Reaction Control

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or control:

“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

“Not being able to control events, I control myself; and I adapt myself to them, if they do not adapt themselves to me.”
