Human freedom involves our capacity to pause between the stimulus and response and, in that pause, to choose the one response toward which we wish to throw our weight. The capacity to create ourselves, based upon this freedom, is inseparable from consciousness or self-awareness. (p. 100)

Rollo May

Patience lives in the gap between our experience of an event and our response to that experience.

Allan Lokos

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Viktor E. Frankl

Conditioning can be not a big heavy thing. (For instance:) I've got a brand new pair of shoes, by mistake you step on it and you make them muddy and dirty, I'm conditioned to go "Hey, what are you doing?" That's my conditioning, I have a response. So, maybe we have to learn to find the pause before we react, because reaction is our conditioning.

Joseph Fiennes

Between stimulus and response, there is a space where we choose our response.

Stephen Covey

I find that our response to homelessness really puzzlingly. It's a peculiar response that people have.

Paul Bettany

Many people do not distinguish between something that happens to them and their reaction to it. Yet it isn't the event or situation that holds the emotional charge; it's our beliefs that create our response.

Chip Conley

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.

Madeleine L'Engle

Real freedom is the ability to pause between stimulus and response, and in that pause, choose.

Rollo May

Human freedom involves our capacity to pause, to choose the one response toward which we wish to throw our weight.

Rollo May

Our response to an event is more important than the event itself.

Angeles Arrien

When we're talking about the "American response" to any disaster, it's not just a government response, an official response, it's a popular response.

Richard Norton Smith

Rather than allowing our response to an even affect our breathing, we can learn instead to let our breathing change our relationship to the event.

Cyndi Lee

So you will see us continue to advance the state of the art or take information that we have in our response data bases and have that drive automation or an automated response by some of our products.

John W. Thompson

The event is not what you should be working on. You should be working on your response or reaction to an event. You either react to it - that means you become victimized, and you say this thing is happening to you - or you respond to it and say the solution must come through you - that's where you stay focused, not on the rightness, wrongness, fairness of the event, but on the appropriateness of your response.

Iyanla Vanzant

Money is a response. We use it to express our social values, our gratitude, our appreciation, our pleasure, our support. Money gives us the ability to respond (response-ability), and its empowering use often defines the truly responsible among us.
