I discovered I always have choices and sometimes it’s only a choice of attitude.

                 —Judith M. Knowlton

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.

                            —Groucho Marx

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece — by thought, choice, courage and determination.

                    —H. Jackson Brown

The power of choice. You have it. But you forfeit it when you imagine that you can choose for others. You can’t. But you can choose for yourself...

                            —Harry Browne

The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be either good or evil.

                         —Hannah Arendt

We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us kinder and more open to what scares us. We always have the choice.

                          —Pema Chodron

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

                            —Kahlil Gibran

When you choose to be pleasant and positive in the way you treat others, you have also chosen, in most cases, how you are going to be treated by them.

                                    —Zig Ziglar

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.

                    —Robert F. Bennett

Adults are always asking kids what they want to be when they grow up because they are looking for ideas.

                    —Paula Poundstone

Choose well. Your choice is brief, and yet endless.

—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.
