"You can control yourself if you really..." - Quote by Joyce Meyer
You can control yourself if you really want to. I'll tell you how I know you can control yourself. If you were in a full fledged emotional temper tantrum in your house and I knocked on your front door..... Come on! Let me tell you what, you would get control of yourself, and it would only take a few seconds.

“Stay, my lord, And let your reason with your choler question What 'tis you go about: to climb steep hills Requires slow pace at first: anger is like A full-hot horse, who being allow'd his way, Self-mettle tires him.

“I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.”

“I'm not saying it because I'm sweet. I'm saying it because I love you now and I always have. More than you can imagine.”
