“He is most powerful who has power over himself”
Seneca
“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still”
Lao Tzu
“He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“If a man will understand how intimately, yea, how inseparably, self-control and happiness are associated, he has but to look into his own heart, and upon the world around,...Looking upon the lives of men and women, he will perceive how the hasty word, the bitter retort, the act of deception, the blind prejudice and foolish resentment bring wretchedness and even ruin in their train.”
James Allen
“Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward.”
Napoleon Hill
“Your dream is the most beautiful one but the question is this: Will you have the discipline to make it a reality ?”
Maxime Lagacé
“Discipline is choosing between what you want NOW and what you want MOST.”
