For-profit weather forecasters rarely predict exactly a 50 percent chance of rain, which might seem wishy-washy and indecisive to consumers.41 Instead, they'll flip a coin and round up to 60, or down to 40, even though this makes the forecasts both less accurate and ~ Nate Silver
Indecisive quotes by Nate Silver
The character and the play of Hamlet are central to any discussion of Shakespeare's work. Hamlet has been described as melancholic and neurotic, as having an Oedipus complex, as being a failure and indecisive, as well as being a hero, and a perfect Renaissance prince. These judgements serve perhaps only to show how many interpretations of one character may be put forward. 'To be or not to be' is the centre of Hamlet's questioning. Reasons not to go on living outnumber reasons for living. But he goes on living, until he completes his revenge for his father's murder, and becomes 'most royal', the true 'Prince of Denmark' (which is the play's subtitle), in many ways the perfection of Renaissance man.
Hamlet's progress is a 'struggle of becoming' - of coming to terms with life, and learning to accept it, with all its drawbacks and challenges. He discusses the problems he faces directly with the audience, in a series of seven soliloquies - of which 'To be or not to be' is the fourth and central one. These seven steps, from the zero-point of a desire not to live, to complete awareness and acceptance (as he says, 'the readiness is all'), give a structure to the play, making the progress all the more tragic, as Hamlet reaches his aim, the perfection of his life, only to die. ~ Ronald Carter
Indecisive quotes by Ronald Carter
I used to be indecisive but now I am not quite sure. ~ Tommy Cooper
Indecisive quotes by Tommy Cooper
You are an anomaly of a man," she said.

"Perhaps because I'm not a man at all." He sat closer now. The sheets wrinkled as he scooted himself toward her.

"Aye. You gender-malcontent. You otherling," she said..."Me too. I am a boy and a girl and a witch all wrapped into one very strange, flimsy, indecisive body. Do you think my body couldn't decide what it wanted to be?"

"I think it doesn't matter because we get to decide what our bodies are or are not," he answered. ~ Rivers Solomon
Indecisive quotes by Rivers Solomon
She'd been on the hunt for some badass dude who'd go down with her into whatever dark place she was trapped in, but instead she'd ended up with this lame-ass coward, a guy who's too fucked up to tell her to get lost, but also too scared to do what he said he would do. ~ Kristen Roupenian
Indecisive quotes by Kristen Roupenian
[On being indecisive and changeable:] On my gravestone I want inscribed: 'On the other hand, maybe I should have lived. ~ Barbara Walters
Indecisive quotes by Barbara Walters
People say I'm indecisive, but I don't know about that. ~ George H. W. Bush
Indecisive quotes by George H. W. Bush
So the researchers concluded that being forced to confront trade-offs in making decisions makes people unhappy and indecisive. ~ Barry Schwartz
Indecisive quotes by Barry Schwartz
Complexities only happen when we are indecisive, dear child. ~ Cole McCade
Indecisive quotes by Cole McCade
For the record, I'm not an indecisive person, and I'm not a coward. I just have a very detailed imaginary life, and it sometimes takes precedence over what's actually happening around me. ~ Elizabeth Bard
Indecisive quotes by Elizabeth Bard
In his faded tartan bathrobe and brown leather slippers with the rundown heels, his hair all in sleep corkscrews and Alfalfa cowlicks, he looked to her like an absurd twentieth-century Hamlet, an indecisive figure so mesmerized by onrushing tragedy that he was helpless to divert its course or alter it in any way. (jesus ~ Stephen King
Indecisive quotes by Stephen King
So I waited. Then I got used to waiting. Eventually, waiting was more real than what we had. ~ Andre Aciman
Indecisive quotes by Andre Aciman
If I decide to be indecisive, that's my decision. ~ Roger McGough
Indecisive quotes by Roger McGough
I am perpetually indecisive on even the most mundane decisions, and I couldn't imagine leaving such an important choice to other people ~ Aziz Ansari
Indecisive quotes by Aziz Ansari
You are not weak. You are not indecisive. You are strong. Fierce. Capable beyond measure. ~ Renee Ahdieh
Indecisive quotes by Renee Ahdieh
As much as we don't want to except it, there is a time limit to the best life God tries to offer you. When you disrespect it, push it away, play games with it, deny it, ignore it, are casually indecisive about it or hold it like a last resort, God gives it away to someone else that will cherish it more. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Indecisive quotes by Shannon L. Alder
A diminished self-image will cause you to slouch, to avoid meeting others, to avoid looking others in the eye, to be unassertive, and to be indecisive. ~ Chris Prentiss
Indecisive quotes by Chris Prentiss
In the Great War, there is no room for the faint-hearted, the cowardly. A criminal or an anarchist will be better conditioned than a bourgeois, indecisive or cowardly man. They only need a push in the right direction. Only one who is born a hero or a warrior has a place in our order. Only the Lord of the Pure Will can march to the end, breaking in the gates of the City of Eternal Life. Because will, through its perseverance, creates the thing it contemplates. Only the Wild Hordes of Odin and Parsifal will achieve the Graal. ~ Miguel Serrano
Indecisive quotes by Miguel Serrano
Watching him, it's easy to ignore Carter's miserable expression, Selena's resentment, to push Seth out of my mind completely. Because there is no way I'm going to let an indecisive angel tell me what I should and shouldn't do. ~ Katie Klein
Indecisive quotes by Katie Klein
It is better to run the risk of being considered indecisive, better to be uncertain and not promise, than to promise and not fulfill. ~ Oswald Chambers
Indecisive quotes by Oswald Chambers
You will have a lot of difficulties in achieving goals if you are indecisive and if you are afraid of incorrect actions ~ Sunday Adelaja
Indecisive quotes by Sunday Adelaja
You can even say that I hated myself at certain periods. I was too fat, or maybe too tall, or maybe just plain too ugly ... you can say my definiteness stems from underlying feelings of insecurity and inferiority. I couldn't conquer these feelings by acting indecisive. I found the only way to get the better of them was by adopting a forceful, concentrated drive. ~ Audrey Hepburn
Indecisive quotes by Audrey Hepburn
Many a choice is made this way: By pretending it makes itself. ~ Laini Taylor
Indecisive quotes by Laini Taylor
Let no one reduce to tears or reproach
This statement of the mastery of God,
Who, with magnificent irony, gave
Me at once both books and night

