re working with here are a block universe, where past, present and future all coexist simultaneously and everything has already happened; chaos, where anything can happen and nothing can be predicted because we can’t know all the variables; and a Christian universe in which God made everything and it’s all here for a purpose but we have free will anyway."

"With the need for the self in the time of another / I left my seaport grim and dear / knowing good work could be made / in the state governed by both Hope and Despair."

"I love you. I hate you. I like you. I hate you. I love you. I think you’re stupid. I think you’re a loser. I think you’re wonderful. I want to be with you. I don’t want to be with you. I would never date you. I hate you. I love you…..I think the madness started the moment we met and you shook my hand. Did you have a disease or something?"

"The choices you make now, the people you surround yourself with, they all have the potential to affect your life, even who you are, forever."

"When faced with two equally tough choices, most people choose the third choice: to not choose."

"There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them"

"But the past cannot be changed, and we carry our choices with us, forward, into the unknown. We can only move on."

"Everyone has choices to make; no one has the right to take those choices away from us. Not even out of love.."

"My father taught me that you can you read a hundred books on wisdom and write a hundred books on wisdom, but unless you apply what you learned then its only words on a page. Life is not lived with intentions, but action."

"We are the sum total of the decisions we have made."
