George Orwell Quotes

Circus dogs jump when the trainer cracks his whip.

The dog won't bite if you beat Him with a bone

Men had better be without education than be educated by their rulers; for their education is but the mere breaking in of the steer to the yoke; the mere discipline of the hunting dog, which, by dint of severity, is made to forego the strongest impulse of his nature, and instead of devouring his prey, to hasten with it to the feet of his master.

I've learned over the years that freedom is just the other side of discipline.

If we do not discipline ourselves the world will do it for us.

The motivation part is all essential in keeping my voice, but there are the human factors of discipline.

Good habits are worth being fanatical about.

Attitudes about the rearing and education of children vary between two extremes. One, which might be labeled “authoritarian” or “coercive,” rests on an assumption that children are by nature irresponsible and lazy, and will do their schoolwork only if they are penalized for a poor performance. The opposite view might be labeled “progressive” or “democratic.” It rests on the assumption that children who are brought up with love, trust, and clear but kind leadership are eager to grow up and be like their parents, eager to explore, learn, master skills, and take on responsibility; they need guidance but not sternness or punishment.

Self-government won't work without self-discipline.

I focus on myself, and I train for myself.

Nobody is pushing me. Nobody is telling me what I do.

I love to fight. Keeping me at home without a fight is the same to offer candy to a kid and then take it away. That's why I'm always competing in other martial arts. That keeps me motivated to train and helps me learn even more.

Children can become self-reliant and self-disciplined by being free to do what they want to do.

I was very disciplined growing up. If I didn't want to run hills, I ran hills; if I didn't want to jog around the block, I jogged around the block.

Obedience is the path to freedom.

You will have no sensation of a leash around your neck if you sit by the peg. It is only when you stray that you feel the restraining tug.

Beat a dog once and you only have to show him the whip.

My mom never really pushed me into doing something. It was kind of whatever I wanted to do, and that was what made me continue and have the longevity that I had in my career. I went through ups and downs in the pool when I loved it and when I hated it.

A man who cannot command himself will always be a slave.

Discipline says, 'I need to.' Duty says, 'I ought to.' Devotion says, 'I want to.'

If you would wish the dog to follow you, feed him

True obedience is true freedom.

The purpose of discipline is not to punish, but to correct.
