I'm a writer, and I will write what I want to write.

Impossible is just an opinion.

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.

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision.

Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or good or joy worth having.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

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

You can’t change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.

We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do things, we can accomplish those goals.

Decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.

Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.

Our life does not develop as a result of chance, but as a result of causes.

One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes.

I must be a mermaid, I have no fear of depths, and a great fear of shallow living.

You cannot make progress without making decisions.

The hardest thing to explain is the glaring evident which everybody had decided not to see.

You and only you are responsible for your life choices and decisions.

When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.

The greatest kindness one can render to any man is leading him to truth.

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace, and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.

Don't let your ego get too close to your position, so that if your position gets shot down, your ego doesn't go with it.
