~By Kyra Sedgwick ~
If you're just safe about the choices you make, you don't grow.
~By Heath Ledger ~
The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Tse-tung and Mother Theresa - not often coupled with each other, but the two people I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point which is 'you're going to make choices; you're going to challenge; you're going to say why not; you're going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before.
~By Anita Dunn ~

~By Elizabeth Berkley ~

~By Matt Damon ~
As in the rankest soil the most beautiful flowers are grown, so in the dark soil of poverty the choicest flowers of humanity have developed and bloomed.
~By James Allen ~

I truly don't have any formula for the choices I make.
~By Javier Bardem ~

~By Jonathan Coe ~
You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me.
~By Bob Seger ~
Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.
~By Robert Foster Bennett ~
I believe that fate is choices - it's not chance.

~By Buzz Aldrin ~
Everybody gets typecast in movies, but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look, so you have to fight that. If producers had their way, I'd only be in action films, but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.
~By Famke Janssen ~
Sometimes its controversy, but we all have our choices that we make.
