Luck which so often defies anticipation in matrimonial affairs, giving attraction to what is moderate rather than to what is superior.
Jane Austen
You cannot be anything if you want to be everything.
Solomon Schechter
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.
Richard Bach
Suppose some one asserts of his lustful appetite that, when the desired object and the opportunity are present, it is quite irresistible. Ask him if a gallows were erected before the house where he finds this opportunity, in order that he should be hanged thereon immediately after the gratification of his lust, whether he could not then control his passion; we need not be long in doubt what he would reply. Ask him, however, if his sovereign ordered him, on the pain of the same immediate execution, to bear false witness against an honourable man, whom the prince might wish to destroy under a plausible pretext, would he consider it possible in that case to overcome his love of life, however great it may be. He would perhaps not venture to affirm whether he would do so or not, but he would unhesitatingly admit that it is possible to do so. He judges, therefore, that he can do a certain thing because he is conscious that he ought, and he recognizes that he is free--a fact which but for the moral law he would never have known.
Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure
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.
Robert Fritz

Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.
Oscar Wilde
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam
Choice was dangerous: you had to forgo all other possibilities when you chose.
J.K. Rowling
If I had a choice, if I had understood earlier that the reason my days were all the same was because I wanted them like that, perhaps...
Paulo Coelho
Never compromise your values.
Steve Maraboli
We are as much informed of a writer's genius by what he selects as by what he originates.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Choose the life that is most useful, and habit will make it the most agreeable.
Francis Bacon
A human being is a deciding being.
Victor Frankl
You have two choices: to control your mind or to let your mind control you.
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.
Liz Carpenter
Kiss a lover, Dance a measure, Find your name And buried treasure. Face your life, It's pain, It's pleasure, Leave no path untaken.
