“Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice, he ascends.”

The act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits.

So you will be what you will to be.

Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bad fruit.

The price of life is effort; the acme of effort is an accomplishment; the reward of accomplishment is joy.

To desire is to obtain to aspire is to achieve.

A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth.

Doubt and fear are the great enemies of knowledge, and he who encourages them, who does not slay them, thwarts himself at every step.

There is an unavoidable tendency to become literally the embodiment of that quality upon which one most constantly thinks.

Such is the conscious master, and man can only thus become by discovering within himself the laws of thought; which discovery is totally a matter of application, self-analysis, and experience.

The world steps aside for the man who knows where he is going.

Man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.

No man is hindered by another; he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another; he suffers only because of himself.

Unrest and pain and sorrow are the shadows of life.

Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.

Aimlessness is a vice, and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction.

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.

And sometimes love looks like choosing.

Every people has a right to choose the sovereignty under which they shall live.

Women now have choices. They can be married, not married, have a job, not have a job, be married with children, unmarried with children. Men have the same choice we’ve always had: work, or prison.

Should I peel a cap or should I let him survive?

Learn to choose your mental health over old attachments.

I am so sorry; you see, I wanted to love you, but I had to be free.

In the moment you choose not to be vulnerable towards your pain and suffering you also build a wall towards happiness, towards awakening.

I call you to say we have no other choice but to date for a year go our separate ways and cheat on whoever we marry forever.
