Self-Control Quotes
Restraint framed as real power, and eating as its hardest test.
These self-control quotes treat restraint as an active strength rather than mere denial, with one line calling self-control true power and another naming eating as its greatest obstacle. A third links constant self-discipline directly to greatness of character. See Discipline quotes for the wider practice behind that claim.
