Control Quote by Stephen Schwartz
“You just have to know that some things are going to work and some things aren't, and sometimes that's completely out of your control, and you just have to keep going. I've been around long enough to learn that along with downs come subsequent ups, so you just have to keep going and wait for the wheel to turn again.”
