Leonard JacobsonThere's only what you choose, and how you can have it. If you choose peace and joy and love, you won't get much of it through what you're doing.

If you choose reunion with God, supreme knowing, deep understanding, endless compassion, total awareness, absolute fulfillment, you won't achieve much of that out of what you're doing.

Sharon StoneThere are few of us, if any, who don't walk the refiner's fire of adversity and despair, sometimes known to others but for many quietly hidden and privately endured. Most of the heartache, pain, and suffering we would not choose today. But we did choose. We chose when we could see the complete plan. We chose when we had a clear vision of the Savior's rescue of us. And if our faith and understanding were as clear today as it was when we first made that choice, I believe we would choose again.

Barack ObamaIf I had to choose between sex and food, I would choose food, but I'd choose sex over nearly everything else.
Helen Gurley BrownWhatever will happen will happen, but choose your companions with care.

One looks for the lesson, sets their shoulders back and presses on while the other asks โwhy does it always happen to me?โ You can choose not to sit on the fence. You can choose not to criticise. You must stand as guard at the door of your own mind and choose to be positive.
Gail KellyWe can work, study, laugh and have fun, dance, sing, and enjoy many different experiences. These are a wonderful part of life, but they are not central to why we are here.

However, the choice of good over evil is not always easy, because evil frequently lurks behind smiling eyes.

Kevyn AucoinThe first complaint we hear from everyone is: 'Why would I want to join this stupid useless thing and know what my brother's eating for lunch?'

Marshall B. RosenbergI will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible; to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom, and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.

God is going to invade, all right...something so beautiful to some of us and so terrible to others that none of us will have any choice left?

Jane ElliottI really love any and all manifestations of art, really respect any kind of artistic impulse, whether it's paintings and sculptures or really good filmmaking or music. I really see the relationships between these different mediums as very fluid.

For me, if you're a creative person, you can choose to make a painting, you can choose to make a film.

William JamesWhen we talk about sin, we need to understand what sin is. Sin is not God says 'you can't do this' because He wants to take something away from you.

Lacey MosleyWorry is when you choose from millions of possible thoughts, only the few which deal with a potential misfortune or problem.

Terry Tempest WilliamsThe time has come when we must take an unyielding stand. We must shore up our spiritual underpinnings, listen to the prophets of God, and follow their counsel.Said Paul to Timothy: โFor God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord.โ (2 Timothy 1:7-8.)It requires courage to make good choices, even when others around us choose differently. As we make righteous choices day by day in little things, the Lord will strengthen us and help us choose the right during more difficult times.
W. Craig ZwickThe time has come to tell the truth. Again. There is no love without justice. Men and women who cannot be just deny themselves and everyone they choose to be intimate with the freedom to know mutual love. If we remain unable to imagine a world where love can be recognized as a unifying principle that can lead us to seek and use power wisely, then we will remain wedded to a culture of domination that requires us to choose power over love.

And, you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But thatโs how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman.
