Discipline Quotes

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. 
Aristotle


If you will discipline yourself to make your mind self-sufficient you will thereby be least vulnerable to injury from the outside.

Critias of Athen

It's a question of discipline," the little prince told me later on.  "When you' have finished washing and dressing each morning, you must tend your planet.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince


In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves… self-discipline with all of them came first.
Harry S. Truman


The secret of success is constancy of purpose.
Benjamin Disraeli

Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness. Here is the great secret: Just as high awareness of the subtle truth is gained through virtuous conduct and sustaining disciplines, so also is it maintained through these things. Highly evolved beings know and respect the truth of this.
Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching
