Control

As the Sandwich Islander believes that the strength and valor of the enemy he kills passes into himself, so we gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
- Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Control Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Control

1.
Nature has placed mankind under the government of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure... they govern us in all we do, in all we say, in all we think: every effort we can make to throw off our subjection, will serve but to demonstrate and confirm it.
Bentham, John

2.
You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.
Proverb, Chinese

3.
You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.
Dyer, Wayne

4.
Are you a SNIOP? Someone who is Sensitive to the Negative Influence Of Others?
Ziglar, Zig

5.
No man is fit to command another that cannot command himself.
Penn, William

6.
No one can drive us crazy unless we give them the keys.
Horton, Doug

7.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Buddha

8.
No one can make you jealous, angry, vengeful, or greedy -- unless you let him.
Hill, Napoleon

9.
The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.
Robbins, Anthony

10.
Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.
Eastwood, Clint

11.
The one thing over which you have absolute control is your own thoughts. It is this that puts you in a position to control your own destiny.
Thomas, Paul G.

12.
The word is control. That's my ultimate -- to have control.
Faldo, Nick

13.
Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.
Yogananda, Paramahansa

14.
It's all happening too fast. I've got to put the brakes on or I'll smack into something.
Gibson, Mel

15.
If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

16.
Never let the other fellow set the agenda.
Baker, James

17.
I am not a glutton -- I am an explorer of food.
Bombeck, Erma

18.
Your real self -- the I am I -- is master of this land, the ruler of this empire. You rightfully have power and dominion over it, all its inhabitants, and all contained in its realm.
Collier, Robert

19.
While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.
Franklin, Benjamin

20.
If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.
Hill, Napoleon

21.
No temptation can gravitate to a man unless there is that is his heart which is capable of responding to it
Allen, James

22.
Let nothing come between you and the light.
Thoreau, Henry David

23.
Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.
Robbins, Anthony

24.
Every man wishes to rule the world. Unfortunately, the world rules every man.
Johnson, Jeremy P.

25.
We fail to see that we can control our own destiny; make ourselves do whatever is possible; make ourselves become whatever we long to be.
Marden, Orison Swett

26.
The best way to navigate through life is to give up all of our controls.
Jampolsky, Gerald G.

27.
The control of the palate is a valuable aid for the control of the mind.
Gandhi, Mahatma

28.
I cannot make the universe obey me. I cannot make other people conform to my own whims and fancies. I cannot make even my own body obey me.
Merton, Thomas

29.
Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.
Mandino, Og

30.
You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.
Tracy, Brian

31.
What man's mind can create, man's character can control.
Edison, Thomas A.

32.
We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails.

33.
It's essential to distinguish between events that are really beyond your control and events you caused yourself.
Sher, Barbara

34.
The physical world, including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We create our bodies as we create the experience of our world.
Chopra, Deepak

35.
You brain shall be your servant instead of your master, You will rule it instead of allowing it to rule you.
Popplestone, Charles E.

36.
Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes crimes out of things that are not crimes.
Lincoln, Abraham

37.
He is great enough that is his own master.
Hall, Joseph

38.
The bird of paradise alights only on the hand that does not grasp.
Berry, John

39.
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
Gandhi, Mahatma

40.
Nothing external to you has any power over you.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

41.
The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.
Crisp, Quentin

42.
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
Lincoln, Abraham

43.
It is far more important that one's life should be perceived than it should be transformed; for no sooner has it been perceived, than it transforms itself of its own accord.

44.
Don't let other people tell you what you want.
Riley, Pat

45.
What I do say is that no man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent.
Lincoln, Abraham

46.
If you don't program yourself, life will program you!
Brown, Les

47.
Are we controlled by our thoughts, or are we controlling our thoughts?
Holliwell, Raymond

48.
The strong man is the one who is able to intercept at will the communication between the senses and the mind.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

49.
Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me.
Whitman, Walt

50.
There is no finer sensations in life that which comes with victory over one's self. Go forward to a goal of inward achievement, brushing aside all your old internal enemies as you advance.
Young, Vash
