We were able to get after the rebounds. We were able to control the paint. We were able to be physical down there.

Bill Laimbeer

What if you let go of every bit of control and every urge that you have, right down to the most infinitesimal urge to control anything, anywhere, including anything that may be happening with you at this moment? If you were able to give up control absolutely, totally, and completely, then you would be a spiritually free being.

Adyashanti

While bringing up my kids I had to strike a balance between being strict and being able to maintain my cool.

Arvind Swami

The city breathing, burning, living the life thy had preserved. Ten million lives and more. If something should happen to all that life - how terrible! Nita gulped for control as she remembered Fred's word of just this morning, an eternity ago. And this was what being a wizard was about. Keeping terrible things from happening, even when it hurts. Not just power, or control of what ordinary people couldn't control, or delight in being able to make strange things happen. Those were the side effects - not the reason, the purpose.

Diane Duane

My parents were strict with school, strict with grades. I had piano classes, horseback riding, dance.

Julia Restoin Roitfeld

We really must keep under control, and pretty strict control, the area within which 'The Man in Whitehall' knows best.

Hugh Gaitskell

I was not the pampered baby, no. I'm five years younger, and my parents were actually very strict with me, more strict than with the other ones.

Tate Donovan

Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are, in principle, under autocratic control. Thus, a corporation or an industry is, if we were to think of it in political terms, fascist, that is, it has tight control at the top and strict obedience has to be established at every level. [...] Just as I'm opposed to political fascism, I am opposed to economic fascism. I think that until the major institutions of society are under the popular control of participants and communities, it's pointless to talk about democracy.

Noam Chomsky

After one has been in prison, it is the small things that one appreciates: being able to take a walk whenever one wants, going into a shop and buying a newspaper, speaking or choosing to remain silent. The simple act of being able to control one's person.

Nelson Mandela

My parents, they were just really strict on things being perfect.

Kenny Stills

Being a teenager, I would think they were real strict, and I would get upset, but I'm glad they were like that. They didn't let us do whatever we wanted. We weren't allowed to date until we were, like, juniors in high school.

Denise Richards

Being able to take control of my life again, take control of what I'm eating and my fitness is enlightening and empowering.

EJ Johnson

Let Americans disdain to be the instruments of European greatness! Let the thirteen States, bound together in a strict and indissoluble Union, concur in erecting one great American system, superior to the control of all transatlantic force or influence, and able to dictate the terms of the connection between the old and the new world!

Alexander Hamilton

A lot of people do impulsive things. They just go with their moves. I used to do that. Once I was able to control my mind, I was able to control my actions.
