This is how it must go. There will be catastrophes. Disastrous setbacks and slaughters. But life is going someplace. It wants to know itself; it wants the power of choice. It wants solutions to problems that nothing alive yet knows how to solve, and it's willing to use even death to find them. ~ Richard Powers
The Power Of Choice quotes by Richard Powers
Convince a man that he is an animal, that his own dignity and selfrespect are delusions, that there is no 'beyond' to aspire to, no higher potential self to achieve, and you have a slave. Let a man know he is himself, a spiritual being, that he is capable of the power of choice and has the right to aspire to greater wisdom and you have started him up a higher road. ~ L. Ron Hubbard
The Power Of Choice quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
We cannot break the Ten Commandments. We can only break ourselves against them - or else, by keeping them, rise through them to the fulness of freedom under God. God means us to be free. With divine daring, he gave us the power of choice. ~ Cecil B. DeMille
The Power Of Choice quotes by Cecil B. DeMille
The only way God could impose peace on the world would be to robotize our wills and rob every human being of the power of choice. He has not chosen to do that. He has given every person a free will. ~ John Haggai
The Power Of Choice quotes by John Haggai
Gods are not granted the power of choice; it is the price and the wonder of their godhead. ~ Robert Silverberg
The Power Of Choice quotes by Robert Silverberg
I have the power of choice in every moment. Where will I place my attention? What do I hold sacred? Whom can I love right now? ~ Fred Small
The Power Of Choice quotes by Fred Small
Appearances are deceiving. *Having* authority is not the same as *being* an authority. *Having* the right and *being* the right are not the same either. Being promoted doesn't necessarily mean you're doing good work and it doesn't mean you are worthy of promotion (they call it failing upward in such bureaucracies). *Impressing people is utterly different from being truly impressive.*

To be or to do - life is a constant roll call. ~ Ryan Holiday
The Power Of Choice quotes by Ryan Holiday
The endorphin high of birth will fade, but its trace remains with you forever, its fingerprints indelible proof of love's presence and daily grandeur. You have offered up your prayer. You have vowed service to a new world and laid a bedrock of earthly faith. You have chosen your sword, your shield, and where you will fall. Whatever the morrow brings, these things, these people, will be with you always. The power of choice, of a life, a lover, a place to stand, will be there to be called upon and make fresh sense of your tangled history. More important, it will also be there when you waver, when you're lost, providing you with the elements of a new compass, encased within your heart. ~ Bruce Springsteen
The Power Of Choice quotes by Bruce Springsteen
We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice. ~ Stephen Covey
The Power Of Choice quotes by Stephen Covey
Over the past seventy years the various identity struggles have to some degree remediated the great wrongs that have been done to workers, people of color, Indigenous Peoples, women, gays and lesbians, and the disabled, while helping to humanize our society overall. But they have also had a shadow side in the sense that they have encouraged us to think of ourselves more as determined than as self-determining, more as victims of 'isms' (racism, sexism, capitalism, ableism) than as human beings who have the power of choice. For our own survival we must assume individual and collective responsibility for creating a new nation - one that is loved rather than feared and one that does not have to bribe and bully other nations to win support. ~ Grace Lee Boggs
The Power Of Choice quotes by Grace Lee Boggs
For what is man without desires, without free will, and without the power of choice but a stop in an organ pipe? ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Power Of Choice quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
A subtle form of temptation, very likely to attack one during a wakeful hour of the night when vitality is at its lowest. Because it suddenly seems impossible to go on, values are abruptly turned upside down. To endure
which perhaps a mere half hour before was the right and obvious thing to do
is now presented to the mind as simply ridiculous; escape, which would have seemed despicable a little while ago, now seems to be the only sane course of action. The experienced man knows that it is not impossible to go on because one thinks it is, that you can always go on in some manner while the power of choice remains. This sudden reversal of the values is a temptation to preordain the moment when a man can no longer make his choice, and his responsibility for what happens next must be laid down. Faced with it, the experienced man once more chooses to come to grips with the impossible and finds it possible. ~ Elizabeth Goudge
The Power Of Choice quotes by Elizabeth Goudge
Commerce is the agency by which the power of choice is obtained. ~ John Ruskin
The Power Of Choice quotes by John Ruskin
We are both burdened and blessed by the great responsibility of the will - the power of choice. Our future is determined, in large part, by the choices we make now. We cannot always control our circumstances, but we can and do choose our response to whatever arises. Reclaiming the power of choice, we find the courage to live fully in the world. ~ Dan Millman
The Power Of Choice quotes by Dan Millman
The economic freedom which is the prerequisite of any other freedom cannot be the freedom from economic care which the socialist promise us, and which can be obtained only by relieving the individual at the same time of the necessity and of the power of choice: it must be the freedom of economic activity which, with the right of choice, inevitably also carries the risk and the responsibility of that right ~ Friedrich August Von Hayek
The Power Of Choice quotes by Friedrich August Von Hayek
I possess the greatest power ever bestowed upon mankind, the power of choice. ~ Andy Andrews
The Power Of Choice quotes by Andy Andrews
The great thing about life-the most magnificent thing about being these sentient human beings-is that we have been given the power of choice. ~ Bryant McGill
The Power Of Choice quotes by Bryant McGill
I'm not leaving the plane that way," I said to myself. That's when I discovered the power of choice - a third place that is neither "have to" or "want to." That discovery freed me to move forward to make two other choices: I'm not going to be kicked out of this plane; and If I'm going to leave this plane, it will be under my own power. I'm going to maximize my chances of a safe exit. The change in my feelings at that moment was quite dramatic. Stress was replaced with purposeful action; a sense of victimhood was transformed into empowerment. There was no hesitation, no ambivalence. ~ Neil A. Fiore
The Power Of Choice quotes by Neil A. Fiore
The message was, the choices you make can have bad consequences. Everyone has the power of choice. Just like this kid had the power of choice to steal my car. ~ Bill Vaughan
The Power Of Choice quotes by Bill Vaughan
Healing takes time, and its duration cannot be controlled.
Some people are angry with us, or we are angry with them.
Some people leave us, or we leave them.
All this hurts, and takes time to heal.
We don't have power over the amount of time it takes to heal all these grievances.
Yet, no matter how powerless we are over the time it takes to heal, we do have all the power that truly matters.
And this is the power to say YES to Healing.
This is the greatest power possible,
for when we say YES to healing,
time disappears.
And then there is only the YES,
which is the power of choice to heal.
Time is always filled with grievances,
because through time people come and go from our life,
and we come and go from theirs.
When time ends,
Healing begins.
And time can end now,
if you say YES to Healing.
And if you say YES to Healing,
you are with everyone and everyone is with you,
unconditionally, right now, and forever.
Hence, I do say YES to Healing,
and, if you wish,
you can also join me,
for I love to Heal with you. ~ Franco Santoro
The Power Of Choice quotes by Franco Santoro

