“The most important thing we ever have to learn in life is to live with our choices.”

“The fact that we live without God is, in a sense, not up to us. It's not really a choice. . . But goodness is a choice. It is the most important choice we can ever make. And we have to make it again and again, throughout our lives and in every aspect of our lives.”

“The most important thing we ever learn at school is the fact that the most important things can't be learned at school.”

“The most important story we'll ever write in life is our own—not with ink, but with our daily choices.”

“The choices we make in our life don't have to define us. It's what we learn from them that's important.”

“In this life we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil. The choices we make, however, determine to a large extent our happiness or our unhappiness, because we have to live with the consequences of our choices. Making perfect choices all of the time is not possible. It just doesn't happen. But it is possible to make good choices we can live with and grow from.”
