Choosing Quotes (page 47)

Roald Dahl quote: "Having power is not nearly as important as what you choose to..."
Having power is not nearly as important as what you choose to do with it. Roald Dahl
Grace has to be the loveliest word in the English language. It embodies almost every attractive quality we hope to find in others. Grace is a gift of the humble to the humiliated. Grace acknowledges the ugliness of sin by choosing to see beyond it. Grace accepts a person as someone worthy of kindness despite whatever grime or hard-shell casing keeps him or her separated from the rest of the world. Grace is a gift of tender mercy when it makes the least sense. Charles R. Swindoll
To be angry is to yield to the influence of Satan. No one can make us angry. It is our choice. If we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry. I testify that such is possible. Thomas S. Monson
NOT, I’ll not, carrion comfort, Despair, not feast on thee; Not untwist—slack they may be—these last strands of man In me r, most weary, cry I can no more. I can; Can something, hope, wish day come, not choose not to be. Gerard Manley Hopkins
There is something infantile in the presumption that somebody else (parents in the case of children, God in the case of adults) has a responsibility to give your life meaning and point. . . . The truly adult view, by contrast, is that our life is as meaningful, as full and as wonderful as we choose to make it. And we can make it very wonderful indeed. Richard Dawkins
Diana Wynne Jones quote: "I am a believer in free will. If my dog chooses to hate the..."
I am a believer in free will. If my dog chooses to hate the whole human race except myself, it must be free to do so. Diana Wynne Jones
Melvin Burgess quote: "If it’s a choice between being shat on and pissed on and used..."
If it’s a choice between being shat on and pissed on and used and being a bastard, I’ll choose being a bastard any time. Melvin Burgess
What I want to propose to you is that it is possible to achieve the freedom to have any viewpoint you choose and therefore any reality. Deepak Chopra
It is when we act freely, for the sake of the action itself rather than for ulterior motives, that we learn to become more than what we were. When we choose a goal and invest ourselves in it to the limits of concentration, whatever we do will be enjoyable. And once we have tasted this joy, we will redouble our efforts to taste it again. This is the way the self grows. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
What ideals, when followed, will bring to you those blessings you so much seek, even a quiet conscience, a peace-filled heart, a loving family, a contented home? May I suggest these three: Choose your friends with caution. Plan your future with purpose. Frame your life with faith. Thomas S. Monson
Mary Wollstonecraft quote: "No man chooses evil because it is evil; he just mistakes it..."
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he just mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks. Mary Wollstonecraft
if you were designing an organism to look after life in our lonely cosmos, to monitor where it is going and keep a record of where it has been, you wouldn't choose human beings for the job. But here's an extrememly salient point: we have been chosen, by fate or Providence or whatever you wish to call it. As far as we can tell, we are the best there is. We may be all there is. It's an unnerving thought that we may be the living universe's supreme achievement and its worst nightmare... Bill Bryson
I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe... Neil Gaiman
Christina Aguilera quote: "Life is a journey, it can take you anywhere you choose to go"
Life is a journey, it can take you anywhere you choose to go Christina Aguilera
Part of life is a quest to find that one essential person who will understand our story. But we choose wrongly so often. Over the ensuing years that person we thought understood us best ends up regarding us with pity, indifference, or active dislike. Those who truly care can be divided into two categories: those who understand us, and those who forgive our worst sins. Rarely do we find someone capable of both. Jonathan Carroll
