Choice Quote by Eugene Nathaniel Butler
“People say that only if we could see in the future, we would not have made certain choices. Do you see that drug addict? Do you see the homeless person that sleeps nearby? What about the friend in the violent relationship? Better still, the relative whose jobs are limited by his criminal convictions? You can see your future in the choices of others everyday if YOU would but open your eyes.”
