Quotations regarding 'Control'

Choose a letter: 
Control over the use of one's ideas really constitutes control over other people's lives; and it is usually used to make their lives more difficult.
Richard Stallman, Scientist (1953-  )
But if you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.
Josiah Stamp, British Businessman (1880-1941)
When money is controlled by a few it gives that few an undue power and control over labor and the resources of the country. Labor will have its best return when the laborer can control its disposal.
Leland Stanford, American Educator (1824-1893)
Many writers upon the science of political economy have declared that it is the duty of a nation first to encourage the creation of wealth; and second, to direct and control its distribution. All such theories are delusive.
Leland Stanford, American Educator (1824-1893)
It was not a friendly game, and Jerry certainly did not have friendliness in his eyes. He had an extra mean streak that day. He was out of control and probably should have been ejected.
Roger Staubach, American Athlete (1942-  )
We seem to think we have some control over this planet.
Ralph Steadman, British Cartoonist (1936-  )
You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don't enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It's not the law-abiding citizens, it's not the person who uses it as a hobby.
Michael Steele, American Politician (1958-  )
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
John Steinbeck, American Author (1902-1968)
Last Wednesday, I stupidly dropped my iPhone in the bath, and my life has sort of spiraled almost out of control.
Patrick Stewart, English Actor (1940-  )
Raymond Floyd. The man knows how to control situations. He was experienced. He didn't let me get overly excited; he kept me in check. It allowed me to free myself up, and I played really well with him.
Payne Stewart, American Athlete (1957-1999)
Invariably something happens at a U.S. Open where the golf course gets out of control one day, they have one pin that's out of control. It always seems to happen. But they've gotten better about the height of the rough.
Payne Stewart, American Athlete (1957-1999)
I've just become more conscious about how much I do drink and how often I want to have a drink and things like that. I think being conscious of it will help me to control the urges.
Payne Stewart, American Athlete (1957-1999)
I can't sprinkle sprinkles on. I lose control when I have sprinkles. I'm shaky. I still remember the great sprinkle accident of 1982.
Ryan Stiles, American Actor (1959-  )
But I think the bomb instead constitutes merely a first step in a new control by man over the forces of nature too revolutionary and dangerous to fit into old concepts.
Henry L. Stimson, American Statesman (1867-1950)
When we direct our thoughts properly, we can control our emotions.
W. Clement Stone, American Businessman (1902-2002)
I personally take cues directly from the script, then I like to surprise the other actors. But you must maintain control on a level and see how far you can go up, down or out emotionally. You have to balance the craft with spontaneity.
Lusia Strus, American Actress
If I want to be free from any other man's dictation, I must understand that I can have no other man under my control.
William Graham Sumner, American Businessman
Players come and go, good friends, players who performed well. You can't control that.
Mats Sundin, Canadian Athlete (1971-  )
I took several years of dance lessons that included ballet, tap and jazz. They helped a great deal with body control, balance, a sense of rhythm, and timing.
Lynn Swann, American Athlete (1952-  )
Girlfriend and 100 Percent Fun were my two peeks, around '92 and '96. The reality is that the times I had the most media success, sold lots of records and played bigger shows, I had the least control of my own life.
Matthew Sweet, American Musician (1964-  )
