“The only meaningful kind of discipline there is in the world is

the discipline we freely and willingly impose on ourselves.”

“The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom.

But in the last analysis our only freedom is the

freedom to discipline ourselves.”

“Discipline is the refining fire by

which talent becomes ability.”
—Roy L. Smith—

“There is one quality which one must possess to win, and

that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one

wants, and a burning desire to possess it.”
—Napoleon Hill—

“The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this

constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a

small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.”

“If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic

that I regard as being most highly correlated with success,

whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence.

Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked

down seventy times and get up off the floor
saying, ‘Here goes number seventy-one!’”
—Richard M. DeVoss—
