We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
Jim Rohn
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Frank Herbert
Cheerfulness in most cheerful people, is the rich and satisfying result of strenuous discipline.
Edwin P. Whipple
Restraint and discipline and examples of virtue and justice. These are the things that form the education of the world.
Edmund Burke
If you will discipline yourself to make your mind self-sufficient you will thereby be least vulnerable to injury from the outside.
Critias of Athens
So far as discipline is concerned, freedom means not its absence but the use of higher and more rational forms as contrasted with those that are lower or less rational.
Charles Horton Cooley
Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.
Buddha
A stern discipline pervades all nature, which is a little cruel that it may be very kind.
Herbert Spencer
No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline.
Seneca
That discipline which corrects the eagerness of worldly passions, which fortifies the heart with virtuous principles, which enlightens the mind with useful knowledge, and furnishes to it matter of enjoyment from within itself, is of more consequence to real felicity than all the provisions which we can make of the goods of fortune.
Robert Blair
Discipline must come through liberty. . . . We do not consider an individual disciplined only when he has been rendered as artificially silent as a mute and as immovable as a paralytic. He is an individual annihilated, not disciplined.
Maria Montessori
The first and the best victory is to conquer self.
Plato
The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others.
Tyron Edwards
