“You need three things to become a successful novelist: talent, luck and discipline. Discipline is the one element of those three things that you can control, and so that is the one that you have to focus on controlling, and you just have to hope and trust in the other two.”
― Michael Chabon

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

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

“If you really want to be different, you'd better keep quiet and be a good person on the inside.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, The Book of Maxims, Poems and Anecdotes
