Self Control

The man who masters himself is delivered from the force that binds all creatures
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Without self control, enthusiasm resembles the unharnessed lightning of an electrical storm It may strike anywhere; It may destroy life and poverty.

Enthusiasm is the vital quality that arouses you to action, while self control is the balance wheel that directs your action so that it will build up not tear down.

Self control is the ability to direct your thoughts, and this your actions, in the pursuit of your definite chief aim.

To be a person who is "well balance," you must be a person in whom Enthusiasm and self control are equalized.

It is a fact that the majority of our personal grief comes about through lack of self-control.
The holy scriptures are full of admonition in support of self control. They even urge us to love our enemies and to forgive those who injure us.

If you neglect to exercise. Self control, you are not only likely to injure others but you are sure to injure yourself!

The growth of wisdom may be gauged accurately by the decline of ill-temper.
-Friedrich Nietzsche

Luck is not chance it's foil - fortune's expensive smile is earned
-Emily Dickinson

No one can control others unless they first control them self.

Lack of self control is the average salespersons most damaging weakness.

Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

Not liquidating a losing trade, even after you have acknowledged the trade's potential is greatly diminished. 3. Getting locked into a specific opinion or belief about market direction.
