I make decisions all day, so it’s nice for a woman like me to go to dinner and have the man take the menu and say, ‚Let me order.‘ Other women would be offended by that, but I’m like, ‚Good. Because I can’t make one more decision today.‘ I want someone to rub my feet without being asked.

You do the policy, I’ll do the politics.

Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

My philosophy in life is, Decide what you want to do. You have to have something to hope for.

Ultimately this issue is on us. We’re the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.

It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, ‚always do what you are afraid to do.‘

For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.

Beautiful sentences pop into my head. Beautiful sentences that aren’t always absolutely accurate. Then, I have to choose between the beautiful sentence and being absolutely accurate. It can be a difficult choice.

My one big regret is that I didn’t play on for ten more years.

My parents had us in church every Sunday, every Wednesday. It was more of a tradition at that point; I didn’t have a personal relationship with the Lord until I went to the altar call one Sunday, and the youth pastor told us to make a decision for ourselves.
