High self-esteem comes from feeling like you have control over events not that events have control over you.

Tony Robbins

I thought I could start over, you see. But now I know you can never start over. Not really. You think you have control, but you are like a fly in somebody else's web. Sometimes I think that's why I like accounting. All day, you are only dealing with numbers. You add them, multiply them, and if you are careful, you will always have a solution. There's a sequence there. An order. With numbers, you can have control.

Barack Obama

Many people believe that decentralization means loss of control. That's simply not true. You can improve control if you look at control as the control of events and not people. Then, the more people you have controlling events - the more people you have that care about controlling the events, the more people you have proactively working to create favorable events - the more control you have within the organization, by definition.

Wilbur L. Creech

I try to maintain an even tempo in all the games. Sometimes you play well and sometimes you get out. When you get out, you feel it is a wrong shot. Most players in tough situations play shots that could be out, but over time you refine that and give yourself the best chance of performing, the more you play in such situations.

Dinesh Karthik

The great man is not convulsible or tormentable; events pass over him without much impression.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.

The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.

Chris Pine

Power is generally defined as control over resources and control over access to resources, which often means control over other people because we're thinking about things like financial resources or shelter, or even love and affection, but we also possess resources that we sometimes can't access.

Amy Cuddy

Over events, we may have some control, but over the law of life's progress none.

John William Draper

You only get one chance to make the first impression. And I made the biggest first impression ever by throwing the Big Show over the top rope.

Cesaro

Sometimes it is my impression that most politicians are still not aware of being under the control of the financial markets and are even governed by them.

Hans Tietmeyer

Every now and again, a painting will get away from my control and take over. Sometimes it's a good thing. Sometimes it's a giant drooling hairy thing with pointy teeth. You know how it is.
