He had been a leader in intermittent raids into forbidden spheres; a leader also in certain more decorous pursuits if athletics may be so accounted; yet he had capable of long periods of self-control, for a cause. Through it all a spark had miraculously been kept alive.... Popularity followed him from the small New England college to the Harvard Law School.
By an effort of self-control which no words can convey a just sense of she remained with her children, while her husband with a laugh more teasing than can be imagined went into the drawing-room to meet Burnamy. The poor fellow was in an effect of belated summer as to clothes, and he looked not merely haggard but shabby.
The horse was soon tired after its quick gallop, and Pyotr Mihalitch was tired too. The storm-cloud looked at him angrily and seemed to advise him to go home. He felt a little scared. "I will prove to them they are wrong," he tried to reassure himself. "They will say that it is free-love, individual freedom; but freedom means self-control and not subjection to passion.
Corny was wildly crying now, and Rectus was as white as a sheet. No one seemed to have any hope or self-control except the captain. Some of the men looked as if they did not care whether the ship ever came back or not. "The sea is too high," said one of them. "She'd swamp a boat, if she'd put it out."

The form of indigestion accompanied by great acidity and gas formation is a prolific source of worry, as well as of other mental and physical troubles.
She began to chide herself for her senseless panic she the bearer of other people's burdens, who prided herself upon her steady nerve and calmness of purpose. She had never been hysterical in her life before. Surely she could muster self-control now, when her need of it was so urgent, so imperative. And then, just as a certain measure of composure had returned to her, something happened.
The difficulty is founded on the nature of the good itself, which on its personal side depends on the spontaneous flow of feeling checked and guided not by external restraint but by rational self-control. To try to form character by coercion is to destroy it in the making.
Resolution is a quality or power of mind totally independent of knowledge of the world. The habit of self-control can be acquired by any individual, in any situation. Ormond had practised and strengthened it, even in the retirement of the Black Islands.
That was what she'd do and so, with her little hands clenched and feverish face, she sat and thought, letting her imagination work. A few mornings later Bancroft came down early. He had slept badly, had been nervous and disturbed by jealous forebodings, and had not won easily to self-control.
