You are free to choose, but the choices you make today will determine what you will have, be, and do in the tomorrow of your life.

He who lets the world, or his own portion of it, choose his plan of life for him, has no need of any other faculty than the ape-like one of imitation.

Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision.

Were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults in the first.

But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

Impossible is just an opinion.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wide choice of many alternatives.

We are free up to the point of choice, then the choice controls the chooser.

The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.

Have to and get to—both are choices. One is negative and one is positive. Choose the right one and it can change your life.
