for.David Attenborough

The decisions of law courts should never be printed: in the long run, they form acounter authority to the law.Denis Diderot
I don't imagine Heads of Government would ever be able to say I'm not aneconomist therefore I can't take decisions on matters of the economy; I'm not asoldier I can't take decisions on matters of defence; I'm not an educationist so Ican't take decisions about education.

The more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose.
Don't get yourself in certain circumstances or instances, because it's not a goodfeeling to be sitting in that chair where you've got 12 people that are in control of your life. You have an opportunity to be in control of your life for yourself by thedecisions that you make.Puff Daddy
I don't think politicians should be allowed into power who are not familiar with theirbodies, because that's where our bottom line is. And I know that they would maketotally different decisions if they felt responsible simply for their own bodies.

thing, and for the most part he made all the major decisions.Alex Lifeson
I think actors are getting so much more power these days, but I'm not. I stay verymuch away from the decisions, the way in which things are orchestrated, what'sbeen changed. I just try to stay completely in the role as the actor and as thecharacter.Nicole Kidman

trying to take this lemon and make lemonade.
Kevin Mitnick
Such decisions will be far reaching and difficult. But you never lacked courage in the
past. Your courage is now needed for the future.
Gerry Adams
In America, politicians do whatever to get re-elected, and a lot of decisions that
were being made at that time by Kennedy were certain not to get him re-elected.
Kevin Costner
I don't believe war is a way to solve problems. I think it's wrong. I don't have respect
for the people that made the decisions to go on with war. I don't have that much
respect for Bush. He's about war, I'm not about war - a lot of people aren't about
war.
Avril Lavigne
I think it's really important that the people who are going to make decisions for
other people have fair, truthful and compassionate regard for all people, not just
some people.
Sharon Stone
Only losers make decisions when things are bad. The time to rejig your life is the
time when it's seemingly smooth.
Doug Coupland
I don't have to ask anyone's permission to do anything. It's nice not have to get
decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. Sothe amount of control that I have over what I'm doing is better for me as a solo
artist.
Graham Nash
Management manages by making decisions and by seeing that those decisions are
implemented.
Harold S. Geneen
But the real secret to total gorgeousness is to believe in yourself, have self
confindence, and try to be secure in your decisions and thoughts.
Kirsten Dunst
A surprising number of government committees will make important decisions on
fundamental matters with less attention than each individual would give to buying a
Increasingly, the central question is becoming who will have access to the
information these machines must have in storage to guarantee that the right
decisions are made.
Jean-Francois Lyotard
At least I make decisions based on what I think is right, not who my friends might
be.
Dick Murphy
Freedom of expression - in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popularparticipation in the decisions and actions of government, and popular participation
is the essence of our democracy.
Corazon Aquino
When I got to 40 or so... I had the sense when I looked back over my life I would
actually see a mess of decisions, a few of which I had thought about, some of which
I had sort of stumbled on, and many that I had no control over whatsoever.

