Embracing new things often requires us to embrace our fears, however trivial they may seem. You deal with fear not by pretending it doesn't exist, but by refusing to give it decision-making authority.
I have a good brain on me, but I've never really used it when it came to making decisions about love, which has been a blessing and a curse.
Conduct, which involves a decision of the ultimate fate of the agent cannot be based on illusions.
I have tried to make sure I knew the law and what the most recent changes were, and I've applied the law to the facts. I have not lost sleep over the decisions I have made.
I still agree with the invasion of Iraq. I don't agree with most of the decisions that accompanied it.
When we look at the situation in the EU, we need to honestly admit that it desperately needs to develop further, that we need to strengthen it when it comes to the bigger questions - and allow member nations to make more decisions about the smaller questions themselves.
There are always two figures in a marriage, two votes, two conflicting sets of decisions, desires and limitations.
It is said that history turns on small hinges. A human career, too, results from an accumulating series of decisions about large and small matters over a period of years. But the catch is that you can never know when a seemingly small decision may prove to be, from the vantage of later years, the big decision of your life.
The truth is I don't regret it. It was the right decision [not run for president] for my family, and the right decision for me.
The people who make policy decisions should damned well know what they are talking about before they make the decisions. There is nobody who is an expert on cloning who would be afraid after seeing Attack of the Clones.
Successful people don't make a daily decision to grow. The decision has already been made and just needs to be fed. To feed success you must. . . know your purpose in life, grow daily to reach your maximum potential, and sow seeds that benefit others. Remember, success is not a destination; it's a daily thing.
One thing I want you to understand is if I make a decision, it's my decision.
I told that girl, in the kindest, gentlest way, that I could not consent to deliver judgment upon any one's manuscript, because an individual's verdict was worthless. It might underrate a work of high merit and lose it to the world, or it might overrate a trashy production and so open the way for its infliction upon the world. I said that the great public was the only tribunal competent to sit in judgment upon a literary effort, and therefore it must be best to lay it before that tribunal in the outset, since in the end it must stand or fall by that mighty court's decision any way.
The timing of your decision is just as important as the decision you make.
Your emotions are making it difficult for you to accept hard decisions.
To succeed as a team is to hold all of the members accountable for their expertise.
We make our decisions, and then our decisions turn around and make us.
There is no perfect strategic decision. One always has to pay a price. One always has to balance conflicting objectives, conflicting opinions, and conflicting priorities. The best strategic decision is only an approximation - and a risk.
Everybody acts as if they have free will. They act as if they can make these decisions; do they know they don't? I think there's been some back-down on the idea that everything is determined.
A thug is someone who stands on his own. He lives by the decisions he makes and accepts the consequences. A thug is comfortable in his own skin. I wear mine like a glove.
