Self-control is a very complex quality.

194.  The attainment of equilibrium of conditions is possible only through raising the quality of labor.  Then each one can apply self-control.  Then each one can ask any outside controller to show personally what is better.      -M:  Community 1926

49.  Cosmic Justice is aware of the design of evolution, and the plan is executed in accordance with the design of one and the same law of the fire of the Mother of the World.    -M:  Infinity 1, 1930

306.  The Teacher can point out the direction, sometimes he can forewarn, but many actions must be performed by the disciples themselves.  Moreover it is necessary to manifest these actions voluntarily.  In this voluntary striving is contained self-perfectment.  Each infusion of self-interest or fear will sever the salutary link.     -M:  Heart 1932

634.  Self-control is a very complex quality.  It comprises courage, patience and compassion.   -M:  Fiery World 1933
