~If you will discipline yourself to make your mind self-sufficient you will thereby be least vulnerable to injury from the outside~ Critias of Athen~In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves… self-discipline with all of them came first~ Harry S. Truman
~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
~No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined~ Harry Emerson Fosdick
~Nothing of importance is ever achieved without discipline. I feel myself sometimes not wholly in sympathy with some modern educational theorists, because I think that they underestimate the part that discipline plays. But the discipline you have in your life should be one determined by your own desires and your own needs, not put upon you by society or authority~ Bertrand Russell
