"Discipline makes hard men. Every hard man..." - Quote by Mike Tyson
Discipline makes hard men. Every hard man is capable of being a killer. But every killer is not capable of being a hard man. They can't endure that much. It's all about the endurance. That's why they become killers. Because they can't endure the pain. They need to kill the pain to stop it.

“Fear and the thought of failure . . . But we don't really know what fear is. Fear is something that we create in our own minds. Fear could be like fire. You can use it to heat you up, keep you warm, cook your food. There are so many things you can use it for. But if you allow it to go out of control, it will destroy you and everything around you.”
“I'm addicted to perfection. Problem with my life is I was always also addicted to chaos. Perfect chaos.”

“Self-command is the main elegance.”
“No method nor discipline can supersede the necessity of being forever on the alert. What is a course of history, or philosophy, or poetry, or the most admirable routine of life, compared with the discipline of looking always at what is to be seen? Will you be a reader, a student merely, or a seer?”
“Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.”

“All endeavour calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil.”
“What is well rooted cannot be pulled up. What is firmly grasped will not slip loose. It will be honoured from generation to generation.”
“I have nothing but the embittered sun;Banished heroic mother moon and vanished,And now that I have come to fifty yearsI must endure the timid sun.”
