A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Chinese Proverb If we don't discipline ourselves, the world will do it for us. William Feather The first and best victory is to conquer self. Plato There are no short cuts to any place worth going. Beverly Sills Rule your mind or it will rule you. Horace Well begun is half done. Aristotle Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Ann Landers Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be forward, backwards, or sideways. H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Develop the winning edge; small differences in your performance can lead to large differences in your results. Brian Tracy Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments. Jim Rohn Never suffer your courage to exert itself in fierceness, your resolution in obstinacy, your wisdom in cunning, nor your patience in sullenness and despair. Charles Palmer You must never be satisfied with losing. You must get angry, terribly angry, about losing. But the mark of the good loser is that he takes his anger out on himself and not his victorious opponents or on his teammates. Richard Nixon This quality of self-denial in pursuit of a longer-term goal and, indeed, the willpower to maintain the denial, is excellent training for the boardroom. Nobody's a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It's hard to stay on top. Paul Coffey Success is a matter of understanding and religiously practicing specific, simple habits that always lead to success. Robert J. Ringer It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, 'always do what you are afraid to do.' Ralph Waldo Emerson The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince. Vince Lombardi Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal. Vince Lombardi Let me ... remind you that it is only by working with an energy which is almost superhuman and which looks to uninterested spectators like insanity that we can accomplish anything worth the achievement. Work is the keystone of a perfect life. Work and trust in God. Woodrow Wilson By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually get to be boss and work 12 hours a day. A successful career will no longer be about promotion. It will be about mastery. Michael Hammer Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can never fail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set. This is true of earthly as of heavenly things. Even the man whose object is to acquire wealth must be prepared to make great personal sacrifices before he can accomplish his object; and how much more so he who would realize a strong and well-poised life. James Allen Discipline is remembering what you want. David Campbell A colt is worth little if it does not break its halter. Proverb An individual who is active in higher learning soon becomes an individual active in higher earning. Michael Gulliver You can never conquer the mountain. You can only conquer yourself. Jim Whittaker It is necessary to try to surpass one's self always: this occupation ought to last as long as life. Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds. Benjamin Disraeli It is not enough to have great qualities; We should also have the management of them. I think the guys who are really controlling their emotions ... are going to win. Tiger Woods Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself-and be lenient to everybody else. Henry Ward Beecher Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. Lao Tzu A man without decision of character can never be said to belong to himself ... He belongs to whatever can make captive of him. John Foster Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time leading yourself—your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers. If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates,' then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny. We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can never fail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set. This is true of earthly as of heavenly things. Even the man whose object is to acquire wealth must be prepared to make great personal sacrifices before he can accomplish his object; and how much more so he who would realize a strong and well-poised life. James Allen Mental toughness is many things and rather difficult to explain. Its qualities are sacrifice and self-denial. Also, most importantly, it is combined with a perfectly disciplined will that refuses to give in. It's a state of mind-you could call it character in action. Vince Lombardi Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable, procures success to the weak, and esteem to all.
