Matthew Kelly
“The notion of freedom proclaimed by the modern world is anti-discipline. But true freedom cannot be separated from discipline.”
Matthew Kelly, Rediscover Catholicism

Robert Greene
“Understand: your mind is weaker than your emotions. But you become aware of this weakness only in moments of adversity--precisely the time when
you need strength. What best equips you to cope with tthe heat of battle is neither more knowledge nor more
intellect. What makes your mind stronger, and more
able to control your emotions, is internal discipline
and toughness.
No one can teach you this skill; you cannot learn it by reading about it. Like any discipline, it can come only through practice, experience, even a little suffering.”
Robert Greene, The 33 Strategies of War

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

Haruki Murakami
“Have your dream...What you need now more than anything is discipline. Cast off mere words. Words turn into stone. (from Thailand)”
Haruki Murakami, After the Quake
