Men and women

Men and women have the choice as to what they will do with this power within them. Shall they exhaust it in the various self-indulgences, both mental and physical, or shall they use it to become creative in the realms of the spirit and higher mind – a force for good? It is this tremendous choice which every human being has to face.

~Vera Stanley Alder

It appears

It appears that mind, as manifested by the capacity to make choices, is to some extent inherent in every atom….I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.

~ Freeman Dyson

Man has

Man has the privilege and possesses the possibilities of choosing the good.

~Zolar

We can choose

We can choose to use our lives for others to bring about a better and more just world for our children.

~Cesar Chavez

Perception

Perception rests on choosing.

~A Course in Miracles

The ancients did not doubt

The ancients did not doubt that men could choose and, through choice, exercise some control over the disposition of their lives. Tacitus, for example…claims that ‘the wisest of the ancients leave us the capacity of choosing our life'.

~Mortimer J. Adler

One's character

One’s character is a matter of self-determination. It is a matter of the form that the person gives to his or her attributes of both nature and nurture.

~Thomas P. Rausch

Every situation

Every situation represents a choice: do we prefer to stay with ego-based patterns of thought and behavior, or do we choose to play life in a higher, more loving way? Will we tread the path of limitation and fear, though that path has grown painful and boring and old, or do we choose to give birth to a higher mode of expression.

~Marianne Williamson

The world

The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved.

~Chronicles 16:30
