God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how.

God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.

Disappointment is inevitable. But to become discouraged there's a choice I make. God would never discourage me. He would always point me to himself to trust him. Therefore my discouragement is from Satan. As you go through the emotions that we have hostility is not from God bitterness unforgiveness all of these are attacks from Satan.

There was a certain point in my life where I had to decide that I was going to take my future and Nicole's and not wallow in what happened to me because when you do that you just keep repeating what's been happening and at some point you have to make a choice.

Our choices are going to determine the future for our children our children's children and their children. I take that responsibility very seriously.

I was offered a choice of a flat salary up front or a percentage of the film's future earnings. I took the up front money. Nobody could have figured what Halloween would ultimately become.

Sometimes I make very selfish choices like I did 'Once Upon A Time' for my inner 8-year-old and my hypothetical future child. I've done some movies because I would regret them if I didn't but other projects I've done because they've scared me or if I felt I needed to do a big romantic comedy to help me professionally.

What should be the future of Israel? Is the land the most important choice and for that reason to keep the whole of the land at any cost or to have a partition and build the Jewish state on part of the land? And the other part?

In a time of tight budgets difficult choices have to be made. We must make sure our very limited resources are spent on priorities. I believe we should have no higher priority than investing in our children's classrooms and in their future.

In retrospect the Millennium marked only a moment in time. It was the events of September 11 that marked a turning point in history where we confront the dangers of the future and assess the choices facing humankind.

Up against the corporate government voters find themselves asked to choose between look-alike candidates from two parties vying to see who takes the marching orders from their campaign paymasters and their future employers. The money of vested interest nullifies genuine voter choice and trust.

To me living in the present means being aware of your conscious choice to focus on the past present or future - it is not necessarily having to focus on the present.

People always ask me 'What is it that you regret?' And I say 'nothing because I could not buy what I've learned.' And I apply those things to my life I learn. And hopefully hopefully it helps me to be a better human in the future and make better choices.

Instead of just giving lip service to improving our schools I will actually put the kids first and the teachers union behind in giving our kids better teachers better options and better choices for a better future.

Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for it is a thing to be achieved.

When I was in high school I used to sit by myself in the cafeteria - not necessarily by choice - but I thought it was funny to talk to people that weren't there.

There is nothing funny about a well-adjusted intelligent person making the right choices.

I come more to Scotland than I ever used to so I feel more connected to it more part of the zeitgeist. You know when you realize you have a choice and I'm choosing my homeland. It's funny: when you get older these things creep up to you.

I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies.

I think being funny is not anyone's first choice.

I've got some great guy friends. They can start out as crushes. But when you realize something isn't going to happen you make a choice whether or not the friendship is worth it. And it usually is. Then you can laugh about the fact that you used to have a crush on him or he had one on you.

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success I'd probably choose success.

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.

I was 37 when my father died-and I no longer had any freedom of choice over what I would do with the rest of my life.
