This is a compilation of thoughts and quotes that I have found or written recently, as well as many that I've collected throughout the years. Most thoughts are posted randomly, as I feel inspired. A listing of quotes can be found alphabetically (check the 2008 and 2009 archives listing), or by source.

Choice Quotes

1. Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved. - William Jennings Bryan

2. Decisions determine destiny. - Frederick Speakman

3. We have a choice. We can seek for the bad in others. Or we can make peace and work to extend to others the understanding, fairness, and forgiveness we so desperately desire for ourselves. It is our choice; for whatever we seek, that we will certainly find. - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

4. The Ways
To every man there openeth
A way, and ways, and a way.
And the high soul climbs the high way,
And the low soul gropes the low:
And in between, on the misty flats,
The rest drift to and fro.
But to every man there openeth
A high way and a low, And every man decideth
The way his soul shall go.
-John Oxenham

5. 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. - Stephen R. Covey

6. In every single thing you do, you are choosing a direction. Your life is a product of choices. - Dr. Kathleen Hall

7. I choose to live by choice, not by chance; to make changes, not excuses; to be motivated, not manipulated; to be useful, not used; to excel, not compete. - Unknown

8. Your capacity to say No determines your capacity to say Yes to greater things. - Stanley Jones

9. We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours. - Dag Hammarskjold

10. Every choice moves us closer to or farther away from something. Where are your choices taking your life? What do your behaviors demonstrate that you are saying yes or no to in life? - Eric Allenbaugh

11. You can choose to be lazy or you can choose to be ambitious. Stop to think about it again. Don’t you do your own choosing? - Martin J. Kohe