something that's challenging, something that I think I can accomplish, you know.
Terrence Howard
All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is
constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they
can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.
Noam Chomsky
Telecom is a dramatic success in India and our view is, respecting the political
process, and respecting the fact that these are sovereign decisions, is that,approaching India as a friend.
John W. Snow
In this job, you're going to make decisions. You'll say things that some people are
going to love them, some people are going to hate them. It's just part of the job.
There is a certain logic to events that pushes you along a certain path. You go along
the path that feels the most true, and most according to the principles that are
guiding you, and that's the way the decisions are made.
Michael Nesmith
Clinton took very tough decisions on the economy.
Sidney Blumenthal
As a producer, I think one of the most important decisions you make is not
necessarily the material you are working on but the production apparatus that youchoose to develop the project with, and that determines what funding you go to, it
determines many factors.
Atom Egoyan
This is not about abortion or the antics. This is about pro choice versus anti-choice
and government intervention in a woman's personal decisions about her life.
Kathleen Turner
Love is the foundation from which your decisions about your life should be made.
Darren L. Johnson
Another cause for the increase in alienation and cynicism is a feeling that too many
policy decisions that affect individuals have been taken out of any system that has
accountability or that they can influence.
Robert Teeter
All governments in all wars have used all the means at their disposal to put their
own motives, decisions and actions, and the actions of their military forces, in the
best possible light.
Bruce Jackson
Obviously, if the commander makes certain decisions that the reporter thinks is
inhibiting his right to report a legitimate story, he has to appeal to the commander's
boss to get that changed.
Bob Schieffer
Certainly, it's very easy to fall in love with cash. If you're going to make all your
decisions based on cash, you're going to have a pretty naffy career.
Mark Ruffalo
The reason to split a court is for administrative purposes, and in the past there has
been much debate about the liberal decisions of the Ninth Circuit and so forth; andpeople have wanted to get out of the Ninth Circuit for that reason.
Michael K. Simpson
Having decisions made not in midnight deals but in the light of objective evidence
and after consulting those who will be affected should itself provide some
reassurance that the EU is trying to reform itself.
Leadership requires the courage to make decisions that will benefit the next
generation.
Alan Autry
But figuring out Saddam Hussein was one our greatest mysteries. He marched to
his own drummer and frequently as this unfolded he made decisions which were
sometimes inexplicable to us and sometimes didn't look very smart.Brent Scowcroft
I was making a lot of momentous personal decisions. I was still very very young:
when the prize was awarded, I was 33; the work I had done when I was 21.
Joshua Lederberg
For too long, decisions have been taken behind closed doors - tablets of stone have
simply been past down to people without bothering to involve people, listen to their
views or give them information about what we are doing and why.
Peter Mandelson
When it comes to losing with United, I feel solely responsible for it. I can't help it. My
brain will work like mad after a defeat. I want to know where I have made the wrong
decisions, how I could have changed things for this fantastic club.
Ruud van Nistelrooy
They are amazing kids so we let them make decisions but also have discipline.
Kelly Preston
We are doing everything we can to protect the food supply. And I can tell you that
we're making decisions based upon sound science and good public policy, given the
circumstances that we are now in.
Ann Veneman
But Eddie does not make all the decisions. Eddie can listen to reason; Eddie can be
swayed or talked in or out of certain things. Eddie allows other people to lead in this
band and to have certain roles that are very fundamental to the decision-making
process.
Stone Gossard
I've already felt that I want to direct. Being an executive producer is like the best
job in the world because you make all these executive decisions and then you leavethe money to other people. You don't have to be on set and counting beans.
Robbie Coltrane
On the other track I got to talk with Jon Poll, my editor, and we go into more detail
about the decisions we made in both the production and the post-production. So I
hope the combination becomes something worth collecting.
While different people may approach opportunities in different ways, we need to
base decisions on a fundamental set of values as we chart our course of action.
Ron D. Burton
My goal was to do the best job I could in governing the state of Wisconsin, in some
cases making very tough decisions to have to bring our spending in line with the
resources we had at the state level.
Scott McCallum
I made career decisions that came from the part of me who wanted to shun the
limelight.
Ed Harris
If the national coach lets decisions be made from outside, he's lost the team.
Jurgen Klinsmann
We can do things the cheap way, the simple way, for the short-term and without
regard for the future. Or, we can make the extra effort, do the hard work, absorb
the criticism and make decisions that will cause a better future.
Mike Rounds
To say that man is a reasoning animal is a very different thing than to say that most
of man's decisions are based on his rational process. That I don't believe at all.
Rex Stout
If we do not make tough decisions now, future Americans will have to make even
tougher ones.
Virginia Foxx
If we make the tough decisions now, we will be one year ahead of 80 percent of thestates in the race to economic growth. If we fail to act, we will fall even further
behind... by going first, we can become first.
Chris Christie
In beef trade issues, we base our decisions upon science.
Mike Johanns
The point is that these decisions they've made are partly for your convenience and
partly for theirs and partly out of stereotypes that they carry with them from the
conventions of the computer field.
Ted Nelson
As an economics undergraduate, I also worked on a part-time basis in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, for a company that was advising customers about portfolio
What I thought we ought to try to do in a book like this is to focus closely on Lincoln,
himself, to see what he knew, how he knew it, how he came to make the decisions
that he did, and how he implemented them.
David Herbert Donald
Television is so dictated by time constraints that you have to make quick decisions
and go with them.
Ted Shackelford
There's no wobble in Bush. If anything, the opposite. Right after hello, the nextwords out of his mouth are: I've never been more convinced that the decisions I
made are the right decisions.
Rich Lowry
It is intellectually dishonest to look backwards with all the facts and judge the
decisions that were made with almost none of the facts, or the facts that existed
