Better Decisions - Better Lives

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

 

J. K. Rowling

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

 

Robert Frost

Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days...what you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go....


Dr. Seuss

The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.

George Eliot
