Change and Choices


“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make, makes you. Choose wisely.”
​-- Roy T. Bennett

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
​-- Wayne Dyer

"Change your thoughts and you can change the world."
​-- Norman Vincent Peale

"In every single thing you do, you are choosing a direction. Your life is a product of choices."
-- Dr. Kathleen Hall

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
-- Nelson Mandela

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
​-- Margaret Mead

“It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.”
​-- Roy T. Bennett

​"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."
​--Viktor Frankl

"Change always comes bearing gifts."
-- Price Pritchett

"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes...and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt

"The only difference between a rut and the grave is the depth."
​-- Ellen Glasgow

"Change does not roll in on wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
