Control – Im selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, Im out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you cant handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell dont deserve me at my best. ~ Marilyn Monroe The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process, is its own reward. ~ Amelia Earhart In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, dont try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present. ~ Lao Tzu I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following. ~ Mahatma Gandhi Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him. ~ Groucho Marx The human being is a self-propelled automaton entirely under the control of external influences. Willful and predetermined though they appear, his actions are governed not from within, but from without. He is like a float tossed about by the waves of a turbulent sea. ~ Nikola Tesla The most erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else. ~ H. L. Mencken We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy. ~ Henry Miller If everything seems under control, youre just not going fast enough. ~ Mario Andretti Control and surrender have to be kept in balance. Thats what surfers do - take control of the situation, then be carried, then take control. In the last few thousand years, weve become incredibly adept technically. Weve treasured the controlling part of ourselves and neglected the surrendering part. ~ Brian Eno Risk is trying to control something you are powerless over. ~ Eric Clapton Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles. ~ Pat Paulsen So the pie isnt perfect? Cut it into wedges. Stay in control, and never panic. ~ Martha Stewart Im from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because theres no one in control. ~ Willie Nelson Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat. ~ Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man My life didnt please me, so I created my life. ~ Coco Chanel
