I had a chance to go on the Supreme Court of the United States, and my whole family was more disappointed in my deciding not to do that than in my deciding not to run for president - much more.

Mario Cuomo

Deciding under uncertainty is bad enough, but deciding under an illusion of certainty is catastrophic.

Kenneth E. Boulding

Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.

Steve Jobs

My faith is central to who I am as a human being, not just as an actor - so it informs every decision I make, whether it's deciding on a project or deciding on how to treat the guy who cuts me off in traffic.

Neal McDonough

The toughest thing in hitting shouldn't be deciding when to swing. It is, for me, deciding when not to swing. You should be swinging from the time you get into the batter's box until something says don't swing.

Chili Davis

If a book has a predictable storyline or familiar situations, there's little satisfaction for me in writing it. A woman deciding which man she'll spend her life with? I've read that story a million times, but a stepmother deciding which of her children she'll save in a freak accident? Now that's a challenge.

Jillian Medoff

Deciding to commit yourself to long term results rather than short term fixes is as important as any decision you'll make in your lifetime.

Tony Robbins

Deciding whether or not to trust a person is like deciding whether or not to climb a tree, because you might get a wonderful view from the highest branch, or you might simply get covered in sap, and for this reason many people choose to spend their time alone and indoors, where it is harder to get a splinter.

Daniel Handler

Either in or out of time, the decision of a personal agency to commit an action happens antecedent to the action itself. Even if the deciding and the acting happened simultaneously, it would still not be true that the acting was antecedent to the deciding. Imagine God saying, "Oh, look! I just created a universe. Now I'd better decide to do it.
