Quotes about discipline
It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.
James Gordon
Do we need more time? Or do we need to be more disciplined with the time we have?
Kerry Johnson
I find in life that most affairs that require serious handling are distasteful. For this reason, I have always believed that the successful man has the hardest battle with himself rather than with the other fellow. To bring one's self to a frame of mind and to the proper energy to accomplish things that require plain hard work continuously is the one big battle that everyone has. When this battle is won for all time, then everything is easy.
Thomas Buckner
Men who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others idled, have persevered when others gave up in despair, have practiced early in life the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy in later life the success so often erroneously attributed to good luck.
Grenville Kleiser
Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves. They therefore remain bound. The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can never fail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set.
James Allen
A man whose first thought is bestial indulgence could neither think clearly nor plan methodically. He could not find and develop his latent resources, and would fail in any undertaking. Not having commenced manfully to control his thoughts, he is not in a position to control affairs and to adopt serious responsibilities.
James Allen
Strength of character means strong feelings, and strong command over them. This is where foresight, judgment, and will-power unite to form the most vital and important cement of a strong personality. To subordinate the lower nature to the higher, to be able to forego a present pleasure for a greater future good, is a distinguishing mark of the highest type of character. Self-denial is essential to manhood; for, to make one's life count, demands sacrifice.
Councillor
Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do, and that often means living outside the limits of one's comfort zone.
Jeff Olson
Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves.
Joseph Thompson
