Indecision may or may not be my problem.
Jimmy BuffettI’m very careful about saying who would and wouldn’t go to heaven. I don’t know.
Joel OsteenPeople want to go out and travel around and meet cool people. I could just go live in Vermont, but is that what I really want?
Tom BradySome people feel affronted when something they thought to be true doesn’t happen. If that’s the case, then your sense of risk is much higher, and that leads to risk aversion. You need to be able to be comfortable in uncertainty.
Jim MattisEverything can change at any moment, suddenly and forever.
Paul AusterThe advice that is wanted is commonly not welcome and that which is not wanted, evidently an effrontery.
Samuel JohnsonIt is not scientifically possible to accurately predict the outcome of an action. To suggest otherwise runs contrary to historical experience and the nature of war.
Jim MattisI don’t have all the answers.
Joel OsteenAs a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.
Benjamin DisraeliCommon sense is not so common.
VoltaireNever give a sword to a man who can’t dance.
ConfuciusMy mom was on the United Way group that decides how to allocate the money and looks at all the different charities and makes the very hard decisions about where that pool of funds is going to go.
Bill GatesIf you are part of a religion that very strongly insists that you believe then to decide not to do that is quite a big hurdle to jump over. You never forget the thought process you went through. It becomes part of your whole intellectual picture.
Brian EnoThe safest course is to do nothing against one’s conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and have no fear from death.
VoltaireI’m for women choosing whatever they want to do but they have to really know what they are doing.
Alice WalkerI’ve seen how the issues that come across a president’s desk are always the hard ones – the problems where no amount of data or numbers will get you to the right answer.
Michelle ObamaHe who molds the public sentiment… makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to make.
Abraham LincolnI haven’t gone out of my way to seek advice from people I don’t know.
Lando NorrisFinality is not the language of politics.
Benjamin DisraeliWe are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.
Stephen CoveyNever go on trips with anyone you do not love.
Ernest HemingwayTo some extent I happily don’t know what I’m doing. I feel that it’s an artist’s responsibility to trust that.
David ByrneWhat matters in the Sun-tzu universe are not positions of strength and power, but situations in which you have options, full of potential force.
Robert GreeneAlthough prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.
Winston ChurchillOne of the key qualities a leader must possess is the ability to detach from the chaos, mayhem, and emotions in a situation and make good, clear decisions based on what is actually happening.
Jocko WillinkPut your leaders in stressful scenarios. Make them figure out solutions under pressure. See if you can make them frustrated, angry, and flustered, and then demand decisive leadership from them. They will be challenged at first, but they will get better over time.
Jocko WillinkDon’t run if you can walk. Don’t walk if you can stand. Don’t stand if you can sit. Don’t sit if you can lie down.
Lou HoltzIf you don’t like what you’re doing, then don’t do it.
Ray BradburyTrust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
Ralph Waldo EmersonPolicy makers who have never served in the military continue to use the military to lead social change in this country.

Margaret ThatcherThere is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.
George S. PattonIt’s not worth doing something unless you were doing something that someone, somewere, would much rather you weren’t doing.
Terry PratchettTake the course opposite to custom and you will almost always do well.
Jean-Jacques RousseauWhen should a college athlete turn pro? Not until he has earned all he can in college as an amateur.
Will RogersI definitely connected to the fact that life gets out of control and you end up doing things and wishing you were doing other things instead.
Adam SandlerWhen we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.
Khalil GibranRemember, no one decides who they’re going to vote for based on the vice president. I mean that literally.
Joe BidenWe need an adult in the White House. When making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president can’t just pop off or lash out irrationally.
Michelle ObamaI think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people – one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion’s den. You can’t just play around with all those big cats – you’ve got to take somebody on.
Maya AngelouYou should do what other people do, unless you have a very good reason not to.
Jordan PetersonA jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.
Robert FrostI don’t have a magic formula for prioritizing the world’s problems.
Bill GatesYou’ve got to work things out in the cloakroom, and when you’ve got them worked out, you can debate a little before you vote.
Lyndon B. JohnsonThe more I see the less I know for sure.
John LennonI bought a company in the mid-’90s called Dexter Shoe and paid $400 million for it. And it went to zero. And I gave about $400 million worth of Berkshire stock, which is probably now worth $400 billion. But I’ve made lots of dumb decisions. That’s part of the game.
Warren BuffettWhat is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt?
Khalil GibranWaiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
Paulo CoelhoI think life is a matter of choices and that wherever we are, good or bad, is because of choices we make.
Lou HoltzSometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.
Huey NewtonI would be stupid not to be on my own side. But I’m a human being, too. And I’m on the side of human beings, rather than on the side of crocodiles.
Maya AngelouThough men determine, the gods doo dispose: and oft times many things fall out betweene the cup and the lip.
Robert GreeneEight, as you know, is not a good number for a multi-member court.
Ruth Bader GinsburgBefore I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others.
Stephen HawkingOne of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
PlatoI will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you’re expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you’re not asking for it.
Matthew McConaugheyI thank God I’m in a position where I can pick and choose – there are some roles I don’t play.
Mr. TNever allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes.
Eleanor RooseveltAs far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Albert Einstein
