I have decided to be happy because it's good for my health.

The greatness of man lies in his decision to be stronger than his condition.
The present is not a potential past; it is the moment of choice and action.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
Only by means of decisions does man enter reality.
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Never is done tomorrow what is not done today And one should let no day slip by. With resolution seize the possible straightway By forelock and with quick, courageous trust; Then holding fast you will not let it further fly And you will labour on because you must.
Action is decision, a choice, but it is also a wager.
All human acts involve more chance than decision.
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be ... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
Don't demand that things happen as you wish, but wish that they happen as they do happen, and you will go on well.
Reason wishes to give a just decision; anger wishes its decision to be thought just.
Certainly thinking is pleasant, but the pleasure of thinking must be subordinated to the art of making decisions.
How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.