The Power Of Choice quotes by Kathy Smith
We've been gifted with the power of choice ... in our actions, our thoughts, and our words. The quality of our lives gets better or worse depending on which direction we go with our choices. ~ Shawn Anderson
The Power Of Choice quotes by Shawn Anderson
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 Power Of Choice quotes by Harry Browne
Managing the power of choice, with all its creative and spiritual implications, is the essence of the human experience. All spiritual teachings are directed toward inspiring us to recognize that the power to make choices is the dynamic that converts our spirits into matter, our words into flesh. Choice is the process of creation itself. ~ Caroline Myss
The Power Of Choice quotes by Caroline Myss
Misunderstandings are a normal part of life, and the outcomes of these depend upon how we choose to react to them. ~ C. JoyBell C.
The Power Of Choice quotes by C. JoyBell C.
My Rich Dad said, 'All of us have the power of choice. I choose to be rich, and I make that choice every day.' ~ Robert Kiyosaki
The Power Of Choice quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
Somebody once asked me if I believed in God. It was probably the windup to some major proselytizing, but it's a good question. Do I believe in God? That somebody made all this happen for a reason, that there's something waiting for us after we die? That there's a purpose to all this crap? I don't know. I'd like to be able to say "Yes, of course" almost as much as I'd like to be able to say "Absolutely not," but there's evidence on both sides of the fence. Good people die for nothing, little kids go hungry, corrupt men hold positions of power, and horrible diseases go uncured. And I got Shaun, maybe the only person who could make it seem worthwhile to me. I got Shaun. So, is there a God? Sorry to dodge the question, but I just don't know. ~ Mira Grant
The Power Of Choice quotes by Mira Grant
All knowledge that Science has acquired so far, has been through the concentration of the powers of the mind. ~ Abhijit Naskar
The Power Of Choice quotes by Abhijit Naskar
But I believe we have a higher level of mentality within us, but we have to use the power in the right way. ~ Tina Turner
The Power Of Choice quotes by Tina Turner
The goal, I submit, is obvious: subjugating the world (which is barbarian, dangerous, envious and ungrateful) to US power for the sake of America's interests. ~ Breyten Breytenbach
The Power Of Choice quotes by Breyten Breytenbach
A party, or any institution that is in power or in opposition, does all things to get only for its own goal and interests, no matter in a legal way or through illegal resources, like forces, print and electronic media, and negative propaganda among the people , spending the millions of money for this. It is called dirty politics by the support of evil spirits. ~ Ehsan Sehgal
The Power Of Choice quotes by Ehsan Sehgal
As a principle-centered person, you see things differently. And because you see things differently, you think differently, you act differently. Because you have a high degree of security, guidance, wisdom, and power that flows from a solid, unchanging core, you have the foundation of a highly proactive and highly effective life. ~ Stephen R. Covey
The Power Of Choice quotes by Stephen R. Covey
Oh, everything is fun when I'm around." Hercules's knees knocked into the back of my seat as he leaned back. "This one time, when I was ordered by the gods to . . ."

