The refusal to choose is a form of choice; disbelief is a form of belief.

Decisiveness is often the art of timely cruelty.

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

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

We are given one life, and the decision is our whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.

Most of our executives make very sound decisions. The trouble is many of them have turned out not to have been right.

Shelving hard decisions is the least ethical course.

Some people, however long their experience or strong their intellect, are temperamentally incapable of reaching firm decisions.

Every decision is liberating, even if it leads to disaster. Otherwise, why do so many people walk upright and with open eyes into their misfortune?

Indecision and delays are the parents of failure.

They are decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.

Everything starts with yourself -- with you making up your mind about what you're going to do with your life. I tell kids that it's a cruel world, and that the world will bend them either left or right, and it's up to them to decide which way to bend.

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.

Business leaders often get credit for the successful decisions that were forced on them.

I hate to see things done by halves. If it be right, do it boldly, if it be wrong leave it undone.

Make decisions from the heart and use your head to make it work out.

When possible make the decisions now, even if action is in the future. A reviewed decision usually is better than one reached at the last moment.

A decision without the pressure of consequence is hardly a decision at all.

I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose.

Decide promptly, but never give any reasons. Your decisions may be right, but your reasons are sure to be wrong.

All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last.

No answer is also an answer.

Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision.

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Do not choose to be wrong for the sake of being different.

The roads we take are more important than the goals we announce. Decisions determine destiny.

Making a decision to have a child -- it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

People don't want to know that as a woman, I made my own decision as a woman to leave, It has to be I was so burnt out or in love. [On her decision to quit E.R.]

That should be considered long which can be decided but once.

Whenever I make a bum decision, I go out and make another one.

If you're already in a hole, it's no use to continue digging.

We have a choice: to plow new ground or let the weeds grow.
