Even as economic and political freedoms have advanced enormously and generated huge benefits for humanity, they've also created a great deal of anxiety because every time you have to make a choice, there's anxiety about making the wrong one.

Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free.

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

The choice that frees or imprisons us is the choice of love or fear. Love liberates. Fear imprisons.

Anywhere, anytime ordinary people are given the chance to choose, the choice is the same: freedom, not tyranny; democracy, not dictatorship; the rule of law, not the rule of the secret police.

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

We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.

I didn't for a moment doubt the choice, but if life is ever fearsome, it is truly fearsome then.

Only weeks after Oslo began, when nearly all the world and most of Israel was drunk with the idea of peace, I argued that a Palestinian society not constrained by democratic norms would be a fear society that would pose a grave threat to Israel.
