My choices matter — and there are paths towards making wiser ones — but I cannot choose what I choose. And if it ever appears that I do — for instance, after going back between two options — I do not <i>choose</i> to choose what I choose. There is a regress here that always ends in darkness.

You can’t always choose what happens to you, but you can always choose how you feel about it

You always have a choice. It's just that some people make the wrong one.

When you have to make a choice and don't make it, that is in itself a choice.

Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.

I have no choice of living or dying, you see, sir, but I do have a choice of how I do it.

We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.

How is there freedom to choose if one does not learn how to choose?

There is a choice you have to make in everything you do. So keep in mind that in the end, the choice you make, makes you.

You can do what you decide to do — but you cannot decide what you will decide to do.

Be sure you choose what you believe and know why you believe it, because if you don't choose your beliefs, you may be certain that some belief, and probably not a very credible one, will choose you.

No matter your position, circumstances, or opportunities in life, you always have the freedom of mind to choose how you experience, interpret, and, ultimately, shape your world.

You don't choose to choose what you choose in life!

"There is always a choice."
"You mean I could choose certain death?"
"A choice nevertheless, or perhaps an alternative. You see I believe in freedom. Not many people do, although they will of course protest otherwise. And no practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the others are based."
