“When you abandon making choices, you enter the vast world of excuses.”

“In life, everybody faces choices between doing what's popular, easy, and wrong vs. doing what's lonely, difficult, and right. These decisions intensify when you run a company, because the consequences get magnified 1,000 fold. As in life, the excuses for CEOs making the wrong choice are always plentiful.”

“It’s the jihadists who decided to make the world a battlefield and to wage war in perpetuity. Until they abandon the field, what choice do we have but to carry the fight to them?”

“When you don’t choose, you excuse.”

“At any given moment in your life, you have the choice between love and fear. And that’s a choice you make. You make the choice of how you react to events.”

“Fate is how your life unfolds when you let fear determine your choices. A path of destiny reveals itself to you, however, when you confront your fear and make conscious choices.”

“It's a choice, Annabel. And if you make the wrong one, you have only yourself to blame when there are consequences.”

“There is everything you know and there is everything that happens. When the two do not line up, you make a choice.”

“Cause there's a time when you're right
And you know you must fight,
Who's laughing, baby? Don't you know?
And there's a choice that we make,
And a choice you must take,
Who's laughing, baby?”

“But when you're alone in the world, really alone, you have no choice but to be open to suggestions.”
