David Broder Quotes

Call Berlin. Drop everything we're doing. I have a complete vision of what should be.

We are here today to make a choice between the quick and the dead.

The man of decision cannot be stopped! The man of indecision cannot be started! Take your own choice.

Almost any decision is better than no decision at all.

Decision is the ultimate power. Decisions shape destiny.

Decisions exist only in the present.

Our hands we open of our own free will, and the good flies, which we can never recall.

But here's the ugly truth: nature doesn't care about democracy, or who's right, or what's fair. And because of the slow-change aspect of climate, we can't wait until the worst effects are upon us to make a decision -- by then, it would be far, far too late. The scenario we may be faced with is one where doing something for the wrong reasons, run by the wrong people, may still save more lives than holding out for a more appealing option.

In that case, there is no time to lose. Plant it this afternoon!

Everyone is just making the choices they think will help them get by.

There is no tomorrow to remember if we don’t do something today, and to live most fully today, we must do that which is of greatest importance. Let us not procrastinate those things which matter most.

If you have not done so yet, decide to decide.

What is not possible is not to choose.

Duty is the demand of the hour.

Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.

Take massive action. So many people wait until they have all the answers.

The hardest thing on earth is choosing what matters.

What happens next is up to you.

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.

It is better to pick the wrong priority than none at all.

Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.
