“Why is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire. Saying no to our impulses (even the ones that are not inherently sinful) puts us in control of our appetites rather than vice versa. It deposes our lust and permits truth, virtue, and integrity to rule our minds instead.”
― John MacArthur Jr.

“The most powerful control we can ever attain, is to be in control of ourselves.”

“The real liberation dwells in the discipline.”
― Neeraj Agnihotri, Procrasdemon - The Artist's Guide to Liberation from Procrastination
