Everything you do has some effect, some impact.

Every person's every action has an effect.

As the cause is, so the effect will be.

Every choice you make has an end result.

Nothing we do can change the past, but everything we do changes the future.

He who picks up one end of a stick picks up the other. He who chooses the beginning of a road chooses the place it leads to. It is the means that determine the end.

We're not the cause, we're the effect.

I believe that everything we think and feel and do produces a result and that we have to deal with that result - that result is then something that produces another result, so on and so forth, so yes, I do believe in causality.

Nothing happens in a vacuum in life: every action has a series of consequences, and sometimes it takes a long time to fully understand the consequences of our actions.

A man's character is his fate.

I wouldn't change a single thing, because one change alters every moment that follows it.

Sow an act and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

Every cause produces more than one effect.

The cause ceasing, the effect ceases also.
