"Discipline is choosing between what you want..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall. So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the highroad to his reason.”

“Tell the truth and you won't have so much to remember”

“Oh, yes; you Virginians shed barrels of perspiration while standing off at a distance and superintending the work your slaves do for you. It is different with us. Here it is every fellow for himself, or he doesn't get there.”

“What a searching preacher of self-command is the varying phenomenon of health.”

“Strict punctuality is a cheap virtue.”

“Discipline is training that corrects and perfects our mental faculties or molds our moral character. Discipline is control gained by enforced obedience. It is the deliberate cultivation of inner order.”

“There are three things that are the motives of choice and three that are the motives of avoidance; namely, the noble, the expedient, and the pleasant, and their opposites, the base, the harmful, and the painful. Now in respect of all these the good man is likely to go right and the bad to go wrong, but especially in respect of pleasure; for pleasure is common to man with the lower animals, and also it is a concomitant of all the objects of choice, since both the noble and the expedient appear to us pleasant.”

“Don't ask for security, ask for adventure. Better to live 30 years full of adventure than a 100 years safe in the corner.”

“Your attitude is either your best friend or your worst enemy, yourgreatest asset or your greatest liability”
