All successes begin with Self-Discipline. It starts with you.

Without self-discipline, success is impossible, period.

Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline.

Willpower is that thing CEOs and professional athletes tell us they used to make it to the top.

SELF-DISCIPLINE, more than any other personal quality I can think of, is the one thing that separates successful people from the unsuccessful. Think of all it encompasses: honoring commitments, promises and deadlines, keeping your life on schedule, being willing to go the extra mile... Self-discipline is essential to success. The alternative is a life ruled by emotions, and none of us can afford that if we're going to fulfill our purpose and realize our potential.

The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called "spannungsbogen" -- which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.

If you want to be really successful, and I know you do, then you will have to give up blaming and complaining and take total responsibility for your life -- that means all your results, both your successes and your failures. That is the prerequisite for creating a life of success.

Self-discipline is the key to personal greatness. It is the magic quality that opens all doors for you, and makes everything else possible.

The one human quality that must be developed is self discipline for success. The will power to force yourself to do what you know you should do when you should do it, whether you like it or not, whether you feel like it or not. Success is tons of discipline.

Discipline yourself to do the things you need to do when you need to do them, and the day will come when you will be able to do the things you want to do when you want to do them!

The bridge between wishing and accomplishing is discipline.

Anyone can do something when they want to do it. Really successful people do things when they don't want to do it.

Emotional self-control-- delaying gratification and stifling impulsiveness- underlies accomplishment of every sort

Longing and desire goes further than instant satisfaction. That's human nature.

I don't think the way to succeed is by doing something aggressive. Aggression is weak-minded.

The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.

Discipline is doing what you really don't want to do so you can do what you really want to do.

Personal discipline, when it becomes a way of life in our personal, family, and career lives, will enable us to do some incredible things.