Of this city of books He pronounced rulers
These lightless eyes, who can only
Peruse in libraries of dreams
The insensible paragraphs that yield

With every new dawn. Vainly does the day
Lavish on them its infinite books,
Arduous as the arduous manuscripts
Which at Alexandria did perish.

Of hunger and thirst (a Greek story tells us)
Dies a king amidst fountains and gardens;
I aimlessly weary at the confines
Of this tall and deep blind library.

Encyclopedias, atlases, the East
And the West, centuries, dynasties
Symbols, cosmos and cosmogonies
Do walls proffer, but pointlessly.

Slow in my shadow, I the hollow shade
Explore with my indecisive cane;
To think I had imagined Paradise
In the form of such a library.

Something, certainly not termed
Fate, rules on such things;
Another had received in blurry
Afternoons both books and shadow.

Wandering through these slow corridors
I often feel with a vague and sacred dread
That I am another, the dead one, who must
Have trodden the same steps at the same time.

Which of the two is now writing this poem
Of a plural I and of a single shadow?
How important ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Indecisive quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Love will make you weak and indecisive, remember?" she murmured.
What a fool he had been. For a journey like theirs, love was the only thing that would make him strong enough.
"Don't ever listen to an idiot like me," he answered. ~ Sherry Thomas
Indecisive quotes by Sherry Thomas
When I'm tired and therefore indecisive, it can take half an hour to choose the book I am going to have with me while I brush my teeth. ~ Francis Spufford
Indecisive quotes by Francis Spufford
Faltering thinking and indecisive conduct often result in losing ground and yielding to bleak caginess that generates the redoubtable Buridan's syndrome. As Buridan's ass is placed equally between a stack of hay and a pail of water, it dies of both hunger and thirst. ("The door was still ajar") ~ Erik Pevernagie
Indecisive quotes by Erik Pevernagie
In my view what you can't argue for is a system that is neither decisive nor proportional and can be indecisive and disproportionate at the same time. ~ William Hague
Indecisive quotes by William Hague
And looking up at him right now, half of me doesn't even want to fight him. I don't know if I should scream for help or rip off my clothes. ~ Colleen Hoover
Indecisive quotes by Colleen Hoover
You will never be indecisive if you know your purpose. ~ Lou Holtz
Indecisive quotes by Lou Holtz
Indecisive? Uncertain? Worried? Let the rolling ivory tumble your burdens away. $2.50 per pair. ~ Luke Rhinehart
Indecisive quotes by Luke Rhinehart
Very few people are able to organize and direct followers, which is a far more subtle and multifaceted skill. Leadership is really a form of temporary authority that others grant you, and they only follow you if they find you consistently credible. It's all about perception - and if teammates find you the least bit inconsistent, moody, unpredictable, indecisive, or emotionally unreliable, then they balk and the whole team is destabilized. ~ Pat Summitt
Indecisive quotes by Pat Summitt
We cannot achieve or goal when we are afraid, not confident, passive and indecisive ~ Sunday Adelaja
Indecisive quotes by Sunday Adelaja
I think I've done more right than wrong on foreign policy. I've criticized the president for being weak and indecisive. I've been a problem solver in Washington and I think I've got something to offer the party and nation. ~ Lindsey Graham
Indecisive quotes by Lindsey Graham
Americans do not like long wars with indecisive outcomes. ~ Paul Gigot
Indecisive quotes by Paul Gigot
Understanding the world too well, you see too many options and become as indecisive as Hamlet.
No matter how far we progress, we remain part animal, and it is the animal in us that fires our strategies, gives them life, animates us to fight. Without the desire to fight, without a capacity for the violence war churns up, we cannot deal with danger.
The prudent Odysseus types are comfortable with both sides of their nature. They plan ahead as best they can, see far and wide, but when it comes time to move ahead, they move. Knowing how to control your emotions means not repressing them completely but using them to their best effect. ~ Robert Greene
Indecisive quotes by Robert Greene
