A Quote by Claude Shannon

We know the past but cannot control it. We control the future but cannot know it. — © Claude Shannon
We know the past but cannot control it. We control the future but cannot know it.
You cannot control the market, you cannot control the players, you cannot control the clubs. You can try - but we have done our best.
We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. We cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. We cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. We cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. Too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. Too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.
Although most of us realize what we control and do not control, we live as though we do not really know, and in some cases we spend years focusing on things we cannot control.
There is a lot that happens around the world we cannot control. We cannot stop earthquakes, we cannot prevent droughts, and we cannot prevent all conflict, but when we know where the hungry, the homeless and the sick exist, then we can help.
If JESUS cannot control you, HE cannot save you. And if HE cannot control ALL of you HE cannot control any of you.
I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself.
I think the issue of women's choice is essential for a woman being able to have their lives - if they cannot control their own bodies by choosing if or when to have a child, then they cannot control their working life or anything around them.
I believe that an author who cannot control her characters is, like a mother who cannot control her children, not really fit to look after them.
Without emotional control you cannot play, influence; you cannot react. You have to know what you have to do and not react. You have to be cool.
I have learned to accept that, in the present moment at least, things are exactly as they are meant to be, and although I cannot control the future any more than I could control the wind and the weather, I can manage it and influence it in a positive way.
You need to know that you cannot control your feelings, and you cannot control your feelings about your feelings, but, as best as you can, intellectually understand that your feelings are valid and they're okay and don't try to stifle them or feel shame about them.
Quality control which cannot show results is not quality control. Let us engage in QC which makes so much money for the company that we do not know what to do with it.
I think I just have to control what I can control. I can control myself. I can't control anything else but what I do. I definitely know I can do a better job at that.
I cannot control what you bring into the theater when you see the film. I can't control what my parents bring in. I can't control what some random person on Twitter brings in to the theater. All I can control is the hour and 50 minutes that the movie lasts, and try to give it absolutely everything I can.
Critical acumen is exerted in vain to uncover the past; the past cannot be presented; we cannot know what we are not. But one veilhangs over past, present, and future, and it is the province of the historian to find out, not what was, but what is. Where a battle has been fought, you will find nothing but the bones of men and beasts; where a battle is being fought, there are hearts beating.
In football, you only work for the things you can control. You cannot control the outside world: you can only control your preparation; you can only control your performances.
