William Shenstone, English Poet (1714-1763)
It's essential to distinguish between events that are really beyond your control and events you caused yourself.
Barbara Sher, American Businessman
But on second thought, after I decreed the state of emergency, I came to the conclusion that that was impossible to achieve without bloodshed because the street protesters were full of anger and nearly out of control. This is why I thought we needed to find another way out.
Eduard Shevardnadze, Politician (1928-  )
I hope this will help new moms not feel alone or desperate, and that there is no shame in their feelings. PPD is out of their control, but the treatment and healing process is not.

Too many people use abortion as a form of birth control. And that's very wrong. I could never, ever have an abortion.
Brooke Shields, American Actress (1965-  )

Some artists imagine they've got a hold on this apparatus, which in fact has got a hold of them. As a result, they end up supporting a cultural prison that is out of their control.
Robert Smithson, American Artist (1938-1973)
It is only by the rational use of technology; to control and guide what technology is doing; that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desirable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine.
Carrie P. Snow, -
Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life. Too many of us divide and dissipate our energies in debating actions which should be taken for granted.
Ralph W. Sockman, American Leader
When I finally made it to the set, I spent a lot of time doing damage control on The Magic Christian.
Terry Southern, American Writer (1924-1995)
It's frustrating not to have more control over your material.
Terry Southern, American Writer (1924-1995)
In that sense, film is superior, but the difficulty is your lack of control as a writer.
Terry Southern, American Writer (1924-1995)
Power is domination, control, and therefore a very selective form of truth which is a lie.
Wole Soyinka, Dramatist (1934-  )
I used to think it a pity that her mother rather than she had not thought of birth control.
Muriel Spark, English Novelist (1918-2006)
On the other hand, chess is a mass sport now and for chess organisers shorter time control is obviously more attractive. But I think that this control does not suit World Championship matches.
Boris Spassky, Russian Celebrity (1937-  )
Time control directly influences the quality of play.
Boris Spassky, Russian Celebrity (1937-  )
For example, computer defends well, but for humans its is harder to defend than attack, particularly with the modern time control.
Boris Spassky, Russian Celebrity (1937-  )
I just really wanted to do art, except when I was taking those photographs of people I would make the clothes that I would photograph them in so I could control the whole thing.