Indecisive people are the most troublesome and frustrating type of persons. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Indecisive quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Seems indecisive, doesn't it? Either be a period or be a comma, but make up your mind. ~ Jodi Picoult
Indecisive quotes by Jodi Picoult
The years that were ahead. As he said, this made action impossible. Because Ian didn't know that twentysomethings who make choices are happier than those who tread water, he kept himself confused. This was easy to do. Ian hung out with an indecisive crowd. At the bike shop where he worked, his friends assured him he didn't need to make decisions ~ Meg Jay
Indecisive quotes by Meg Jay
If you are indecisive, make decisions quickly and act in accordance with your decisions you will be able to acquire a new habit ~ Sunday Adelaja
Indecisive quotes by Sunday Adelaja
We say to the confused, Know thyself, as if knowing yourself was not the fifth and most difficult of human arithmetical operations, we say to the apathetic, Where there's a will, there's a way, as if the brute realities of the world did not amuse themselves each day by turning that phrase on its head, we say to the indecisive, Begin at the beginning, as if beginning were the clearly visible point of a loosely wound thread and all we had to do was to keep pulling until we reached the other end, and as if, between the former and the latter, we had held in our hands a smooth, continuous thread with no knots to untie, no snarls to untangle, a complete impossibility in the life of a skein, or indeed, if we may be permitted one more stock phrase, in the skein of life. ~ Jose Saramago
Indecisive quotes by Jose Saramago
In its severe forms, depression paralyzes all of the otherwise vital forces that make us human, leaving instead a bleak, despairing, desperate, and deadened state ... Life is bloodless, pulseless, and yet present enough to allow a suffocating horror and pain. All bearings are lost; all things are dark and drained of feeling. The slippage into futility is first gradual, then utter. Thought, which is as pervasively affected by depression as mood, is morbid, confused, and stuporous. It is also vacillating, ruminative, indecisive, and self-castigating. The body is bone-weary; there is no will; nothing is that is not an effort, and nothing at all seems worth it. Sleep is fragmented, elusive, or all-consuming. Like an unstable, gas, an irritable exhaustion seeps into every crevice of thought and action. ~ Kay Redfield Jamison
Indecisive quotes by Kay Redfield Jamison
The spiritual leader will not procrastinate when faced with a decision, nor vacillate after making it. A sincere but faulty decision is better than weak-willed "trial balloons" or indecisive overtures. To postpone decision is really to decide for the status quo. In most decisions the key element is not so much knowing what to do but in living with the results. ~ J. Oswald Sanders
Indecisive quotes by J. Oswald Sanders
A diminished self-image causes us to slouch, to avoid looking others in the eye, to be unassertive, to be indecisive. On the other hand, a healthy self-image causes us to carry ourselves well, to speak confidently and to portray dignity. If we have not taken the time and thought to create a wonderful self-image for ourselves, we have had less, been less, and done less than was possible for us than if we had. We can improve our self-images at any moment including this one. ~ Wu Wei
Indecisive quotes by Wu Wei
I am fascinated by the indecisive moment and the peripheral view. ~ Doug Aitken
Indecisive quotes by Doug Aitken
We associate leadership with decisiveness. That perception of leadership pushes people to make decisions fairly quickly, lest they be seen as dithering and indecisive. ~ Daniel Kahneman
Indecisive quotes by Daniel Kahneman
Indecisive? Ask Yourself the Question: Does It Add Value To My Life and Makes Me Happy? ~ Marieke Stoop
Indecisive quotes by Marieke Stoop
I am a boy and a girl and a witch all wrapped into one very strange, flimsy, indecisive body. Do you think my body couldn't decide what it wanted to be? ~ Rivers Solomon
Indecisive quotes by Rivers Solomon
For years I lived in inner terror that I was, at heart, a weak and indecisive man. I think it was this fear that made me sick. Dean showed me how foolish all this was. 'Face the truth, Ken,' he told me. 'You are weak. All of us are. Come to terms with it.'
But then he pointed out I didn't have to stay this way, that God was certainly not weak. Dean has helped me understand that if I have the Spirit of God within me, then His strength would replace my weakness ... ~ Catherine Marshall
