Among other possibilities, money was invented to make it possible for a foolish man to control wise men; a weak man, strong men; a child, old men; an ignorant man, knowledgeable men; and for a dwarf to control giants.Mokokoma Mokhonoana

And I told him, I said: "One day you're going to miss the subway because it's not going to come. One of these days, it's going to break down and it's not going to come around and everyone else will just wait for the next one or will take the bus, or walk, or run to the next station: they will go on with their lives. And you're not going to be able to go on with your life! You'll be standing there, in the subway station, staring at the tube. Why? Because you think that everything has to happen perfectly and on time and when you think it's going to happen! Well guess what! That's not how things happen! And you'll be the only one who's not going to be able to go on with life, just because your subway broke down. So you know what, you've got to let go, you've got to know that things don't happen the way you think they're going to happen, but that's okay, because there's always the bus, there's always the next station..you can always take a cab.C. Joybell C.

If the surprise outcome of the recent UK referendum - on whether to leave or remain in the European Union - teaches us anything, it is that supposedly worthy displays of democracy in action can actually do more harm than good. Witness a nation now more divided; an intergenerational schism in the making; both a governing and opposition party torn to shreds from the inside; infinitely more complex issues raised than satisfactory solutions provided. It begs the question 'Was it really all worth it' ? .Alex Morritt

It’s not about describing someone as that’s typically an attempt to make whatever they are comfortable for whoever we are. Instead, we may wish to skip the agenda of the description and embrace the wonder of the person.Craig D. Lounsbrough

If someone yells at me, they are not expressing love. They may be threatening me. They may be expressing great frustration with me. They may simply be trying to control my behavior. However, they are not communicating love.Cathy Burnham Martin

A label locks me into a definition that people use to control me. A vision graces me with an idea that serves to release me.Craig D. Lounsbrough

If you knew your potential to feel good, you would ask no one to be different so that you can feel good. You would free yourself of all of that cumbersome impossibility of needing to control the world, or control your mate, or control your child. You are the only one who creates your reality. For no one else can think for you, no one else can do it. It is only you, every bit of it you.Esther Hicks

To lose a problem, do not oppose, let go of any need to control, perhaps it's all an illusion we project, more like a game we play than real?Jay Woodman
12
By all means be submissive in the bedroom (if you are that way inclined), but don't be submissive to life. Being life's bitch is no fun at all. Life may play up in many ways, but it's up to you to take control, take charge and show life who's really calling the shots.Miya Yamanouchi

The same goes for Edward Monkford. Yes, based on what you've told me, it seems Emma was the real narcissist, not him. But there's no doubting he's an extreme controller. What happens when a controller comes up against someone who's out of control? The combination could be explosive.J.P. Delaney
14
Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.Kahlil Gibran
15
It is never easy to endure pain nor uncomfortable situation. It is seems easy to quit to avoid the pain. If you quit you will suffer later. It is far better to endure the pain now and enjoy later. Life is all about endurance.Lailah Gifty Akita

If you have control over yourself, you have no desire to control others.Miya Yamanouchi

A man who rightly governs self, may also govern family without the crippling cowardice, crutch of control.T.F. Hodge

The world is already yours - why try to conquer it?Rasheed Ogunlaru
19
Until one nation ceases its attempts to dominate another, there will never be true freedom. Until one religion relinquishes its quest to prove its god superior to that of another, there shall never be world peace. We will never truly prosper or experience lasting harmony, until we refrain from preaching the gospel of our own moral values and our personal preferences by forcing it upon others.Anthon St. Maarten

Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.Criss Jami

Authentic leaders are often accused of being "controlling" by those who idly sit by and do nothingJohn Paul Warren

I no longer fear the pain... I fear no release from this torture...knowing that I've hurt him and he can't forgive me...that he won't be able to make me his good girl again.Willow Madison

I like the idea of you on an island..."" Oh...why's that?" She's squinting up at me, her eyes brighter than the sea in the setting sun." I could keep you all to myself. You'd be trapped, only able to come and go as I please... I'd be your Caesar..."She laughs and reaches her hand out to me, "Don't you already have that power...without need of a sea?Willow Madison

Acting so obviously submissive to Max around strangers, I felt a lot of humiliation. The looks from people, the comments. But I also felt this strange sense of pride. I am his possession, his property. And I'm proud of that. I'm proud of how happy I make him.Willow Madison
