“People who achieve great things are people who make choices. Far too many people today let life dictate their future instead of the other way around. Choices are hard - that's why so few actually make them. But as the saying goes - not to make a choice is to make a choice. When it comes to choices, The question is - what choices will you make today? The world doesn't care about your problems, or what's holding you back. They don't care about your past failures, or any other obstacles you face. Stop making excuses and start making choices.”

“People who actively work to be open and objective are impressive. They are also easy to spot. They surprise people with their positions on different issues. They don't hop on bandwagons without compelling evidence. And they possess the courage to challenge assumptions and swim against the current.”

“People who always feel jolly, no matter where they are or what happens to them—who have the organ of hope preposterously developed—who are endowed with an uncongealable sanguine temperament—who never feel concerned about the price of corn—and who cannot, by any possibility, discover any but the bright side of a picture—are very apt to go to extremes, and exaggerate with 40-horse microscopic power.”

“People who are adults know what they are doing. People are fully aware of their actions. They might offer explanations, excuses, or reasoning, and they can justify their behavior in any way they choose. They may be able to deceive others, but they know exactly what they are doing. May they face the consequences of their actions. Whatever they do to others, may it be done unto them as well.”

“People who are afraid to become gods say “it's impossible”

“People who are atheists, they hate God, they hate the expression of God, and they are angry with the world, angry with themselves, angry with society and they take it out on innocent people who are worshipping God. And whether it's a Sikh temple, or a Baptist church, or a Catholic church, or a Muslim mosque - whatever it is - I just abhor this kind of violence, and it's the kind of thing that we should do something about.”

“People who are brutally honest get more satisfaction out of the brutality than out of the honesty.”

“People who are burdened by acute misgivings about their coping capabilities suffer much distress and expend much effort in defensive action... they cannot get themselves to do things they find subjectively threatening even though they are objectively safe. They may even shun easily manageable activities because they see them as leading to more threatening events over which they will be unable to exercise adequate control.”