I could only think of three words.

Fuck. My. Life.

"You should drive, because I'm going to end it all. Once we're on the freeway, I'm going to jump out of this vehicle and throw myself in front of a Mack truck."

Josie's laugh cut off her yawn. "That's a little excessive."

Adjusting the sunglasses I'd stolen from Aiden yesterday morning, I smirked. "I do not think anything is excessive when it comes to him."

"But that won't even kill you."

I sighed. "Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it'll knock me unconscious for the time being. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
The Power Of Choice quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
One day, John asked her to define sin. I doubt any theologian could have done better than she did: "Son, whatever weakens your reasoning, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes away your relish for spiritual things; in short, if anything increases the authority and power of the flesh over the Spirit, then that to you becomes sin, however good it is in itself."1That definition became the guiding beacon for John. He carved it into his consciousness. His mother inbred in him his sensitivity to sin. ~ Ravi Zacharias
The Power Of Choice quotes by Ravi Zacharias
Meanwhile with the help of an anecdote I fell in love. Words caravaggio. They have a power. ~ Michael Ondaatje
The Power Of Choice quotes by Michael Ondaatje
They lack suggestive power. And when a book lacks suggestive power, however hard it hits the surface of the mind it cannot penetrate within. ~ Virginia Woolf
The Power Of Choice quotes by Virginia Woolf
An individual can be hurt in countless ways by other men's irrationality, dishonesty, injustice. Above all, he can be disappointed, perhaps grievously, by the vices of a person he had once trusted or loved. But as long as his property is not expropriated and he remains unmolested physically, the damage he sustains is essentially spiritual, not physical; in such a case, the victim alone has the power and the responsibility of healing his wounds. He remains free: free to think, to learn from his experiences, to look elsewhere for human relationships; he remains free to start afresh and to pursue his happiness. ~ Leonard Peikoff
The Power Of Choice quotes by Leonard Peikoff
Socialism and federalism are necessarily political opposites, because the former demands that centralized concentration of power which the latter by definition denies. ~ Felix Morley
The Power Of Choice quotes by Felix Morley
To submit isn't to be forced. It's to yield to a force greater than your own, in order to become part of the whole. ~ Dianna Hardy
The Power Of Choice quotes by Dianna Hardy
We do not admit the authority of the church with respect to its pretended infallibility, its manufactured miracles, its setting itself up to forgive sins. It was by propagating that belief and supporting it with fire that she kept up her temporal power. ~ Thomas Paine
The Power Of Choice quotes by Thomas Paine
When you have enough power and money, you can dictate the meanings of words. ~ Maureen Johnson
The Power Of Choice quotes by Maureen Johnson
Korea can't become a 'first-class' nation unless regulation and 'a sense of power' disappear. The nation's politics is the fourth-class, bureaucratic are the third-class, and business is the second-class. ~ Lee Kun-hee
The Power Of Choice quotes by Lee Kun-hee
Let my worship be within the heart that rejoices,
for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals.
Therefore, let there be beauty and strength,
power and compassion, honor and humility,
mirth and reverence within you. ~ Doreen Valiente
The Power Of Choice quotes by Doreen Valiente
There were two Shu with wings, and a man and a woman who were … not normal."
"Nina's power had no effect on them," said Wylan.
"Hmm," Nina said noncommittally, nibbling daintily at the edge of a biscuit. Inej had never seen Nina nibble daintily on anything. Her appetite clearly hadn't returned, but Inej wondered if there was more to it.
Matthias joined them at the table. "The Shu woman we faced was stronger than me, Jesper, and Wylan put together."
"You heard right," said Jesper. "Stronger than Wylan."
"I did my part," objected Wylan. ~ Leigh Bardugo
The Power Of Choice quotes by Leigh Bardugo
There is a room in the Department of Mysteries, that is kept locked at all times. It contains a force that is at once more wonderful and more terrible than death, than human intelligence, than forces of nature. It is also, perhaps, the most mysterious of the many subjects for study that reside there. It is the power held within that room that you possess in such quantities and which Voldemort has not at all. That power took you to save Sirius tonight. That power also saved you from possession by Voldemort, because he could not bear to reside in a body so full of the force he detests. In the end, it mattered not that you could not close your mind. It was your heart that saved you. ~ J.K. Rowling
