“You can't blame anyone else,…, no one but yourself. You have to make your own choices and live every agonizing day with the consequences of those choices.”

“You have a choice. Live or die.
Every breath is a choice.
Every minute is a choice.
Every time you don't throw yourself down the stairs, that's a choice. Every time you don't crash your car, you re-enlist.”

“All my life they had made choices for me, and I had resented it. Now the choice was mine, and once it was made, I would have no right to blame anyone else for the consequences. Loss of that privilege, to blame others, unexpectedly stung.”

“Every day you have a choice. Make it count.”

“You can't let anybody else tell you what your choices are. Sometimes they won't give you the right choice.”

“You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.”

“We live today in a world in which nobody believes choices should have consequences. But may I tell you the great secret that our culture seeks to deny? You cannot escape the consequences of your choices. Time runs in only one direction.”

“You have two choices. you can keep running and hiding and blaming the world for your problems, or you can stand up for yourself and decide to be somebody important.”

“With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.”

“Sometimes you have to accept how things are. You can make it easy on yourself, or you can make it hard. The choice is yours.”
