Quotations regarding 'Control'

Choose a letter: 
I enjoy making solo albums because over the years it's evolved into more of a genuine personal expression of story-telling and day dreams, and I work in a way that has more control.
Bruce Dickinson, English Musician (1958-  )
Watch out for the fellow who talks about putting things in order! Putting things in order always means getting other people under your control.
Denis Diderot, French Editor (1713-1784)
I thought cryptography was a technique that did not require your trusting other people-that if you encrypted your files, you would have the control to make the choice as to whether you would surrender your files.
Whitfield Diffie, American Scientist (1944-  )
This is one of the major problems we have. By the way, it was endorsed by leadership on both sides of the aisle and both ends of the Capitol, by the NRA and also by the gun control groups.
John Dingell, American Politician (1926-  )
If you talk to any of my Democratic colleagues who lost that year, they would tell that gun control was one of the major contributory factors in the loss of their seats.
John Dingell, American Politician (1926-  )
Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.
Benjamin Disraeli, British Statesman (1804-1881)
What you feel spiritually. I think a lot of that has to do with it. If you have no spiritual life, chances are everything is going to aggravate you, you're going to fly off the handle at everything and that's what I did in the past. I've kind of got that under control now.
Mike Ditka, American Coach (1939-  )
The magic of playing has to do with how much everyone wants it to succeed. If you have five players in a situation where the music is being improvised and one is determined it is not going to succeed, it won't succeed even if one of the musicians takes control.
Bill Dixon, American Musician (1925-  )
It's so difficult. Sometimes if I have dessert, I think, 'Well, I blew it.' That's something I need to work on and control. But still there's nothing like a buffet.
Donna Dixon, American Actress (1957-  )
My mother did all she could to control me, but at age 14 she sent me to a military school.
Sam Donaldson, American Journalist (1934-  )
With The Omen, I really felt I wasn't in control. It was panic.
Richard Donner, American Director (1930-  )
The only way the Internet will continue to remain the thriving medium it has become today is to keep it under the control of the United States.
John Doolittle, American Politician (1950-  )
If the U.N. were to be successful in its efforts to control the Internet, countries where human rights records range from questionable to criminal could be put in charge of determining what is and is not allowed to appear online.
John Doolittle, American Politician (1950-  )
That's the danger of having too much success. You lose that magic, that feeling of not being in control, which I feel now, it's too controlled.
Stephen Dorff, American Actor (1973-  )
The recent 'panic' to control greenhouse gas emissions and billions of dollars being dedicated for the task has me deeply concerned that US, and other countries are spending precious global funds to stop global warming, when it is primarily being driven by natural forcing mechanisms.
Diane Douglas, Scientist
My dear colleague James Hansen, I believe, has finally gone off the deep end... The global warming 'time bomb,' 'disastrous climate changes that spiral dynamically out of humanity's control.' These are the words of an apocalyptic prophet, not a rational scientist.
Nicholas Drapela, Scientist
In the first moments, the members of the Presidium who were with me at the Secretariat were taken to the Party Central Committee under the control of Soviet forces.
Alexander Dubcek, Czechoslovakian Politician (1921-1992)
I love clothes. I can't control myself. I have a huge fetish for shoes and clothes and make-up. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to wear things over and over again.
Hilary Duff, American Actress (1987-  )
I still have highs and lows, just like any other person. What's missing is the lack of control over the super highs, which became destructive, and the super lows, which are immediately destructive.
Patty Duke, American Actress (1946-  )
The gun issue is a big, unresolved issue in this country right now. I think it's out of control.
Nora Dunn, American Actress (1952-  )
