Gabby Douglas Quotes

We speculate as to what is in store for us. But we not only undergo events, we in part cause them or at least influence their course. We have not only to study them but to act.

Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice.

Use wisely your power of choice.

Each day is a day of decision, and our decisions determine our destiny.

Your destiny is shaped by choice, never by chance. Beware the decisions you make, no matter how small, for they will be your salvation...or your death.

When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action.

Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

Ultimately, you choose to be happy or miserable. The reality is that although you are free to choose, you can't choose the consequences of your choices. They're preloaded. It's a package deal.

I've made a decision and now I must face the consequences.

It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny.

Choice of attention - to pay attention to this and ignore that - is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer. In both cases, a man is responsible for his choice and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be.

It is up to us to make the right choice and the right decisions.

I liked being a minor because you can't get into trouble. Now I just have to try and behave myself.

We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.

Where do consequences lead? Depends on the escort.

Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.

It's essential to distinguish between events that are really beyond your control and events you caused yourself.

In this life, we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil. The choices we make, however, determine to a large extent our happiness or our unhappiness, because we have to live with the consequences of our choices.

No genuine choice is ever simply a matter of the arbitrary exercise of will. Take your choice of lunch today. You can't decide to want anything, but what you want will at least in part be a result of a series of other choices and judgments you've made in your life to date.

You make a choice in your life, and it affects your life in all the ways, good and bad.

We all have to make choices in life.

While we cannot predict the future, we will most surely live it. Every action and decision we take - or don't - ripples into the future. For the first time, we have the capability, the technology, and the knowledge to direct those ripples.
