    I like the 7th and 15th quote! Here are a few others:

    “You always have choices. In everything. It’s just a matter of finding one that allows you to get where you want to go. And to go for it!”
    “Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.”
    “Every individual has a place to fill in the world, and is important in some respect, whether he chooses to be so or not.”

    This one makes sense, but I have certain doubts about, “A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy.” -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

    I choose to be happy and I am, but I know inside me, there is something missing…something that is still incomplete in me.

    I really like 16. 🙂

    Shawn these are tremendous. I love reading these quotes and I love reading everyones responses to them. You have a tremendous project going here. As for me I like this one. We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them. -Kahlil Gibran

    The amazing reality of life is that we are not simply the sum total of all our choices. We are more than that. For the outcome of all our choices provide yet another circumstance within which we do not have to choose to live. We always have the opportunity to make better choices than those we have already made.

      So well-said, David. I’m going to try to remember and always internalize it.

    I learned this, this past year when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer. I spent a good portion of my life unhappy and concentrating on the wrong things. I made the choice after my diagnosis that I would no longer live that way. I have been counting my blessings ever since. Thank you for the great quotes.

    Everything can be taken away from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedom: to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. -Viktor Frankl (1905-1997)
