Self-Discipline

The first and best victory is to conquer self

• A man without decision of character

can never be said to belong to himself

He belongs to whatever can make captive of him

• Self-discipline can’t be a one-time event

It has to become a lifestyle

• Almost all our faults are more pardonable

than the methods we think up to hide them

• Anytime you concentrate on the difficulty of the work

instead of its results or rewards

you are likely to become discouraged

Count the benefits of doing what’s right and then dive in

• Talent without discipline

is like an octopus on roller skates

There’s plenty of movement

But

one never knows if it’s going be forward

backwards or sideways