The Power Of Choice quotes by J.K. Rowling
It is not the source but the limitation of power which prevents it from being
arbitrary. ~ Friedrich August Von Hayek
The Power Of Choice quotes by Friedrich August Von Hayek
Lourdes
Poetry is my Lourdes ~
a spiritual oasis where I come to heal
in the divine power of words. ~ Beryl Dov
The Power Of Choice quotes by Beryl Dov
The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power, joy, happiness to go around. ~ Rhonda Byrne
The Power Of Choice quotes by Rhonda Byrne
But confining myself more to the particular, I say that a prince may be seen happy to-day and ruined to-morrow without having shown any change of disposition or character. This, I believe, arises firstly from causes that have already been discussed at length, namely, that the prince who relies entirely upon fortune is lost when it changes. I believe also that he will be successful who directs his actions according to the spirit of the times, and that he whose actions do not accord with the times will not be successful. Because men are seen, in affairs that lead to the end which every man has before him, namely, glory and riches, to get there by various methods; one with caution, another with haste; one by force, another by skill; one by patience, another by its opposite; and each one succeeds in reaching the goal by a different method. One can also see of two cautious men the one attain his end, the other fail; and similarly, two men by different observances are equally successful, the one being cautious, the other impetuous; all this arises from nothing else than whether or not they conform in their methods to the spirit of the times. This follows from what I have said, that two men working differently bring about the same effect, and of two working similarly, one attains his object and the other does not. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
The Power Of Choice quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
The wife carries the burden of the marriage on her shoulders," his mother said. "Her husband, herself, both of them, their covenant, and everything else that gets added over the years. And all that is very, very heavy. It is in her power to keep the marriage alive and thriving, but also to drive it to the brink of crisis and back again. For whatever reason, men have not taken this role upon themselves. Perhaps they are not capable. Now, as you know, every empty space, every abyss created in nature fills itself, and this one is filled by women out of a sense of responsibility and maybe also the will to control. It's a simple matter, really, but in case you haven't understood, I'll explain it: your wife must be happy, satisfied, fulfilled, and impassioned, and then the burden of marriage will not be heavy for her. She'll be prepared to take it upon herself for better and for worse until the very day that one of you shuts your eyes for good. ~ Anat Talshir
The Power Of Choice quotes by Anat Talshir
We must move beyond an anemic view of our faith as something only personal and private, with no public dimension, and instead see it as the source of power that can change the world. ~ Richard Stearns
The Power Of Choice quotes by Richard Stearns
The highest proof of virtue is to possess boundless power without abusing it. ~ Thomas Babington Macaulay
The Power Of Choice quotes by Thomas Babington Macaulay
Writing with voice is writing into which someone has breathed. It has that fluency, rhythm, and liveliness that exist naturally in the speech of most people when they are enjoying a conversation ... Writing with real voice has the power to make you pay attention and understand
the words go deep. ~ Peter Elbow
The Power Of Choice quotes by Peter Elbow
In the 1950s kids lost their innocence.
They were liberated from their parents by well-paying jobs, cars, and lyrics in music that gave rise to a new term ---the generation gap.

In the 1960s, kids lost their authority.
It was a decade of protest---church, state, and parents were all called into question and found wanting. Their authority was rejected, yet nothing ever replaced it.

In the 1970s, kids lost their love. It was the decade of me-ism dominated by hyphenated words beginning with self.
Self-image, Self-esteem, Self-assertion....It made for a lonely world. Kids learned everything there was to know about sex and forgot everything there was to know about love, and no one had the nerve to tell them there was a difference.

In the 1980s, kids lost their hope.
Stripped of innocence, authority and love and plagued by the horror of a nuclear nightmare, large and growing numbers of this generation stopped believing in the future.

In the 1990s kids lost their power to reason. Less and less were they taught the very basics of language, truth, and logic and they grew up with the irrationality of a postmodern world.