Indecisive quotes by Catherine Marshall
A committed heart does not wait for conditions to be exactly right. Why? Because conditions are never exactly right. Indecision limits the Almighty and His ability to perform miracles in your life. He has put the vision in you - proceed! To wait, to wonder, to doubt, to be indecisive is to disobey God. ~ Andy Andrews
Indecisive quotes by Andy Andrews
I suspect people who are indecisive are people who are far too enamored of analysis in all settings and are destroying their ability to make an instinctive judgment through over-analysis
and that's dangerous. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Indecisive quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
Words are Hamlet's constant companions, his weapons, and his defenses ...
And yet, words also serve as Hamlet's prison. He analyzes and examines every nuance of his situation until he has exhausted every angle. They cause him to be indecisive. He dallies in his own wit, intoxicated by the mix of words he can concoct; he frustrates his own burning desire to be more like his father, the Hyperion. When he says that Claudius is " ... no more like my father than I to Hercules" he recognizes his enslavement to words, his inability to thrust home his sword of truth. No mythic character is Hamlet. He is stuck, unable to avenge his father's death because words control him. ~ Carla Lynn Stockton
Indecisive quotes by Carla Lynn Stockton
Today the invisible hand seems confused and indecisive ... Ideology and rhetoric increasingly guide policy decision, often bearing little relationship to factual reality. And the America we once knew seems divided and angry, defiantly embracing unreason. ~ Shawn Lawrence Otto
Indecisive quotes by Shawn Lawrence Otto
Meetings were, almost by definition, the product of the indecisive mind, and so they were usually run, and often populated, by indecisive people. ~ Stephen Moss
Indecisive quotes by Stephen Moss
Usually, she considered Valgu a solid judge of character. She found it easy to concede trust to those he would call friend. But this man, and his brazen claim that he had the ability to restore her wings. Tegija seemed task oriented, and had an heir of self important pride, common traits among attractive men. Tegija was in all things the exact opposite of her private nightmare. The one where her brothers failed to retrieve her, and the House sold her off to some nervous indecisive man child.
No one had even bothered to introduce them. ~ Andrea Luhman
Indecisive quotes by Andrea Luhman
Schizophrenic is the best word - I change from day to day. I can be quite confusing. Indecisive, workaholic, and tired today. ~ Brian Molko
Indecisive quotes by Brian Molko
There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision. ~ William James
Indecisive quotes by William James
The conflicts made him an indecisive mediator - a man, as someone had once observed, who couldn't keep his feet out of the shit on either side because he couldn't get the fencepost out of his ass. ~ Stephen R. Donaldson
Indecisive quotes by Stephen R. Donaldson
Society has traditionally reinforced the idea that girls are inferior to boys, that girls can't take care of themselves, and that women need men to take care of them. We've all seen men portrayed in the media as stronger, more competent, and smarter than women, while women are often portrayed as highly emotional, indecisive, scatterbrained, passive, illogical, manipulative, and even malevolent. Such stereotypes further damage a young girl's ability to see herself as a strong and worthwhile person. Coupled with these views is the disparity between the accomplishments for which boys are admired and those for which girls are admired. While girls may be praised for their manners and appearance, boys are often praised for academic achievements and physical strength. Girls may also be discouraged from exploring and mastering life and encouraged instead to develop skills to manipulate others to negotiate in the world for them. What these girls are getting are lessons in helplessness. ~ Susan Forward
Indecisive quotes by Susan Forward
No good neurotic finds it difficult to be both opinionated and indecisive. ~ Mignon McLaughlin
Indecisive quotes by Mignon McLaughlin
There is no middle ground for moral choice and political decision because by being on a safe side, any indecisive act poses a moral hazard to the individual freedom and integrity of a democratic society.

