You have got to decide, look, this is who I am; this is my best way to present myself, and I’m going to ride that horse to the finish line. Not everybody will like it, but that’s OK.
In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not.
Whenever an individual or a business decides that success has been attained, progress stops.
I became intrigued with colour theory. The absurd pronouncements of the Colour Institute, a group that decides what colours are hot each year or season, amused me.
But you are absolutely right that when the international community decides to help in a meaningful manner a country like Afghanistan, then coordination between the various actors that are involved in these processes is very, very difficult indeed.
I would hate to see operations in the Congo held hostage to Sierra Leone but I really think that’s the way it’s got to be. At one point we’ve got to decide to get it right and we’ve got to be professional.
Buyers decide in the first eight seconds of seeing a home if they’re interested in buying it. Get out of your car, walk in their shoes and see what they see within the first eight seconds.

What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form.
But you’ve got to understand what the other guy is about, even if at the end of the process you decide that there is no ground with this man or woman except to fight them.
Wise men argue causes; fools decide them.
Once I decide to do something, I can’t have people telling me I can’t. If there’s a roadblock, you jump over it, walk around it, crawl under it.
You can’t decide whom to fall in love with. It just happens.
When I decide to do something, I do it.
Government does not have a revenue problem; government has a spending problem. Government does not have a revenue problem; government has a priority problem. It is time that we begin to fine tune our focus and decide what the priority of government ought to be.
People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.
There is an overwhelming amount of information available to us all on the web each day, not to mention what is shared with us by our family, friends, fans, and followers. This necessitates the need to filter through all that information and to decide for ourselves where to put our attention.
And then you might decide that the country can just spend maybe years or decades to regain that credit, or maybe give that county the support, the financial support that the market is not willing not do.
Democracy encourages the majority to decide things about which the majority is ignorant.
I am surprised people took so long to pick up on the fact that my contract expires at the end of this year. Eddie has to decide who he wants to drive, so there is no secret anywhere. I am not concerned. It does not sit with my objectives to be competitive.
Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.
There’s a certain libertarian right-wing view that there should be no FDA, that people can decide for themselves whether medicines are safe and effective. That’s nonsense.

The executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war.
It is up to you to decide who to believe: the same people as usual or those who endanger their lives to save the country.
We’d accept Germany either allowing all migrants in or not allowing any in. But whatever Germany decides should only apply to Germany.
People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.
We all have cultural bias, racial bias. One of the difficult things around this subject matter is to deny that we have places we go to subconsciously, and unless you consciously decide that that’s wrong and you’ve got to do something about it, especially if you’re in a position of power, it won’t change.
Pop culture shapes our ideas of what is normal and what our dreams can be and what our roles are. Politics, of course, decides how the power and the money in the country is distributed. Both are equally important, and each affects the other.
Political reporters no longer get to decide what’s news. The days when a minister gave briefings to a dozen lobby correspondents, and thereby dictated the next day’s headlines, are over. Now, a thousand bloggers decide for themselves what is interesting. If enough of them are tickled then, bingo, you’re news.
I’m in favour of more democracy – let the British public decide what the future of the monarchy is and what shape it should be.
When you decide to follow a certain path, you should follow it to the end and not be diverted from it for personal reasons.
Nothing is more private than a woman’s body; it is her physical, emotional, and moral citadel. She cannot be free at all if she is not free to decide for herself, in private, what to do with her body.
I think there’s a karmic purpose that souls make before they decide to come into people’s bodies and become someone’s parent, or become someone’s child. Maybe my dad disappearing was his way of giving me material with which to work, or a predisposition to feel heightened emotions.
Most men, I am convinced, have an unmistakable feeling at the final moment of significant choice that they are making a free decision, that they can really decide which one of two or more roads to follow.
A robot-arm in a factory doesn’t decide minute by minute whether to rivet or revolt – it just does the job is has literally been trained to do. It’s if and when we build a conscious robot that we may have to worry.
I first met Mr Tarkunde in 1976 during the Emergency, when Civil Liberties had been extinguished and the Habeas Corpus case was being heard by the Supreme Court, which would decide whether one could even approach the courts against illegal detention by the State, during the Emergency.
She goes through the vale of death alone, each time a babe is born. As it is the right neither of man nor the state to coerce her into this ordeal, so it is her right to decide whether she will endure it.
It is up to you to decide that this has lasted long enough, that our boys are dying to serve no British interest but for the interests of a small clique of utterly unscrupulous men.
The thing is when you’re… well-enough known, you get asked to speak places, and they don’t really think about whether or not you’re qualified. They just want somebody that will be a drawing card for the audience. So it’s up to you to decide whether or not it’s foolish to get up and speak to these people.
If a woman decides she likes me, it would behoove her to take into consideration that my art has had a strong influence on the type of person I am.
Some people say that they read the first 20 pages, and then decide if they want to do the film or not. But, I have to read the entire thing ’cause anything can change in a script.
I’d like the reader to decide if he is willing to pay minute sums for content. I’d like the economics of web to be controlled between authors and readers, not advertiser.
Voters don’t decide issues, they decide who will decide issues.
I want to know where is that committee in Switzerland that sits to decide what is in and what is out. I don’t listen to the formula makers. I think maybe I have a selective hearing disorder.
Ultimately, we have to decide, with the Legislature: Are we willing to take some bold steps to make us even more competitive in the future, competing in a global economy? I think Nebraskans are willing to listen to that discussion. They want an opportunity for their kids and grandkids to live here.
As far as the Jets go, I’m competing to play. It will be a heated competition between Kellen and me, and I’m excited about that; I will do it in a respectful way. I have the utmost respect for him because he’s a great player. Whatever’s best for team will be best for the team and the coaches will decide.
Until we can fully grasp the extent of corruption and fraud involved in the administration of the Oil-for-Food program, and until the United Nations decides to cooperate in the investigation, no American taxpayer dollars should go to the United Nations.
Yes, but I have to say this: the band is going to decide where the band plays.
But it’s for every writer to decide his own pace, and the pace varies with the writer and the work.
If I read something great and I want to go after it, I go after it. You don’t wait to see what Hollywood wants to do with you. You decide what you want to do. I don’t mind fighting when I really want something.
One of the most important branches of the Egyptian economy is tourism. No bikinis, no tourism. So they have to decide what to do.
The whole idea of a nuclear system is to have a deterrent where we decide if we’re going to use it.
It takes courage to sit on a jury. How many of us want to decide the fate of another person’s life or freedom? How many of us want to hold that kind of power in our hands?
