Results from Classic Quotes:

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.: Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826), (Attributed)

The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.: Philip K. Dick (1928 - 1982), How To Build A Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later (1978)
I'm a bit of an abstract figure that people can project their fantasies on; it's pretty much what we all are, otherwise we wouldn't be stars, and people wouldn't be interested. But people project things on you that have nothing to do with what you really are, or they see a little something and then exaggerate it. And you can't really control that.: Salma Hayek

Yes, our company is at risk because we cede control to the users, but that's how we do our business. If the community decides to kill the business, maybe it deserves to die.: Jeffrey Kalmikoff, Designing for Community with Zero-Advertising Brands, SXSW 2006
I've always wanted to own and control the primary technology in everything we do.: Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011), BusinessWeek Online, Oct. 12, 2004
To design is to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master.: Milton Glaser

If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?: George Orwell (1903 - 1950), 1984
I'll be ready for it to happen and that way it won't happen. It's a burden, being able to control situations with my hyper-vigilance, but it's my lot in life.: Tina Fey, Bossypants, 2011
Once you understand the power of stimulus control, you can use it to your advantage by changing the stimuli in your environment and avoiding undesirable ones; or, if that's not possible, by filling your consciousness with thoughts about their less tempting aspects.: Jonathan Haidt, The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom, 2005
What self-control doesn't mean is mindless self-sacrifice or knee-jerk self-denial. On the contrary, it represents an affirmation of self, for it requires not the negation of instinct but its integration into a more complete form of character-one that takes account of more than just immediate pleasures and pains. The self-control I'm talking about means acting in keeping with your highest level of reflection.: Daniel Akst, We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess, 2011
