The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves. Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength. He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander. We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment. The secret to success was then, and is now, hard work, discipline, and good habits. If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self. Winners have simply formed the habit of doing things losers don't like to do. Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most. The only way to achieve greatness is life is to have patience, consistency, and discipline.
