"When you have to make a choice..." - Quote by William James

“Every time a resolve or a fine glow of feeling evaporates without bearing practical fruit is worse than a chance lost; it works to hinder future resolutions and emotions from taking the normal path of discharge. There is no more contemptible type of human character than that of the nerveless sentimentalist and dreamer, who spends his life in a weltering sea of sensibility and emotion, but who never does a manly concrete deed.”

“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”

“A man may not achieve everything he has dreamed, but he will never achieve anything great without having dreamed it first.”

“If you don't like where you are, then change it. You are not a tree!”

“There are no have-to's, just choices”

“If you don't make a decision about how you are going to live, then you have already made a decision, haven't you?”

“I reserve the right, as president of the United States to meet with anybody at a time and place of my choosing if I think it's going to keep America safe.”

“Focus is about saying, No. And the result of that focus is going to be some really great products where the total is much greater than the sum of the parts.”

“Let the views of others educate and inform you, but let your decisions be a product of your own conclusions.”
