we cannot control how others feel and react. Even though we should understand feelings, there are some things that are out of our control, and some decisions we can only make for ourselves.

...no one can do a thing about feelings, they exist and there's no way to censor them. We can reproach ourselves for some action, for a remark, but not for a feeling, quite simply because we have no control at all over it.

We are often taught we have no control over our “feelings.” Yet most of us accept that we choose our actions, that intention and will inform what we do. We also accept that our actions have consequences.

You cannot repress anger or love, or avoid feeling them, and you should not try.

If our feelings control our actions, it is because we have abdicated our responsibility and empowered them to do so.

"There's no "should" or "should not" when it comes to having feelings. They're part of who we are and their origins are beyond our control. When we can believe that, we may find it easier to make constructive choices about what to do with those feelings."

Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.

Emotions come and go and can't be controlled so there's no reason to worry about them. That in the end, people should be judged by their actions since in the end it was actions that defined everyone.

Feelings are not something to which one does or does not have rights.

If you can't control your own emotions, you're forced to control other people's behaviour. That's why the touchiest, most oversensitive and easily upset must not set the standard for the rest of us .

We often think we express negative emotions, not because we cannot help it, but because we <i>should</i> express them.

When you are feeling upset, angry, or sad, don’t blame another for your state of mind. Your condition is the result of your own opinions and interpretations.

is not about managing your emotions; it is about managing your reactions to your emotions

It is when we lose control that we repress the emotions, not when we are in control.
