An individual chooses and makes himself.

Man is what he wills himself to be.

He's what he is, that's it. Maybe that makes him strong enough, being what he is.

Man is free at the instant he wants to be.

[M]an has as much liberty as he is willing to take.

He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper, but he is more excellent who can suit his temper to his circumstance.

A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy.

We are our choices.

He is able who thinks he is able.

L'homme est libre au moment qu'il veut l'être.

He was free, free for everything, free to act like an animal or like a machine.

Let him do whatever he wishes, and he will be unable to grasp on to anything to control

It's a man's business to be what he is, and to be it in style.

Man has a choice and it's a choice that makes him a man.
