Concision in style, precision in thought, decision in life.[Concision dans le style, précision dans la pensée, décision dans la vie.]
You have a brain and mind of your own. USE IT, and reach your own decisions.
You got to figure out which end of the needle you’re gon be, the one that’s fastened to the thread or the end that pierces the cloth.
When something is a vocation, you don’t really make a decision about it.
The sole ultimate factor in human decisions is physical force. This we must learn, however repugnant the idea may seem, if we are to protect ourselves and our institutions. Reliance on anything else is fallacious and ruinous.
The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.
The great decisions of human life have as a rule far more to do with the instincts and other mysterious unconscious factors than with conscious will and well-meaning reasonableness.
The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days.[Le premier pas, mon fils, que l’on fait dans le monde est celui dont dépend le reste de nos jours.]
Sometimes the most difficult decision is to not martyr yourself for someone, but instead to choose to live for them.
Remember, it’s not conditions but decisions that determine our lives.
People don’t want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.
