“You cannot control the results, only your actions.”

“A dream becomes a reality as a result of your actions, and your actions are controlled, to a large extent, by your habits.”

“You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.”

“The ripple effect. You throw a pebble into the water and it creates ripples. Your action was to throw the pebble—the representation of your choice. That’s all that you can control. But not the ripples—those are the consequences of your choice. And that you cannot control.”

“You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.”

“What is politics, after all, but the compulsion to preside over property and make others people's decisions for them? Liberty, the very opposite of ownership and control, cannot, then, result from political action, either at the polls or at the barricades, but rather evolves out of attitude. If it results from anything, it must be levity.”