In the new millennium, kids woke up and found out that somewhere in the midst of all this change, they had lost their imagination. Violence and perversion entertained them till none could talk of killing innocents since none was innocent anymore. ~ Ravi Zacharias
The Power Of Choice quotes by Ravi Zacharias

Letti wasn't born to pass through the world. She had been born to sit atop of it. ~ S.R. Crawford
The Power Of Choice quotes by S.R. Crawford
Ultimately, we must turn to the God who is both the One and the Many for the standard of His law. He created to live both as individuals and as corporate units; and His law perfectly balances the liberties of the many with the power of the one political unit. ~ Kevin Swanson
The Power Of Choice quotes by Kevin Swanson
She had not thought it would be so easy to slip into the old roles. Cambridge had changed her fundamentally and she thought she was immune. No one in her family, however, noticed the transformation in her, and she was not able to resist the power of their habitual expectations. ~ Ian McEwan
The Power Of Choice quotes by Ian McEwan
I have both held and beheld unlimited power and of it I know but one thing. It drives men mad.'
- Alexander the Great ~ Matthew Reilly
The Power Of Choice quotes by Matthew Reilly
Music burst through him, perfect notes he hear rarely. Fire and ice, wind and calm, sky and earth, water and rock all fused together. Joley seemed as wild and turbulent s the sea, yet beneath her fiery passion, at the very core of her, she was as forceful and strong and as constant as the deepest ocean currents. Ilya seemed as calm as a windless sea, yet beneath the surface smoldered a volcano of such explosive magnitude, his power could easily sweep everything from his path. Together they completed each other, his melody and hers merging together into a single, perfect harmony. ~ Christine Feehan
The Power Of Choice quotes by Christine Feehan
The viscountess had raised the forefinger of her right hand and made a pretty gesture toward a stool at her feet. There was such intense tyrannical passion in the gesture that the marquis relinquished the doorknob and came back. ~ Honore De Balzac
The Power Of Choice quotes by Honore De Balzac
Alexander the Great was not worried about what other people would think if he made a deal with a woman. It helped that the woman was very smart and knew how to benefit both sides by striking that deal. Ada of Caria negotiated with the Macedonian conqueror by making him her adoptive son and her heir. She got her power back and ruled for a total of nineteen years. ~ Ingrid De Haas
The Power Of Choice quotes by Ingrid De Haas
At last, he began to discourse of fortune and human affairs. "Is it meet," said he, "for him that knows he is but man, in his greatest prosperity to pride himself, and be exalted at the conquest of a city, nation, or kingdom, and not rather well to weigh this change of fortune, in which all warriors may see an example of their common frailty, and learn a lesson that there is nothing durable or constant? For what time can men select to think themselves secure, when that of victory itself forces us more than any to dread our own fortune? and a very little consideration on the law of things, and how all are hurried round, and each man's station changed, will introduce sadness in the midst of the greatest joy. Or can you, when you see before your eyes the succession of Alexander himself, who arrived at the height of power and ruled the greatest empire, in the short space of an hour trodden underfoot- when you behold a king, that was but even now surrounded with so numerous an army, receiving nourishment to support his life from the hands of his conquerors- can you, I say, believe there is any certainty in what we now possess whilst there is such a thing as chance? No, young men, cast off that vain pride and empty boast of victory; sit down with humility, looking always for what is yet to come, and the possible future reverses which the divine displeasure may eventually make the end of our present happiness. ~ Plutarch
The Power Of Choice quotes by Plutarch
Up close the city constitutes an oppressive series of staircases, but from a distance it inspires fantasies of wealth and power so profound that even our communists are temporarily rendered speechless. ~ David Sedaris
The Power Of Choice quotes by David Sedaris
Snapping shut his mobile, Dalgliesh reflected that murder, a unique crime for which no reparation is ever possible, imposes it own compulsions as well as it's conventions. He doubted whether Macklefield [the murder victim's Will attorney] would have interrupted his country weekend for a less sensational crime. As a young officer he, too, had been touched, if unwillingly and temporarily, by the power of murder to attract even while it appalled and repelled. He had watched how people involved as innocent bystanders, provided they were unburdened by grief or suspicion, were engrossed by homicide, drawn inexorably to the place where the crime had occurred in fascinated disbelief. The crowd and the media who served them had not yet congregated outside the wrought-iron gates of the Manor. But they would come, and he doubted whether Chandler-Powell's [owner of the Manor where the murder was committed] private security team would be able to do more than inconvenience them. ~ P.D. James
The Power Of Choice quotes by P.D. James
The power of the visible is the invisible. ~ Marianne Moore
The Power Of Choice quotes by Marianne Moore
Will God or someone give me the power to breathe my sigh into my canvases, the sigh of prayer and sadness, the prayer of salvation, of rebirth? ~ Marc Chagall
The Power Of Choice quotes by Marc Chagall
