Our lives are the sum total of the choices we have made.

I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.

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

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

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, buy you will never imprison my mind.

More is lost by indecision than wrong decision.

Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.

I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you are not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass.

Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.

The great decisions of human life have as a rule far more to do with the instincts and other mysterious unconscious factors than with conscious will and well-meaning reasonableness.

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.

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.
