When we speak of choice, what we mean is the ability to exercise control over ourselves and our environment. In order to choose, we must first perceive that control is possible.

We have the ability to create choice by altering our interpretations of the world.

Choice is the only tool we have that enables us to go from who we are today to who we want to be tomorrow.

Balancing hopes, desires and an appreciating of the possibilities with a clear-eyed assessment of the limitations: that is the art of choosing.

We travel because we do not know. We know that we do not know the best before we start. That is why we start. But we forget that we do not know the worst either. That is why we come back.

A good government may, indeed, redress the grievances of an injured people; but a strong people can alone build up a great nation.

There is no kingdom like the forests.
