Quotations regarding 'Control'

Choose a letter: 
When I'm on stage, it's a little world I've created where I'm sort of the thing, so I have total control over everything that happens. When we're improvising, I'm with someone I totally trust. I know things are going to work out. I don't have those guarantees in life. There are no consequences on stage.
Colin Mochrie, Scottish Actor (1957-  )
Grammar, which knows how to control even kings.
Moliere, French Playwright (1622-1673)
Question: Why are we Masters of our Fate, the captains of our souls? Because we have the power to control our thoughts, our attitudes. That is why many people live in the withering negative world. That is why many people live in the Positive Faith world.
Alfred A. Montapert, American Author
There is, therefore, no solution possible other than an economy directed by the workers through their organisations of control-through the workers' syndicates.
Frederica Montseny, -
The financial history of the Baltimore and Ohio since the close of the nineteenth century is interesting chiefly in connection with changes in the control of the property.
John Moody, American Businessman
When prose gets too stylized and out of control - and Stein is sometimes a good example - when you don't know what the hell is going on, then it's kind of boring.
Rick Moody, American Novelist (1961-  )
Let's say there are 500 sons and daughters like you in each state. Then we could control the government.
Sun Myung Moon, Korean Clergyman (1920-  )
The Roman Catholic church... carries the immense power of very directly affecting women's lives everywhere by its stand against birth control and abortion.
Robin Morgan, American Activist (1941-  )
Is anarchism desirable? Well, who does not seek freedom? What man, unless willing to declare himself in bondage, would care to call any control agreeable? Think about it!
Johann Most, German Revolutionary (1846-1906)
The only thing that we cannot control is our supporters.
Jose Mourinho, Portuguese Coach (1963-  )
The only thing I would like is to have more control of the game in terms of possession.
Jose Mourinho, Portuguese Coach (1963-  )
The press gave me a voice too quickly, and that could have unsettled a man who had every right to feel he should be in control of the thing he had created.
Alison Moyet, British Musician (1961-  )
There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.
John Muir, American Environmentalist (1838-1914)
So that was Reagan's political problem. As a rancher in California, he was an environmentalist himself. But the President of the United States doesn't control everything that happens in Washington.
Brian Mulroney, Canadian Statesman (1939-  )
To me the biggest breakthrough was when we did Terminator 2 that just opened the door for Jurassic and all of the others and that was as big as when we did motion control on Star Wars. But I don't see another big thing coming.
Dennis Muren, American Artist (1946-  )
If the Republicans get control back of the United States Senate, we will no longer have a check and balance on the White House, on the Republican Congress.
Patty Murray, American Politician (1950-  )
The FDA is redefining birth control as abortion. The FDA is setting the bar higher for this kind of drug.
Patty Murray, American Politician (1950-  )
Just as men must give up economic control when their wives share the responsibility for the family's financial well-being, women must give up exclusive parental control when their husbands assume more responsibility for child care.
Augustus Y. Napier, -
I don't have to ask anyone's permission to do anything. It's nice not have to get decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. So the amount of control that I have over what I'm doing is better for me as a solo artist.
Graham Nash, British Musician (1942-  )
The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.
Ogden Nash, American Poet (1902-1971)
