controlling

The more material we lose, the less we have. The less we have, the more we win.

The world is already yours - why try to conquer it?

A man who rightly governs self, may also govern family without the crippling cowardice, crutch of control.

If you have control over yourself, you have no desire to control others.

And I told him, I said: "One day you're going to miss the subway because it's not going to come. One of these days, it's going to break down and it's not going to come around and everyone else will just wait for the next one or will take the bus, or walk, or run to the next station: they will go on with their lives. And you're not going to be able to go on with your life! You'll be standing there, in the subway station, staring at the tube. Why? Because you think that everything has to happen perfectly and on time and when you think it's going to happen! Well guess what! That's not how things happen! And you'll be the only one who's not going to be able to go on with life, just because your subway broke down. So you know what, you've got to let go, you've got to know that things don't happen the way you think they're going to happen, but that's okay, because there's always the bus, there's always the next station...you can always take a cab.

Among other possibilities, money was invented to make it possible for a foolish man to control wise men; a weak man, strong men; a child, old men; an ignorant man, knowledgeable men; and for a dwarf to control giants.

I hope I can never trust my wife. If I trust her it means I know her. If I know her it means I understand her. If I understand her it means I can control her, and if I can control her it would make her boring and uninteresting_ Dear god I hope I can never trust my wife_

I have a tendency to want to understand everything people say and everything I hear, both at work and outside, even at a distance, even if it__ one of the innumerable languages I don__ know, even if it__ in an indistinguishable murmur or imperceptible whisper, even if it would be better that I didn__ understand and what__ said is not intended for my ears or is said precisely so I won__ understand it.

It is never easy to endure pain nor uncomfortable situation. It is seems easy to quit to avoid the pain.If you quit you will suffer later. It is far better to endure the pain now and enjoy later. Life is all about endurance.

Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.

The same goes for Edward Monkford. Yes, based on what you've told me, it seems Emma was the real narcissist, not him. But there's no doubting he's an extreme controller. What happens when a controller comes up against someone who's out of control? The combination could be explosive.

By all means be submissive in the bedroom (if you are that way inclined), but don't be submissive to life. Being life's bitch is no fun at all. Life may play up in many ways, but it's up to you to take control, take charge and show life who's really calling the shots.

To lose a problem, do not oppose, let go of any need to control, perhaps it's all an illusion we project, more like a game we play than real?

If you knew your potential to feel good, you would ask no one to be different so that you can feel good. You would free yourself of all of that cumbersome impossibility of needing to control the world, or control your mate, or control your child. You are the only one who creates your reality. For no one else can think for you, no one else can do it. It is only you, every bit of it you.

Authority is not a power, it is a responsibility.

The definition of management is literally "control," but the definition of true leadership is love.

We need to be able to control - erm, guide the masses that can't help control themselves.

A label locks me into a definition that people use to control me. A vision graces me with an idea that serves to release me.
