Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy happiness negativity pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

The cost of freedom is always high but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose and that is the path of surrender or submission.

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.

In America through pressure of conformity there is freedom of choice but nothing to choose from.

Music is my No. 1 passion. If you made me choose between music and food it's definitely music.

When I pair food and wine I start with the food. If I have a beautiful roasted bird I might choose a Cabernet or Pinot Noir or maybe a Syrah depending on the sauce and what is in my cellar.

I have no doubt that given a real choice the vast majority of Muslims and Arabs like everyone else will choose a free society over a fear society.

Eighty percent of all choices are based on fear. Most people don't choose what they want they choose what they think is safe.

No one should have to choose between medicine and other necessities. No one should have to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis.

I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.
