But for certain individuals you among 'em it has many points, and, pursued with discretion, is likely to prove highly beneficial. 'Ah! The let-be policy? Heron nodded. 'Of all creeds, he said, 'perhaps the one that calls for the most rigid self-control for a certain type of man, the type that most needs its use.
Have you any other question or suggestion?" Neither magnate answered. Flint was trying hard to hold his self-control. Waldron, red-faced now and highly stimulated, looked as though he had been drinking even more than usual. Both passed out of the laboratory with rather unsteady steps.
The muscular morality resulting from training one's will develops in proportion to one's ability to overthrow one's own unruly impulses. It is almost universally maintained by poets, on the contrary, that their gift depends upon their yielding themselves utterly to every fugitive impulse and emotion. Little modern verse vaunts the poet's stern self-control. George Meredith may cry,
Burke stood up again. Somehow all the hardness had gone out of him though the resolution remained. He put a hand on Guy's shoulder, and gently shook him. "Don't do it, boy! Don't do it! Pull yourself together for heaven's sake! Drink do anything but this! You'll want to shoot yourself afterwards." But Guy was utterly broken, his self-control beyond recovery.
Miss Carter was not a woman of iron nerve and this dispassionate talk of killing affected her visibly. As the old woman proceeded with her disquieting recital, her face blanched, but with a great effort at self-control she held her peace; this was evidently the hour of revelations and she had to know!

Bartlett followed his master, but Uncle Chirgwin had taken a considerable start of him. The old man was terribly shocked to hear the news, for he had clung to a theory that Joan was long since in London. Dread and fear came over him. The thought of facing this particular corpse was more than he could contemplate with self-control. A great nervous terror mingled with his grief.
A great anger surged up in Howard's soul, and his jaw set with a fierce line that those who knew him well had learned to understand meant self-control under deep provocation. He would have liked nothing better than to surprise the insolent young snob with a well-directed blow in his pretty face that would have sent him sprawling in the aisle.
His commonplace of courtesy indicated, not recovered self-control, but the cunning of his rampant instinct of self-preservation that cunning which men so often exhibit in desperate straits, thereby winning credit for cool courage. "We're a merry company," said I, as we sat. This, with a glance at Dominick heaving in the subsiding storm of his mirth. My remark set him off again.
