President Obama has offered a plan with 4 trillion dollars in debt reduction over a decade with two and a half dollars of spending reductions for every one dollar of revenue increases and tight controls on future spending. It's the kind of balanced approach proposed by the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission.

When you relinquish the desire to control your future you can have more happiness.

This time instead of moving oceans and healing planets let's get our bills in order and pay down the debt so we control our own future.

What I'm concerned about is endless borrowing which is going to compromise our economy not only today but in the future. Because we know the decisions we make right now really dramatically impact us in the future and the debt is literally getting out of our control.

Learn from the past set vivid detailed goals for the future and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

Control your own destiny or someone else will.

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.

I think it's so funny when people think they can't control a movie star. They can. We're just women you know.

Memory is funny. Once you hit a vein the problem is not how to remember but how to control the flow.