~ Danny Castillones Sillada, The Postmodern Filipino Prince: The Moral Hazard of Political Indecision ~ Danny Castillones Sillada
Indecisive quotes by Danny Castillones Sillada
This mindset, known as loss aversion, the sunk-cost fallacy, and throwing good money after bad, is patently irrational, but it is surprisingly pervasive in human decision-making.65 People stay in an abusive marriage because of the years they have already put into it, or sit through a bad movie because they have already paid for the ticket, or try to reverse a gambling loss by doubling their next bet, or pour money into a boondoggle because they've already poured so much money into it. Though psychologists don't fully understand why people are suckers for sunk costs, a common explanation is that it signals a public commitment. The person is announcing: "When I make a decision, I'm not so weak, stupid, or indecisive that I can be easily talked out of it." In a contest of resolve like an attrition game, loss aversion could serve as a costly and hence credible signal that the contestant is not about to concede, preempting his opponent's strategy of outlasting him just one more round. ~ Steven Pinker
Indecisive quotes by Steven Pinker
Be certain," Catelyn told her son, "or go home and take up that wooden sword again. You cannot afford to seem indecisive in front of men like Roose Bolton and Rickard Karstark. Make no mistake, Robb-these are your bannermen, not your friends. You named yourself battle commander. Command. ~ George R R Martin
Indecisive quotes by George R R Martin
The third peculiarity of aerial warfare was that it was at once enormously destructive and entirely indecisive. ~ H.G.Wells
Indecisive quotes by H.G.Wells
Fifty percent of life is ninety percent indecisive. The rest is confusing. ~ Brian Spellman
Indecisive quotes by Brian Spellman
When ordering lunch, the big executives are just as indecisive as the rest of us. ~ William Feather
Indecisive quotes by William Feather
He looked to her like an absurd twentieth-century Hamlet, an indecisive figure so mesmerized by onrushing tragedy that he was helpless to divert its course or alter it in any way. ~ Stephen King
Indecisive quotes by Stephen King
The word tomorrow was invented for indecisive people and for children. ~ Ivan Turgenev
Indecisive quotes by Ivan Turgenev
I am officially turning him over to you. He's your problem now. You'll have to watch out for him and that won't be easy. He's naive, gullible, immature, horribly unsophisticated, ignorant about anything worth knowing, and idealistic to a fault." He paused to make a show of thinking harder. "He's also indecisive, pathetically honest, a horrible liar, and too virtuous for words. He gets up twice each night to relieve himself, wads his clothes rather than folds them, chews with his mouth open, and talks with his mouth full. He has a nasty habit of cracking his knuckles every morning at breakfast, and, of course, he snores. To remedy that, just put a rock under his blanket. ~ Michael J. Sullivan
Indecisive quotes by Michael J. Sullivan
Mind is basically the beginning of madness. And if you are too much in it, it will drive you mad.

Mind has no certainity about anything. If you are betweeen two polarities of the mind,in a limbo--always to do or not to do,you will go crazy. You are crazy! Before it happens,jump out and have a look from outside at the mind.

Mind is basically indecisive and awareness is basically decisive.So any act of awareness is total,full without repentance. ~ Osho
Indecisive quotes by Osho
I am very indecisive. I'm always afraid of making the wrong decision. ~ Katie Leung
Indecisive quotes by Katie Leung
I am irrevocably committed to being permanently indecisive. ~ Ashleigh Brilliant
Indecisive quotes by Ashleigh Brilliant
Your girlfriend is a narcissistic bitch, and you're an indecisive coward. Congrats on creating a little human that's perfect. ~ Tarryn Fisher
