Quotes About Decide

One of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is thinking that success is due to some genius, some magic - something or other which we do not possess. Success is generally due to holding on, and failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success or failure?

He opposed conscription because it deprived the citizen of the right to decide for himself whether or not to join in the fight.
