Mortimer J. Adler
“True freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.”
Mortimer J. Adler, How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading

Abraham Joshua Heschel
“Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows
with the ability to say no to oneself.”
Abraham Joshua Heschel

Bill Ayers
“Your kids require you most of all to love them for who they are, not to spend your whole time trying to correct them.”
Bill Ayers

John F. MacArthur Jr.
“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.

Friedrich Nietzsche
“The overman...Who has organized the chaos of his passions, given style to his character, and become creative. Aware of life's terrors, he affirms life without resentment. ”
Friedrich Nietzsche
