Whenever you have a proclamation of being chosen, it's always a self-defining process. It's always the people who are chosen who say they are chosen. They never say that about the other. If you're going to say, I'm chosen, it loads you with a very heavy burden.
Anne Provoost
Image
Those who would attain to any marked degree of excellence in a chosen pursuit must work, and work hard for it, prince or peasant.
Bayard Taylor
Image
Let whoever wants to, relax in the south, And bask in the garden of paradise. Here is the essence of north—and it's autumn I've chosen as this year's friend.
Anna Akhmatova
Image
We are exactly where we have chosen to be.
Vernon Howard
Image
Despite our complicated civilization, so called, or perhaps on account of it, we are all of us a mere set of barbarians, who find it less trouble to provide a new, cheap, and shoddy thing than to get the full use and full pleasure out of a finely-made and carefully-chosen old one.
Vernon Lee
Image
Well, I think certain roles are chosen for us. The moment I read Pete Campbell I thought: I can do this, this is mine. And in Money, too. The truth is I turn down a lot of projects. If a character doesn't have some kind of internal struggle, it's no good for me.
Vincent Kartheiser
Image
There will instead be a number of fake opposition figures, one of whom is now probably going to be Kseniya Sobchak, which is an absurd idea. I assume she's been chosen because just even the idea of her standing for liberals so makes fun of the idea of liberals and of liberal democracy.
Anne Applebaum
Image
We go forward with complete confidence in the eventual triumph of freedom. Not because history runs on the wheels of inevitability it is human choices that move events. Not because we consider ourselves a chosen nation God moves and chooses as He wills.
George W. Bush
Image
You have chosen the pathway to your present destination. The responsibility for your situation is yours.
Andy Andrews
Image
A libretto that should never have been accepted on a subject that should never have been chosen bya man who should never have attempted it.
Virgil Thomson
Image
It may not be what you would've chosen, but we all have a responsibility to be active citizens and shape our system and our future.
Susan Rice
Image
...even the richest personality is nothing before he has chosen himself, and on the other hand even what one might call the poorest personality is everything when he has chosen himself for the great thing is not to be this or that but to be oneself, and this everyone can be if he wills it.
Soren Kierkegaard
Image
Adoration is not some fervent spiritual or poetic exercise reserved for a chosen few. I believe the human race will die out and destroy nature if it does not learn again how to adore God, the God in all of us, God shining and living in nature, and learn again how to act from and in that spirit of adoration.
Andrew Harvey
Image
The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
I have chosen to be happy because it is goo for my health.
Voltaire
Image
If I speak with a character’s voice it is because that character’s become so much part of me that … I think I have the right then to imagine myself into the skin, into the life, into the dreams, into the experience of the particular character that I’ve chosen.
André Brink
Image
Is the artist impelled by spiritual forces, by the divine afflatus, by conscious or unconscious emulation of others? Do angles whisper in the ears of the chosen few, and create for them visions of aethereal beauty? Do landscape painters of genius walk the plains of Heaven? Or is it only vanity that urges him to paint?
Walter J. Phillips
Image
Well, then--our course is chosen--spread the sail-- Heave oft the lead, and mark the soundings well-- Look to the helm, good master--many a shoal Marks this stern coast, and rocks, where sits the Siren Who, like ambition, lures men to their ruin.
Walter Scott
Image
Any government that chooses to be an ally of terror has also chosen to be an enemy of civilization.
George W. Bush
Image
You are what you choose to be today. Not what you've chosen to be before.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Every single person who's drifted in and out of your life is a part of your divinely chosen experience. So, give thanks for all of these people, and take serious note of what they brought you.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Your circumstances do not determine what your life will be they reveal what kinds of images you have chosen up until now.
Wayne Dyer
Image
It was a tradition to represent a dancer frozen in a chosen position, like a snapshot. I broke away from this tradition by superimposing postures, blending light and motion and scrambling the planes.
Sonia Delaunay
Image
The life we want is not merely the one we have chosen and made. It is the one we must be choosing and making
