Quotes about Decision


Don't let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.

Colin Powell

I'm just glad it'll be Clark Gable who's falling on his face and not Gary Cooper.—Gary Cooper, on his decision to not take the leading role in Gone With The Wind.

Gary Cooper

I must end it. There's no hope left. I'll be at peace. No one had anything to do with this. My decision totally.

Freddie Prinze

Today is a... digital incarnation of Oz - the Internet - we are a motley group of fools from lions to scarecrows, learning from each other, making and taking responsibility for our decisions, and having fun as we skip down the yellow brick road of investing together!

Lydia Vorsteveld

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. It is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. It is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. Ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. Science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.

Ludwig Von Mises

Get me inside any boardroom and I'll get any decision I want.

Alan Bond

It is surprising, in the welter of questions that one gets at (AGMs), how few actually relate to the performance of the company, or the decisions taken by the board in particular areas.

John Harvey-jones

At early dawn when the air is crisp And you're standing knee deep in a beautiful rip You see a trout rise to an unknown fly Then your heart starts to thump and you wonder why You're a neophyte fly fisherman. You can measure the cast and study the lie Then lengthen the line to make your first try As you check the rod to get a good presentation You hold your breath in solemn anticipation You must be a fly fisherman! The fly floats gently on its way to the trout You know it will "take it" without a doubt. You're all charged up and ready to strike But the fly floats by because something's not right You are still a fly fisherman. You open your fly box and select a new fly Then lengthen the tippet before the next try Change your position to help with the cast And hope you have made the right decision at last Now you are a doubtful fly fisherman.

George W. Harvey

You wait a moment to settle your nerves Then make your cast with a right hand curve The fly settles down and the float looked good But the trout refused it and there you stood A dejected fly fisherman. You looked things over and were not yet beat Then changed flies again and were ready to repeat The next try was poor because you rushed the cast You hold your breath in solemn anticipation You must be a fly fisherman! The fly floats gently on its way to the trout You know it will "take it" without a doubt. You're all charged up and ready to strike But the fly floats by because something's not right You are still a fly fisherman. You open your fly box and select a new fly Then lengthen the tippet before the next try Change your position to help with the cast And hope you have made the right decision at last Now you are a doubtful fly fisherman.

George W. Harvey

Your decision will cause him to be one way or another in a box.. either a cement one or a pine one (a jail or a coffin). Jonathan Shapiro, Muhammad's attorney to jury Some websites say that Muhammad was at Ft Lewis, a Muslim like other Muslims recruited by the US military for a black ops camp in Alabama.

Jonathan Shapiro

Give people enough guidance to make the decisions you want them to make. Don't tell them what to do, but encourage them to do what is best.

Jimmy Johnson

It's easy to make good decisions when there are no bad options.

Robert Half

Indecision is like a stepchild: if he does not wash his hands, he is called dirty, if he does, he is wasting water.

African Proverb

Then indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Indecision and delays are the parents of failure.

George Canning

The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.

James Maimonides

Indecision is debilitating; it feeds upon itself; it is, one might almost say, habit-forming. Not only that, but it is contagious; it transmits itself to others.

H. A. Hopf

Indecision is fatal. It is better to make a wrong decision than build up a habit of indecision. If you're wallowing in indecision, you certainty can't act - and action is the basis of success.

Marie Beynon Ray

There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.

William James

It's in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

Anthony Robbins

A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.

Anthony Robbins

Give your decisions, never your reasons; your decisions may be right, your reasons are sure to be wrong.

Sir James Mansfield

When better business decisions are made, economists won't make them.

H. V. Prochnow

Man shapes himself through decision that shape his environment.

Rene Dubos

Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.

Basil Hume