hidden in the normal cloud of endless speculation of what might happen.
Norm Coleman
It is imperative that we make consumers more aware of the long-term effects of
their financial decisions, particularly in managing their credit card debt, so that they
can avoid financial pitfalls that may lead to bankruptcy.
Daniel Akaka
After years of making wrong decisions in my life, in 1977 I found out that it was all
right to be square, simple, and sober.
Martha Reeves
I don't have a particular recommendation other than that we base decisions on as
much hard data as possible. We need to carefully look at all the options and all their
ramifications in making our decisions.Dorothy Denning
And yes, there's a simplicity to writing books because you're not a member of a
team, so you make all the decisions yourself instead of deferring to a committee.
Bernard Cornwell
Our nation must manage significant national security challenges over the next
several years. We are already facing a potential conflict with Iraq, new challenges
on the Korean peninsula, and key decisions in the president's plans to transform the
military.
Duncan Hunter
One of the responsibilities faced by the Environmental Genome Project is to provide
the science base upon which society can make better informed risk management
The politicians of New York have everything that is necessary to make proper
decisions and they will have to live with what happens afterwards. The worst
scenario is the politicians covering their eyes and turning it over to the FBI.
Tom Hayden
In the beginning, when I first found out I had a disease that was incurable,
emotionally I had to get used to the idea of being sick before I could think about
making any other major decisions in my life.
Karen Duffy
The very purpose of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is to protect minority
rights against majority voters. Every court decision that strikes down discriminatory
legislation, including past Supreme Court decisions, affirming the fundamental
rights to marry the person you love, overrules a majority decision.
David Boies
That's why I made decisions; they were tough decisions but we shouldn't feel bad at
all - don't look back with any regrets, that's how I made decisions as governor.
Scott McCallum
There are a lot of things going on with my life right now that don't just have to dowith career. So I have a hard time making decisions about work. That's really a
luxury problem.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
It was extremely hard going from being a parent of one to a parent of three,
because now all these instant decisions have to be made about how you balance
out the time and attention between them.
Patricia Richardson
Presidents with strong nerves are decisive. They don't balk at unpopular decisions.
They are willing to make people angry. Bush had strong nerves. Clinton, who passed
up a chance to eliminate Osama bin Laden, did not. Obama is a people pleaser, a
trait not normally associated with nerves of steel.
Fred Barnes
As population susceptibilities are better understood, we will be in a better position
than we are in today to make informed decisions about risk management.
Samuel Wilson
We exercise great caution in airing an audio- or videotape released by a terrorist
organization holding a hostage. These are decisions made by CNN's editorial staff and not by any third party.
Jim Walton
I worked with a group of people who argued day and night - professors, officials, the
Minister of Finance - but there were decisions that I had to make.
In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the
past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that
affect the people.
Wilma Mankiller
We must examine then the concerns of the Government of Japan about the
language of the treaty itself - of SOFA - and of the interim and further arrangements
that have been made since 1995, and see whether or not we need to make any
changes. Those are decisions I cannot make.Howard Baker
Now, I - for several years while I was researching this book, I felt quite obsessed by
thoughts about sentencing, punishment, how judges arrive at their decisions.
Helen Garner
I would guess that the decision to create a small special purpose language or use an
existing general purpose language is one of the toughest decisions that anyone
facing the need for a new language must make.
Guido van Rossum
New Zealand's taken some very significant decisions in relation to defence in the
last two years.
Jenny Shipley
The government's position was that we have frigates that have got a useful life until
2006. There is no necessity for us to make final decisions until 2002.
Jenny Shipley
Working together during the past three years, we have confounded the skeptics and
the cynics. We've shown that here in Virginia, Democrats and Republicans can cometogether, put politics aside, and make tough decisions when times demand it.
Mark Warner
I think that the episodes are like mini horror films really; the characters make bad
decisions early on and these things just snowball for them and get worse and worse.
And that's what I find funny.
Dave Rowntree
The last eight years have created a lot of deep-seated hostility. People take political
decisions very personally, and today there is a constant, ongoing attack, with one
side or the other being maligned.
Fred F. Fielding
I'm not an education expert, and frankly I don't want to make education decisions
for our state. But I am experienced at successfully managing organizations, and
Governor. They will serve as my compass as I work with you to chart a future course
for our state.
Dave Heineman
Another thing: despite my youthful appearance, I am quite capable of making
decisions.
Lara St. John
It is up to us to make the right choice and the right decisions.
Karolina Kurkova
You have to enable and empower people to make decisions independent of you. As
I've learned, each person on a team is an extension of your leadership; if they feel
empowered by you they will magnify your power to lead.
Tom Ridge
The same contingencies of time and space that force a statesman or soldier to
make decisions, impel the historian, though with less urgency, to make up his mind.
Samuel E. Morison
During the Fifties, political and military activities in Vietnam were heavily influenced
by the French, who as recent colonial masters, made all-important decisions.
Nguyen Cao Ky
The one thing about program television that's absolutely incompatible with any
concept of art is that all decisions have to be made by program directors, whereas
art is autonomous. It may be dependent, but it knows no superiors.
Alexander Kluge
Peace is not the product of a victory or a command. It has no finishing line, no finaldeadline, no fixed definition of achievement. Peace is a never-ending process, the
work of many decisions.
Oscar Hammerstein II
Money coming in says I've made the right marketing decisions.
Adam Osborne
When you get to that level, it's not a matter of talent anymore - because all the
players are so talented - it's about preparation, about playing smart and making
good decisions.
Hakeem Olajuwon
That D.C. grand jury investigation of Abramoff can't go on forever. Eventually the
lawyers at the Public Integrity Section will go to their bosses with some decisions
about just who they want to indict. That's when Al Gonzales will have to show his
